Yeah, and of course that's going to be biased and I'm certain wasn't released without Gordon, Hendrick Motorsports, and NASCAR reviewing it first

I don't know, like I said I haven't met him. He never seems to be around when I'm at a race. And I've heard mixed things. I would love to meet him of course...provided his wife is there too

LOL...I'm not sure I want you to meet him.
It's like what I said before, I like being a silent and distant fan. If he's a prick, then it would tarnish my view of him. Hard to imagine him as a prick though...he had rave reviews from everyone on SNL for his guest appearence there.

I've learned over time from working in sports as a career to separate the athlete from the person. Some of my favorite players have become my least favorite people and vice versa. It used to bother me, but then I said to myself why should it? I'm not looking to these guys for guidance or support? I have my dad, my brother, my mom, sister-in-law, etc. for that.

It's only natural though...it's hard to route for an asshole. (ie: Bonds)
