LOL! I should have sworn off them too! Then I might not be 24 and divorced! LOL! But life happens sometimes. You live and you learn. And I have a beautiful daughter to show for it! =0) So as you can tell, though I am a bit younger, I have little in common with most of the girls on the official board (except liking Kasey). So I thought maybe a board for the "adult" Kasey fans might be a good idea. Especially since there are several that used to be Bill Elliot fans and could care less about what Kasey looks like. hehehe

ROFLOL!! Too funny! I'm not a fan of Tony either. And that whole deal made me mad too! But I already didn't like Tony before that ever happened! Of course I've been watching NASCAR for a few years now.

Kasey is actually not my #1 favorite... lol. Dale Jarrett is. But DJ is 47 years old so it won't be too much longer before he retires. I figured I'd better find someone to pull for once he is gone. And Kasey really stood out to me. And, like you, I liked picking a rookie so that I could say I'd been there from the beginning. =0)

Amen! I was the same way though... Couldn't figure out for the life of me what would make someone want to sit for 4 hours and watch a bunch of "red necks" turn left at 200 mph! LOL! Goes to show you what I knew! Then I actually watched a race... OMG I was soooo hooked! DJ won that race by the way... he started like 30th and then won. I figured you have to be one hell of a driver to do that, so I started paying attention to him. And the more I watched him, and learned about him, the more I liked him. He will always be my favorite... but Kasey is a very close second.

Could be, but I doubt it. I am so not a conspiracy theorist.. LOL! I am usually the last person to believe stuff that I hear. Gotta do my "research" first. LOL! But hopefully NASCAR isn't THAT messed up! =0)

You are mature for your age. I would have guessed you were in your thirties. I mean that as a very high complement! I've never been married and don't have any children. I guess I've seen so much divorce that I'm afraid of marrying the wrong one or I'm just too independent...probably both. LOL! My biological clock is ringing a little, but I rather never have children than have them with the wrong man. I've seen so many children go through heartache after heartache due to a dead beat dad. I hope you are in a better situation.

I like DJ too! I like a lot of drivers, Kasey's just my favorite out of the bunch. I wish I had watched Nascar when Bill Elliot was racing full time. I really respect him for helping Kasey.

I've become a complete Nascar junkie! My whole weekend revolves around the races or I'm taping them if I'm out. I don't know what I'm going to do in 2 weeks when the the season is over. :( LOL!!! Hurry up season 2005!!!

I'm not a conspiracy theorist either by nature. I know it's mostly being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I just think it's odd that some of the best drivers seem to "accidentally" bump Kasey into the wall....LOL!!! ;0) Actually it might be a complement to Kasey if they are taking him out on purpose. I think it would be too funny that some of these drivers who have won so many races would be threatened by a rookie. Actually, Jimmy Johnson said after the 26th race that he feared Kasey the most if he had made the final 10. I think it's cool that Kasey has managed to earn respect from a lot of the drivers. However, I've noticed that most drivers drive cleanly and earn their win by being the best team. Of course, you are going to have a few bad apples in every sport, culture, etc.

Danggit! Shane Hmiel just took 2nd. Kasey's now 4th out of 37 in qualifying...still not bad! I'm impressed that he beat out some of the top truck drivers!

I think qualifying is over and Kasey is definitely starting 4th! Great job, Kasey!!!
