Vote early, vote often

The All-Star Race is coming at us fast. OK, not just the All-Star, but the 5th annual Official Nascar Members Club convention and all the fun that goes along with it, including the almost ready to open Hall of Fame.

Did you vote on the first class in the HOF? I did. I still say the France folks should go in as a whole, not individually, but I digress. I voted for Junior Johnson and Big Bill Senior. The rest of my picks, well there’s always next year. I’ll be clicking that pick again for Tim Flock – another family group, actually, BP and DW, and most likely Richard Childress and Rick Hendrick.

We digress again. Back to the All-Star. Did you know if you are a Sprint customer and vote by texting, it counts DOUBLE?! Yessss! Get those fingers talking to Sprint.

My choices ? Let’s see. No particular order or reason: Marcos Ambrose and the chosen Juan for international flair. Robby Gordon just for potential sparks. Do you have a friendly pool on who’ll cause “The Big One” at certain tracks. We do. I always pick Robby Gordon. Although I’m adding Keselowski to that pool anymore. Back to choices.

Casey Mears, because he’s family of a gentleman at my church and local realtor Dave Mears. Mikey W just ‘cause my friends Laura and Roberta like him. I wonder if he can Tweet from the car? And my personal all-time favorite character. My buddy. BORIS! BORIS! BORIS! Who said? I Said!

And you can vote often – unlimited – up to one hour before the start of the race on May 22 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Good thing, too. We here in the Mountain State already have the reputation of voting ourselves, all our dead relatives and even the dog. You know that’s why we give our animals people names, right? So they can vote, too.

Already in the race are :
Kurt Busch, Kyle Busch, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon, Denny Hamlin, Kevin Harvick, Jimmie Johnson, Kasey Kahne (whoo!), Matt Kenseth, Brad Keselowski, Bobby Labonte, Joey Logano, Mark Martin, Jamie McMurray, Ryan Newman, David Reutimann, Tony Stewart (my man, Smoke!), Brian Vickers.

Alrighty then. Vote early. Vote often.
