I was in the USA Today, today! (friday)

[RutRoe]

So in the sports section today of the USA today, my name was mentioned because I am riding in a sidecar to the 6 TNT NASCAR races with Kyle Petty steering the motorcycle.

It didn't say much beyond that I was riding in the sidecar, but it was way cool for me. I doubt too many people read it or saw it, but if there's one lying around somewhere, give it a glance and support a fellow IA'er.

Or, you can follow me on Twitter and hear about some of the sidecar shenanigans.

Sorry to make a thread about this, but I thought it was pretty fun and I wanted to share it. Thanks

Rut

Awesome! I'll check out a copy if I happen to come across it. I always check your stuff out on Speed. Congrats!

[awestun]

that sounds awesome. How were you able to score that deal?

You got basically your own show on speed lol, I think thats more of an accomplishment than a blurb in the newspaper = P It's pretty cool when my father in law is talking about the guy with glasses on speed, and I can say ya I know him from IA lmao.

[Elbow]

Cool!

[SandM]

That's cool Rut, Breaking into new media is always exciting. Reminds me of the time I got my big TV break on America's Most Wanted...

Ha. That's funny... well, I don't like to seem like I'm trying to hype myself, but I've shared a lot of my personal milestones because I have a lot of friends on here and I want them to know what I'm doing and why I do what I do. I just thought it getting a shout out in the USA today was pretty neat since it's such a big paper.

Tomorrow will be a lot cooler when the stuff we shot is shown on the TNT Pre race coverage, and maybe the coolest thing of the weekend for me is that I get to interview Ryan Reynolds tomorrow on our big show, NASCAR Raceday.

YEah, that's right...Van Wilder baby. That movie changed my college experience :)

And Scooby, I threw the idea out to Kyle when we were brainstorming about fun stuff for the year and he called TNT and told them he wanted to do it and take me with him, and here we are.

Kyle Petty is without a doubt, one of the funniest, kindest, most loving person I have ever met. I'm really lucky to call him a friend, and the efforts he goes to in order to help sick children all over this country are truly amazing.

But, also, you should Tivo the show I'm on every week, NASCAR Smarts. It's a fun trivia show where I just basically get to be myself and have fun with Kyle and we each have a fan with us. Good times !

Thanks people
