I grew up in S.GA and now live in N. AL but my in-laws are from Indiana, so I understand the accent thing. I also grew up around stock car racing. I've read David Poole's work before. He was a great sports writer and will be greatly missed. I read that Rick Hendrick is honoring David by marking his four cars with blue decals and the initials 'DP' on each one. There's nothing like good ole southern cooking to cure what ails you as my grandmother used to say. I bet that chicken and rice recipe is great! Feel better soon! I’m from The South also.

I'm a huge NASCAR person myself and I'm often teased by the fact that I feel this strange connection with NASCAR people I've never met. But I do feel like they're "my people." We have this shared love and commraderie that only someone else who loves the sport understands. As for the accent...I grew up in Southern Ohio, right where WV, KY and OH all meet. Growing up, I didn't have a great Southern accent. I spoke hick. When I moved to Arizona I spent years trying to rid myself of that accent! Then I moved to NC and it all came rushing back. I've since given up, I am what I am. LOL I had no idea he’d passed away!

I live near Richmond, Va. so I am lucky to be able to attend the two races that are held here every year. The closest one being this Saturday at RIR. I hope that a moment of silence will be offered in tribute to a great voice in Nascar. I am also a big Nascar fan and am sorry to hear of the passing of David Poole.

I was drug in by my hubby Chris. He took me to my first actual race here at Texas Motor Speedway back in the beginning of the month. It was fun and we had a great time. I don't know anything about Mr David Poole, but that doesn't make the grief any less for those in the NASCAR world. It is sad that he is gone and so suddenly but his words will live forever in the minds of those who read his works and heard his voice. (C) I watch NASCAR. I was drug in by my hubby Chris.

It's sad and I don't think it's ever a bad thing for us to reflect and remember what is most important in life. As for comforting. I turn to food (I wish it was only an extra 10lbs) and movies. If I'm watching Mary Poppins when my husband comes home he knows I either had a really bad day or someone died. But it really does depend on the mood because my other go-to movies are Practical Magic, Wanted and The Matrix. That probably tells people more about my personality than I want them to know. And as a Native Texan, I understand the accent thing. I've finally embraced mine and it's actually opened a few doors for me. :-) I’m sorry about David too.
