Nobody likes a rain delay; the drivers, the teams and the fans. In the stands or at home. I started my day wondering what will be my next blog. You could talk about the big one or bump drafting  but then how would I get to that point when my 5 year old daughter and 1 year old son are play wrestling and screaming during the pre-race show. Getting through the race with the kids awake is a big enough challenge.  Then a rain delay - Yipeeee! I can get my kids tuckered out and take a nap, hopefully in time for me to watch at least a couple of hours without any interruptions. So, with some time to spare - we played a little and then turned our attention to some chores around the house - and when I mean chores - I mean chores that you don't necessarily do day to day. This rain delay was a small window of opportunity. You have maybe an hour to complete something before the race starts and so you methodically weigh the choices in front of you. Clean out the junk drawer, throw out the refrigerator leftovers, iron my work clothes for the entire week. Well, since I can watch the commentary while I was still in the kitchen, I chose leftovers. My husband even got into this cherished time and started pulling dandelions in our backyard. He even spot cleaned my daughter's carpet in her room. We were really getting a lot accomplished - then they announced that the race was postponed. What?!?!? My initial reaction of joy quickly switched to annoyance. Now it was like I did all that work for nothing. No reward for cleaning out moldy macaroni and cheese. I was going to have to continue washing these dishes just for the mere satisfaction that I would have a clean refrigerator. Even though I would be able to justify sitting on my couch for a couple of hours watching telelvision this evening; its just not as enjoyable if I'm not watching a race. I would have to catch the race during my lunch hour and lap by lap updates on the internet. I went on with my boring Sunday and finished my initial chores of cleaning out the junk drawer and ironing my work clothes for the rest of the week. If I can't watch the race, I guess a clean house comes in a close second.

I called my husband and said "You know how sometimes I do crazy things...well...I've created this blog..." And not just any blog on any blog site. Its Foxsports.com where people know sports beyond sports. I'm actually going to have to back up what I say now - what have I done? I just visit foxsports.com for the Sexiest Driver Poll, and before I could think twice I created my blog site and just started typing away. I realized that night if I was going to get serious about this blog it would mean drastic measures, and that meant I had to trim my fingernails. I could not continue typing accurately with the length they were at. Seriously though, this blog is created through the eyes of a female NASCAR fan and to bring entertainment to other NASCAR fans.

And speaking of polls - who is really voting? Is it all women because if it is they have not seen the cover of the ESPN magazine a few weeks ago. You know the one - with Carl Edwards half naked in his driver's suit. Even after that publicity, he still lost to Kurt Busch. Come on - we're talking SEXIEST driver here. As of my vote today, there were 312, 083 votes between Jimmy Johnson and Tony Stewart - its a good thing that Foxsports does not ask whether you are male of female because I don't think it is all women voting on this poll.

Next blog - love means a two way headset.
