Check out the NASCAR Dover Action Photos
Hi guys, well while you were rained out I covered the NASCAR Cup race at Dover. Truthfully, I missed not being about to cover NEETS, but I will return soon. I also did my coverage stuff and was lucky enough to be on the Nationwide Garage roof as Jory did his rolls. I got some good shots of that as well as Joey climbing out.... Check it out at www.motorsportsforum.com and find the "Monster Bites Joey Lagano" article. Looking ofr input from other drivers to do a follow up story, and get some info on safety concerns from those who get strapped in. Thanks.
By the way, Joey who's just 19 said it was the best ride he's ever had, but was concerned when it stopped on the driver's door and sat there for awhile before re-setting itself. That was the only scary moment for him. I believe I would have had been screaming the entire way...... but that's me.
A Racer is still into it for the love, no matter what.
I have found that when these types of drivers(NASCAR) race in other levels they are usually humble as can be and actually the love of racing returns and not the stress found at the level they race at.
There is always trash talk going on, but a point well made about presenting somethings in a professional manner. In most cases these drivers were in the right place at the right time and got to NASCAR with some luck added to their talent. In reality though we all talk a good game, but if Rowdy ran a NEETS race, each and everyone of the NEETS drivers would be proud to race side by side and not make themselves look like a hazzard on the road.
I do not have a total favorite driver in NASCAR, but there are a few who I have a hard time talking with as they are not easy to deal with in that venue, but away from the track I have not found one driver to be a stuffed shirt, but real down to earth types of people, just like the drivers I have met at NEETS. I am just as excited to cover a NEETS race as I am to cover NASCAR, and I'd bet, just for the shear fun of it a NASCAR driver would love to try it once. And each one of you would love to see that and to be involved in that race also.
