Welcome to The Fast and the Fabulous! This was a blog based on one woman's thoughts, opinions and experiences involving NASCAR and IndyCar. As of February 20, 2015 this blog is no longer active. Find out why & browse the archives by clicking here.
So I didn’t watch the race live on Sunday. I watched it on Tivo on Monday. Figures that the one good race as of late is the one I didn’t get to watch as it happened. Still I got the gist, lots of pit road speeding penalties and Joey Logano put the moves on Mark Martin to get his first “real” win.
I know that this race was presented by #NASCAR but does that mean that they have to READ PEOPLES TWEETS OUT LOUD? Why!? I hated that. It’s like being in elementary school and having to listen to some kid read a passage from a book for the first time. It’s terrible and they need to not do that. ever. I’m totally fine with tweets scrolling by on the bottom of the screen not interrupting the TNT broadcast that I otherwise enjoy.
All I can think about right now is how I’m so super duper excited about the race at Sonoma next week, like, BEYOND, excited. I’ve got a lot to think about as it relates to this blog and I’m hoping that Sonoma (formerly Infineon Raceway, they’re working on getting a new sponsor since their deal with Infineon ended) will breed some new ideas.
