A Different Look at Bristol - Lady in Black

by: PattyKay Lilley

Just a note here to all my gentle readers...this is another column borrowed from the pages of time. Because I've been spending much time these last few days working on a special surprise for all of you, which will be unveiled soon, I'm giving the stage for this one to the Lady in Black... minus ten years.

What follows appeared on the pages of a site called Maclouridees.com following the Bristol night race of ten years ago. Like the last one, this is Vintage LIB, before most of you even knew she or I existed.

Well folks, she’s back, rather like that proverbial bad penny. Of course, I’m speaking of the Lady in Black, that sometimes not so lovable reporter of all things NASCAR.  As I caution readers each time she makes an appearance, please remember, it’s all in fun.  The Lady gets a bit irreverent at times, so expect that, relax and enjoy her unique style of humor.

Good day race fans. This is your raving reporter, The Lady in Black, reporting from underneath the big red trailer at Bristol Motor Speedway, in the aftermath of the war waged here on Saturday night. I've decided to stay right here until the NASCAR Mafia is through slapping wrists. If we're lucky, they'll be done in time for Darlington, the track they named after me.
