I hadn't noticed that he threw his gloves into the burning car after that wreck.
Hee, yeah, it cracked me up when he did it. Quite honestly I still wonder if maybe he didn't realize that he'd actually finished the race at that point, and with a halfway decent finish no less. It kinda struck me as a move someone might make out of frustration for having been this close but not quite making it. And he did say in interviews later that the cockpit of the car was completely filled with sod and dirt, pinning him in the car, so I can only imagine how turned around and shaken up he must have been when he climbed out.
I hate how the media only wants to focus on a few drivers ever season
Yeah, it kinda drives me crazy. I've honestly stopped paying very much attention to the announcers, and just started to follow whoever happens to catch my eye. I will admit, since I started talking to you on LJ, I've been following Mikey quite a bit during the races. =D
Oh, and it really IS about having a favourite driver and following him that turns a casual fan into a dedicated one, isn't it!
Oh, totally! I think that's actually part of the reason I wanted to find one so badly. I wanted to be more than just a casual fan for once. I wanted to really get into it, but it's hard to do when you're not actively cheering for somebody. Honestly, if I hadn't started paying so much attention to Bowyer I highly doubt I would be as stoked about this season as I am, and I don't think it would have ever occurred to me to buy those tickets for my dad and I this summer =)
