NASCAR By Design - Introduction

   Summer:  A kid’s favorite time of year. You’re done with school for roughly 3 months, and it’s all about relaxing. Then after a few weeks, you reach a dilemma. If you’re the age of 14, you are too old to “play” like you use to, and too young to drive and go places. You can hang out with your friends some, but you know you can’t do that every day. So what do you do with all that spare time at home? It seems like even though you’re able to come up with a few things, you’re still faced with a block of boredom.

   A few weeks ago, that is what I was trying to figure out. I was pondering what I could do to curve the boredom of summer as it was coming faster and faster. I knew I would be watching NASCAR, my passion, and keeping up with the latest news on anything and everything about it. Maybe I could do an art project or two. Then my mom suggested starting a NASCAR blog. Perfect!!  

   So here I am, writing the introduction to NASCAR by Design. It will be a summer blog, to write my opinions on anything NASCAR and share stories of track experiences. With what we have already seen in NASCAR this spring, who knows what will be coming in the summer! That’s one thing I love about NASCAR, you never know what’s coming next.

   I fell in love with NASCAR at the age of 5, when I saw my dad watching it one Sunday. As those cars zoomed pass the camera, with the sound of the engine’s sweet roar, I was hooked. I continued watching, learning about the drivers, their numbers, and their teams. Around the age of 11, though, I began to watch it more in-depth, from the strategies and mechanics to the PR Reps and media personalities. It’s been my passion ever since. I gravitate to it, like by design, my thing was NASCAR. One day, when I am older, I would love to pursue my dream of working around NASCAR, as someone in the media or possibly public relations.

   For now, though, I hope that you enjoy this blog about NASCAR from a teen girl’s perspective, as much as I look forward to writing it. I will try my best to post a few entrees every week, and give my unbiased perspective on the hottest topics in NASCAR. I think this is going to be a great summer!

See ya soon,
