So I have mentioned before but I am so impressed with Erik Jones. He did an amazing job last night in his first (official) race and I loved that interview with his mom and how he said she couldn't embarrass him because she's his mom. He is so sweet and calm and collected. I hated that his night had to end how it did because he was looking like he had the potential to get a top five in his first run out. It was awesome to see and for him to qualify 12'th it was amazing what he was doing. The way he was dominating the truck race it reminded me a lot of Kyle Busch. Kyle clearly knew what he was talking about when he picked Erik to drive for him. I wish Kyle and Sam all the best in the birth of their upcoming son. Kyle we can't wait to see you back at the racetrack soon.
I've been so pleased to see Martin Truex Jr running good after the year he had last year. He and his brother have overcome so many odds in their racing careers and I hate that his brother doesn't have a ride right now because I think he would be doing awesome if he could just get a competitive ride and seat time. I wish Martin, Sherry and all involved in their amazing cause the Catwalk for a Cause this wensday it's awesome what they do and I wish them all the best.
One thing I love about NASCAR is how much social interaction their is between the drivers and their fans. Last night during the rain delay I was talking with Sherry Pollex and Ryan Truex. I've also spoke to Colin Braun, Jordan Fish, Kris Buescher, James Buescher, Haley Dillon, Ryan Reed and possibly a few others on twitter and met Kurt Busch, Ryan Newman and Joey Logano in person. It's so cool that they take the time to talk with their fans. Let me know what are some interactions you've had with some of your favorite drivers or their significant others via social media.
Happy Mothers day to my mom who is the best mom out there. I love you so much thanks for all you do. Happy Mothers day to all the NASCAR moms and every other mom out their. I also think of those Moms who are overseas fighting for our freedoms and can't spend the days with their families I salute you thank you for all you do.
