Tony Stewart
Who Am I:
Goofy guy with a weird sense of humor. Works alot, rides bikes. Listen to lots of music and reads some. Coffee is a good, good thing.
Favorite Racing Moment:
Anytime there's a close, beating and bumping race going down to the wire.
How I discovered Rowdy, and why I Listen:
I was searching iTunes a few years ago for NASCAR offerings. What was there was meager except for Rowdy. It was well produced, insightful, humorous and the guys talked enough about themselves that you felt like you were hanging out with friends. Never tunred back, even paid for a subscription for awhile during that dark time.
Why I'm a race fan:
Got back in to racing after a long layoff when my parents bought tickets for my brothers, our wives, and myself to the CocaCola 600 in 2000. It's crept up since then.
What car/truck I drive now:
05 Chevy Malibu, Bruiser my 'cross bike.
My dream car:
Original GT40, DeThomaso Pantera, Rivendell custom

Work way too much.

A Celebration of Acceleration
OK, back to racin'! And the Bud shootout had been run. Dale Jr. got his first win in, even tho it doesn't mean a whole heck of a lot. But I am happy for him.
While I wasn't surprised that the Toyota's are up front for the Duels and did well in the Shootout, keep in mind that the Gibbs' Toyotas (supposedly Toyota's savior) weren't the fastest of the Toys. Good for Michael Waltrip Racing, especially Reutimann. And I am especailly happy for Dave Blaney.
I've always thought of Dave as a pretty good driver. Many of you may recall several years ago (OK, 20012)Dave having a heck of a run with Booty Barker as his Crew Chief in a not-Top-Tier team (Jasper Engines #77). This really put Booty on everybody's radar it seems. Last year when he hit the Busch series, he ran pretty dang good, too. On top of that, I'm an Ohio boy so this year I'm really rooting for Dave.
Don't get me wrong, I am not bailing out on Matt Kenseth. I still am a fan of Matt. As well it has nothing to do with manufacturer, either. But I am really, really, really hoping Dave Blaney finally gets a win this year.
So for me, I'm rooting for the CAT Toy this year in addition to the #17. Anyone else pulling for a new driver this year?
I'm watching Scott Speed (those white Willie Wonka sunglasses have got to GO!) and I also have a soft spot for Hornish for no apparent reason ...

Well, as many have heard me say, I'm rooting for Tony Stewart this year, but I have a huge soft spot in my heart for Mikey Waltrip. I would like to see Toyota do well. I am also rooting quietly for the Gnassi team. And I will ALWAYS root for Boris Said. Always. Okay, and Dale Jr. and Jeff Gordon are fine, too. I'm all over the place, huh?!
