It is funny how some things bother a person. I have touched on the subject of start and park entries recently, I have even managed to understand why a Joe Nemechek does it in order to help fund his Nationwide operation. I think it bush league, but I do not condemn the man for taking advantage of the rules in order to better do what he loves to do.

It was a beautiful day on November 5th, 2000. I remember that day very clearly. It was my FIRST ever NASCAR race. I was so excited. I was 8 years old and I had an obsession with rainbows, hence why I was a Jeff Gordon fan.
