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 As of February 20, 2015 this blog is no longer active.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.
This past week was the Sprint Media Tour in Charlotte, which meant that the NASCAR media corps got to ask the same questions they always ask, hope someone gives an interesting answer (Tony Stewart stepped up), eat free food and get free stuff. So of course I’m annoyed I couldn’t go — because of the free food & swag, obviously — but what can you do. 🙂 The gallery below are photos from the week that was.
The more I look at Kasey Kahne’s hair the more it’s growing on me, I think I like it! Also, on Friday Danica Patrick and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. confirmed that they’re indeed dating each other. I have no comment, at this time.
🙂
Oh and Jimmie Johnson agrees with me on the same questions dealie:
