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.

05 Chevy Malibu, Bruiser my 'cross bike.

Cycling, reading. I like to sleep from time to time, too.
Vices:
Work way too much.
Virtues:
Oh, I am SO virtuous!

My Dad. My Sons.
Double-secret probation sensation!
Woo-hoo! Tony and Kurt now are on probation by the same NASCAR that was almost giddy by the fact that these two were "showing more of themselves."
What? Didn't we just get the message from NASCAR that they weren't imposing penalties? That just makes me wonder if NASCAR isn't just playing both sides of the fence here. Is it all done to help generate hype for the upcoming races?
Please, by all means, let me know if I am wrong.
Tough call cause Kurt pulled the same move last year. They didn't take points. To me that was telling. They have backed off.

By putting them on probation they are calling more attention to what happened. They can't let the talk about it go away before the Twins, it might pick up viewer ship of the races.
NASCAR knows people watch the race for the crashes and the fights (pretty much like hockey), so it looks like they are trying to feed it.

Our paper says that 'probation' will mean something different this year to NASCAR. They 'really mean it' this time and will hold the drivers accountable if probation is broken. Yeah, right. I'll believe that when I see it.
