How long have you been a fan
Late 2002

How did your interest in racing start
I had a high school classmate that I came to work for in 2001 and he was a huge fan. When he talked about racing it sparked the interest so I checked it out. I have been hooked ever since!!!

Who was your first favorite driver
I did not have a fave so to speak at first I was just trying to learn the rules...Then the # 48 showed up with a man driving it who I watched carefully. He carries himself in a respectful manner that I thought was so wonderful in a sport that is known for it's rough and tough drivers.

Who is your current favorite driver
# 48 Jimmie Johnson

If you had three hours to spend with your favorite driver, what would you do
I would just like to set and have a cold glass of tea and hear his life story from him. Just get to know the man behind the number 48. Plus I would love to meet Chad with him to see how they interact together cause they seem like a awesome team.

What is your most memorable moment in racing
I have to say it has changed this year. When Carl Edwards won last week and he had no clue Jimmie was on his tail. The interview in the winner's circle was priceless like a Mastercard moment... Don't ever count the #48 out down....

How many races do you attend each year
I am a single mom and have never gotten to go to a real NASCAR Cup race. A friend of mine invited me down to the Truck race at Texas Motor Speedway on Oct 31st since they had a ticket given to them. I got to see some of the drivers for the first time and the trailers...I was like a kid in a candy store but I did not get to see Jimmie. Maybe someday I will get to go to a real cup race...

What is your favorite track
Texas Motor Speedway cause it is the only track I can dream of ever attending a Cup race at.

If you worked in racing, what job would you do
Wow, I would love to be the gopher for the #48 team; Need some water, soda or food...I am your girl...just tell me what you want and I will get it for you...I would be too scared to touch the car for fear I would mess it up but I could handle the gopher job real well...

If you were in charge of NASCAR, what would you change
Since I am not in the know about the whats and whys that NASCAR goes through to put on race I can't say I would change a thing. If I was in charge though I would just try to make it as fair as possible always.
