NASCAR's Biggest Fan – Girl of the Week | Ron Ripple

Alright all my fellow NASCAR fans, now is the time to get recognized.  I was contacted this week by a National Network looking for the Biggest NASCAR Fans that will be attending the Daytona 500.  Now I know I’m NASCAR’s biggest fan, but I know there are a lot of  you out there who are just as big a fans, but just don’t have a blog to claim the spot.  Well now is your chance.

A national network is casting a national ad campaign to promote NASCAR’s “Nationwide” Series.  Each fan chosen will be featured in your own 30 second spot; explaining what you’ve done to show your devotion to your favorite driver that’s above and beyond the normal.  (If you’re a Jeff Gordon Fan, and you painted your room pink, then please don’t respond to this, because that’s not out of the norm)

You must be an adult, 18 – 55, man or woman, and of course, a FANATIC! Once chosen, the director and a film crew will interview you at the Daytona International Speedway in February.

Now I know a lot of you fellow NASCAR fans might be afraid of cameras, but let me tell you from personal experience that there’s nothing to be afraid of.  Just make sure you do what I do when ever I hear there’s going to be a camera around…. throw down a six pack of Bud Lite and pretend like you’re standing in the winners circle naked.  It works every time!

So, if you are a true die-hard in some way and IDEALLY have a story you’d like to share, these guys want you!  Make sure you contact me at ron @ ronripple dot com and I’ll make sure you get signed up.  Time is a wasting and this is an urgent deal, so make sure you contact me soon, because casting is right around the corner.

This Saturday is the 24th running of the All Star race at the Lowe’s Motor Speedway, and all I can say is… “Damn I’m excited.” To me, this is a race where champions get together and show each other what they’ve got. I think we’re going to see the typical domination by Carl Edwards, Kyle Busch and of course we’ll probably see Dale Earnhardt up there in the hunt… but it’s a chance for everyone to battle it out and earn a HUGE income for the year.

The All Star race is an interesting race to say the least… anyone has a chance to win it because every 25 laps they allow the drivers to pit and make changes to the car such as fuel, tires, and standard chassis adjustments. Once they’ve made the adjustments they restart the cars in the order in which they finished the previous segment. They do this a total of three times and then the last 25 laps is “Do or Die.” Only one car can win, and that winner will receive a purse of over $1,000,000. Now you tell me, this isn’t going to be a crazy race.

In my opinion… I believe we’re going to see some different sides to a lot of these drivers. We can all agree that Tony Stewart is going to be doing his standard “bumping his way up through the pack” as well as Kyle Busch’s “driving like Dale Earnhardt Sr.” But if I were to be a betting man, I would have to once again pick Carl Edwards to be up there in the front… and then my second pick would have to go to Denny Hamlin.  Carl Edwards has been the guy to beat this year along with Kyle Busch, he’s got the drive to win and of course the kid has been practicing his back flips, so I’ve got to give him that.  Denny Hamlin on the other hand has kind of been like Burton… the silent but deadly driver who stays out of the controversy and doesn’t make a big scene.  Those are the guys you need to be afraid of… ALWAYS in the hunt.

Let’s make this Post a “Who’s your pick?”

The winner will get a “Ron Ripple” T-shirt…

You only get one pick, so make sure you do your homework.

Below is a list of the Driver’s eligible for this race:
