Top Ten Ways to Pass Time During the Offseason
Frontstretch Top Ten · Kim DeHaven · Wednesday November 29, 2006
10. Celebrate all the holidays you missed throughout the racing season… like your wedding anniversary and spouse’s birthday.
9. Christmas IS coming, so drink enough spiked Egg Nog that you lose track of time. It’ll be Feburary before you know it!
8. Memorize your children’s names. Remember, practice makes perfect!
7. Put in a few extra hours each week at work. The overtime pay will help you afford your favorite driver’s new gear.
6. Write angry letters to Brian France and Mike Helton.
5. Head to a Nextel Cup team’s shop in Mooresville. If you squint really hard at the cars through the glass of the viewing area, they almost look like they are making laps.
4. Take a road trip! Make a conscious effort not to draft other cars, perform a bump and run, or clip a palm tree while entering your condo complex.
3. Lobby your state representative to sponsor / support a bill to make the Monday following the Daytona 500 a Federal holiday.
2. Wander aimlessly around Lowe’s for hours signing “We are the Champions” repeatedly until security escorts you out. Thanks, Mistie!
1. Keep reading the Frontstretch! We’ll keep you entertained, at least when your boss isn’t looking.
Do you want the chance to win a free Frontstretch T-Shirt, and are you really good at talking about NASCAR? Well, we have the perfect opportunity for you. Our staff will be giving away a free T-Shirt to the reader who makes the best post in our Frontstretch Forum between now and the end of the season. So, what makes a good post? It’s pretty hard to impress us, but here are some things we are looking for:
Does your post spark passionate reactions from other readers? Are you commenting on meaningful NASCAR-related events? Do your posts have substance? In other words, “Dale Jr. is the best driver ever” or “Danica Patrick is hot” will not cut it.
So go to the Frontstretch Forums, post early, post often, and post well! We’ll announce the winner following the final race of the season at Homestead.
