Well, about a year ago I started this blog primarily to keep my parents informed about where I was at and what I was up to. Kind of a behind the scenes of the work I do for SPEED Channel. I also planned for it to be the last year that I did that. Obviously, those plans have changed. I am back at it again this year. My parents taught me long ago that I shouldn't voluntarily leave a paying job if I don't have another one to go to...and I didn't have another one to go to. I do have a couple of show ideas in the works, but it's not a paying job yet.
I'm here in Daytona during FanFest. It used to be a time when the NASCAR drivers would have a chance to practice, but during the fall of '08, NASCAR said it was canceling the 2009 testing as a cost saving measure. I was booked to do about 18 days of testing so some cost was saved on my pay....grrrrr. But no complaints. I have been more blessed than I could imagine.
We are doing some programs dealing primarily with the changes going on...teams have merged, drivers have changed teams or numbers, some teams have condensed or folded all together.
Most people across this nation are cold right now, but it is sunny and 55 degrees here today, so I am happy.
