How many times in the past have you met someone famous? It could be a movie star.Or maybe a race car driver. Or even a rock star.Then maybe a couple months later you meet them again. Do they remember you? Probably not. Out here in Cali the company that I work for. We do alot of work at Warner Brothers studios. And of course its not uncommon to see maybe Charlie Sheen or George Lopez cruising around the lot. We have seen Clint Eastwood since he has his offices as well as his production company on the lot. I have also been in Joel Silvers office as well as George Clooney's.

I can still remember when Walter Matthau was still alive. You could always see him at a Dodger game, just as much as Jack Nicholson is at Laker games. But how many famous sports writers do you know? How many have you met? How many of them have answered your emails? How many of them actually answer there own emails instead of having someone from there staff do it?  Without throwing any names in the mix. There is one certain female sportswriter.  The best that she could write about was sealions and almost meeting Tom Cruise at the race in California.

Well I emailed her and asked why she would waste a perfectly good but rainy weekend writing about something like that? Of course I got no reply. Come to think about it. I have never gotten any reply from the few that I have written to. I guess once you become quote unquote famous or you get a paid writing job. You no longer have to worry about what anyone thinks. Well we here at Foxsports have our own writer who in my opinion is one of the best. Her writing skills are unmatched by some of the best that I have seen or read. She writes with a flair like no other. Her talent shines thru as you read word after word. You can feel the love that she has for the sport in all of her writings. Whether she is writing one of her very informative stories. Or she is showing her love by coming in and commenting on a post.

It makes me wonder how the 2 can be so different in there writing styles. One is so passionate about her writing. And the other is lets just say. Maybe just doing it for the paycheck. Is that really to harsh of a way to put it. I dont think so. Thats what makes us bloggers different from the writers. Writers write and bloggers blog. We dont have to worry about our boss telling us what we can and cannot write. Thats why alot of us can get really deep in our dicussions and hit on some touchy subjects. No money. No worry. Thats what also makes reading Kristen Valus posts so unique. She writes with no worries. She brings a really good writing style as well as alot of behind the scenes stuff that alot of us fans likes to read about.

She has also shown that its not only the men reporters who can chop it up with the drivers. And along with that.  She also gets right in there and brings us back some good technical info that alot of fans likes to hear about as well as some really good behind the scenes stuff that alot of us fans dont know about. Kristen to me is setting the tone for future women reporters in Nascar. Not only women but for the men also. Look out guys  there's a new sherrif in town. The really cool thing is that she will answer your emails. Which also tells us that she is still humble enough to be able to handle the big assignments and not forget who her friends are. How awesome will that be to go to a race and see her there. Then to have her come up and say Hi. But something even better then that is when she calls you by your name.  And just the same way that she chops it up with the drivers. She will also chop it up with you.

Kristen Im sure that alot of us here at Foxsports will continue to support you on your journey to writing stardom. Is that putting it to lightly. I don't think so because you have earned it. You have more then proven yourself. Now its time to reach out and grab your star that is out there waiting for you. Because I am sure that there is one with your name on it. How cool is that. P.S. Just remember us when you do make it to the big leagues. This way once my grandkids get older. I can tell them that I know a Nascar writer by name and that she also knows me. Good Luck in all that you do. Im Out
