The Legend & Jeff Gilder Finally Have Their Answer
Current NASCAR
Ever since she burst forth on the stock car scene with all the publicity and cheesy marketing stunts NASCAR could muster, Tim Leeming and Jeff Gilder have been dying to know what Danica Patrick carries in her purse.
No more sleepless nights for The Legend or the North Myrtle Beach Media Magnate... now they can know what young Ricky Stenhouse already knows about the cougar... or is it Honey Badger?
Seems Danica has come clean with US Weekly Magazin e .
Here you go, Tim & Jeff!
DANICA PATRICK POURS OUT HER PURSE FOR US WEEKLY
August 28, 2014, Taylor Starer , NASCAR.com
Patrick's numerous products allow her to be prepared for anything
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Danica Patrick recently poured out her purse for the latest issue of Us Weekly , and some of her bag's contents may surprise you.
For instance, did you know the No. 10 Stewart-Haas Racing driver can't eat wheat, gluten, dairy, eggs and yeast? (SuperDave Editor's Note... bet she don't eat vienna sausage, sardines or bologna burgers either) . Talk about a strict diet. Patrick relies on Lrabars for an extra energy boost during crazy race weekends. (OMG... does Piggly Wiggly in Columbia or North Myrtle Beach carry Larabars?)
Ever notice Patrick's signature aviator sunglasses she always sports at the track? That's just another accessory that spilled out of her Reed Krakoff shoulder bag.
"Aviator sunglasses fit my face really well, so I like to stick to that shape," Patrick told the magazine. "I always wear my Revo pair with mirrored lenses, and I even designed a Revo line available at Sunglass Hut." (Yeah, you'll never catch her wearing STP sunglasses!)
Hear that, Danica fans? Coming fall 2014 you could be sporting a pair from the Danica Patrick Collection.
Like most women, Patrick is prepared for anything and the contents of her bag reflect that.
"I don't have a desk job -- I spend at least four nights a week away from home," Patrick explained. "So I have to be prepared with all the essentials: nail clippers, Tylenol, Tums, tampons, floss. I'm ready for anything." (What, no Goody's Headache Powders?)
Along with all of those goodies, Patrick keeps a black Sharpie handy because you never know when you might bump into a fan who wants something signed, and a pen just won't do. (Well, we know where to send her if she needs autograph lessons, dont we?)

Jeff Droke's theory about the multiple incorrect dates would seem to make sense.

Hey, Chase... my wife to be (in '73) was wearing white lace up boots in 1971 that looked like something Ric Flair, Johnny Weaver or one of the other North Carolina "Professional" rasslers might have sported in the ring. That's her 1st row, far right in photo below!

Since Nashville's John Jay Hooker (fer Gov) didn't become Chairman of STP until 1973, should we "assume" that The King playfully slapped Ms. Jett's thigh with an STP sticker in his hand?
Richard Petty Receives "Good Guy" Award at American Legion's Charlotte National Convention
General
While it was President Barack Obama who disrupted Charlotte traffic Tuesday with a two hour visit to the Queen City to address The American Legion National Convention here, Monday's Charlotte Convention activities proved far more popular with the Legionnaires when "The King" - Richard Petty was named the recipient of the annual "Good Guy Award."

Praised for his patriotism and his service to the community, NASCAR Hall of Famer The King Richard Petty was presented The American Legions James V. Day Good Guy Award during the The 96th Annual American Legion National Convention today.
Richard Petty is so much more than just a former race driver and now current team owner, American Legion National Commander Daniel M. Dellinger said during an award luncheon held in Pettys honor at the Westin Charlotte by The American Legion Past Department Commanders Club. He is a great American, who is always giving back to the community. By donating his land, and more importantly, his time, to Victory Junction, Richard has helped chronically ill children receive life-changing camping experiences.
He and his son Kyle have helped educate young people about the safe use of automobile lifts, and he has donated time to Civitan International. Richard Petty Motorsports has also supported paralyzed veterans. The NASCAR culture is often praised for its patriotism. Well, its no coincidence that Richard Petty is The King of NASCAR.
Its an honor to be recognized by the American Legion, Petty said. Ive also felt it was important to do my best to give back to the community and to those in need. Its just something small we do to help out and hopefully make peoples lives better or make them feel good. Its humbling to be rewarded for it.
The James V. Day Good Guy Award is named after a World War II veteran and prominent Legionnaire. Recent recipients include former boxing great George Foreman, performer Dolly Parton, MLB Commissioner Bud Selig and former NBA star David Robinson.

Better Reserve Your Labor Day Weekend Tables Now for 2015
Stock Car Racing History
Excerpt from a 2009 Ed Hinton story in ESPN: The Magazine:
Couldn't leave Darlington without stopping by the Raceway Grill, home of the best hamburger steak (smothered in onions and melted cheese) in the Eastern time zone. And french fries cut from fresh potatoes.

Stock Car Racing History
By the way, both the Raceway Grill and Darlington Raceway are located on Harry Byrd Highway - NOT Strom Thurmond Highway. The highway is named for the late Harry Flood Byrd, Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia from 1926-1930 and United States Senator representing Virginia for 33 years from 1933-1965. The last winner of the Southern 500 during Byrd's tenure was Ned Jarrett in the Bondy Long Ford, sponsored appropriately by Virginia's Richmond Ford Motor Company!
Since there have always been more Virginia license plates on the Darlington Raceway grounds than any other state, it seems only appropriate that the highway passing by it be named for Virginia's most revered U.S. Senator. Sorry, South Carolinians.
