The NASCAR Kid
May 5, 2008 by Shelly
Bump went to his first car race ever this past weekend - The Lipton 250 at Richmond International Raceway - part of the Nationwide Series (or as Bump says…Serious) which is a NASCAR race. He also got to enjoy qualifying for the event and for the Crown Royal 400 (the big boys) race on Saturday.
He got to see his favorite racer….
A year ago, we didn’t even know their names. But one day, at Kmart, he saw a red car pez dispenser and his life (and ours changed forever.)
He thinks of all of them as “his guys.” But his favorites are Kasey Kahne, Kyle Busch (who wouldn’t like a guy with M&Ms on his car?), Tony Stewart, Junior and Bobby Labonte. He is so cute when he says Juan Pablo Montoya or Patrick Carpatier or AJ Allmindinger. He knows them all. He named them all off for my husband as they went through.
And my drivers? Kevin Harvick who drives the “Shell” car #29 (my birthday) and Jeff Burton (born the same day as me.) We like our drivers for weird reasons…
