I want the nail-biting drama
Carolyn Brewster
Carolyn grew up an army brat. It is her personal mission to live up to all stereotypes of the obnoxious NASCAR fan and to raise her children to follow in her footsteps.
I know Jimmie Johnson fans are giddy with the anticipation of four back-to-back championships. Yawn!
Don’t get me wrong. I think Chad Knaus, Johnson’s Hendrick Motorsports crew chief, is absolutely brilliant and deserving of all the success he has earned, but again, yawn.
Last week’s setback for the team at Texas Motor Speedway, although painful for them, was absolutely thrilling for me. I want the championship to be determined by some sort of nail-biting drama in the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway instead of a foregone conclusion. Competition, people, competition.
As a fan, I’m realistic that JJ will more than likely do it again. But with the door slightly cracked, I’d love nothing more than for Mark Martin to walk through it. Give me a reason to want to watch the last few races, an out-and-out brawl for the title.
