    Hoping I speak for men everywhere when I say: CanNOT get enough of Danica, win or lose. Seriously Chuckles, you work in the media and you are smart. I am sure you can figure out what’s going on.

    In the immortal words of my favorite singer Gretchen Wilson of Pocahontas, Illinois, you sir, are being “Politcally un-correct.”
    But I totally understand. Wataching Danica beats having to look at the likes of Dale Jr. or Jeff Gordon.

    I know, don’t mix metaphors or racing leagues. What can I say?

    I love Nascar. It’s my kind of race. So, here are the lyrics:

    I Love Nascar Lyrics
    Artist(Band):Cledus T. Judd

    We got owners, favorite drivers,
    Boy, that Tony Stewart’s a whiner.
    And we got rookies, advertisers,
    Like uhhh let’s say: Havoline, Target, Sharpie, Caterpillar, Nextel,
    Mountain Dew, Dupont, Lowe’s, Home Depot, Kodak, M&Ms, UPS, Tide, Alltel, Gillette, Kelloggs, Viagra, Dewalt, and uhhh Budweiser.
    But the trophy girls still have my favorite parts.
    Vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, I love NASCAR.

    We got cautions, we got pitstops,
    You can’t hear a dang thing once the flag drops.
    And poor Kyle Petty, an’ Swervin’ Marlin, ha ha,
    Are gonna find it tough to beat Mark Martin.
    ‘Cause that Viagra car is always driven hard.
    Vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, I love NASCAR.

    I love NASCAR, it’s my kind of race.
    Just watchin’ jeff gordon plow up a wall,
    Puts a smile on dale jr.’s face.
    No caviar, it’s beer and Mopar.
    Vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, I love NASCAR.

    I like short tracks, you’ll see more wrecks,
    And about a million screamin’ rednecks.
    And ol’ Jeff Burton, ha, an’ poor Mike Skinner,
    Well, they’ve done forgot what it’s like to be a winner.
    And Ken Schrader still ain’t sure who his sponsors are.
    Vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, I love NASCAR.

    “Hey, that was a close one up there fellas I about got into one there.
    I might pull over right up here next pitstop, I want you to get two right front tires.
    I need a wedge on the left side, get this windsheild cleaned, get on the gas.
    And if you don’t care, hand me a pair of underwear, I have messed all in my drawers.”

    I like football. (I like football.)
    I like my wrestlin’.
    I like a good game of air hockey,
    I like some ping-pong now an’ then.
    How about you, Toby?

    (Toby)
    I love NASCAR, it’s my kind of race.
    Just to see Big E back on the track,
    Would put a smile on every face.
    No one drove a car quite like Earnhardt.
    Vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, I love NASCAR.

    (Both)
    Vroom, vroom, vroom

    (Toby)
    Gentlemen, start your engines

    (Both)
    I love NASCAR.

    You are witty, Chuckles! Keep them coming!

    I believe we will be seeing this for a while. She’s beautiful and talented and everybody’s interested in her. It’s just like Tiger Woods and golf stories. He’s the lead whether he’s even in the tournament or not.

    I beg to differ. Tiger Woods is in the news all the time because Tiger is one of the greatest golfers of all time and when he completes his career in 15 or 20 years he will have won all the records.
    Danica needs to win a few races.
