Has your spouse or significant other ever done anything regarding racing to really aggravate you?!

Mine has. Being from Richmond, VA, I pulled hard for local driver Lennie Pond to win the 1973 Winston Cup Rookie of the Year award. Just to spite me, my wife to be (in Nov. 1973) intentionally pulled for Darrell Waltrip to win that 1973 title, without knowing anything at all about DW. I thought DW had a big mouth, but my wife to be pronounced him the "sexiest driver alive!" Well, Lennie was selected over DW by a NASCAR "panel" as 1973 Rookie of the Year and in 1988 my wife pronounced DW no longer the sexiest driver alive after she met Hershel McGriff for the first time! Aint wives aggravating?!

Lol...I'm amazed that the "wife-to-be" in 73 was in fact the wife you mentioned in 88. For some....pickin ol DW may have been the end of any "wife-to-be" situation. Congrats on your fortitude to withstand all that and continue with the marriage.
