Karen says "I am a 47 year old mother of 2 adult children and 1 teenager. I enjoy watching racing and going to them when I can, My first race was Bristol in 2004, Atlanta 2005, and Daytona 2007 and I go to the Nashville Speedway when the Busch and Trucks come.

I am just about a year survivor of breast cancer surgery that was done on the last day of August last year 2006 and that the reason I was unable to make a race in 2006 just did not have the strength but I was determined to go to Daytona 500 this year even though I had to miss a few treament of my radiation and I did have a good time even though it was cold.

I am a contest sweeper and enter most of the online and offline contest, I won a great trip to 2005 Pomona Ca NHRA Finals in which Power Ade was the sponsor of the contest. We stayed at the hotel where the drivers stayed at right next door to the NHRA Museum. We had access to every part of the track, even able to stand down at tent where the drivers were being introduced. I got the drivers autographs that I knew, so I do watch some of the NHRA racing also. My other favorite thing to do is playing fantasy sports games mostly racing but I do play some football golf and sometimes basketball fantasy games. Oh and the most important thing, Jeff Gordon is my favorite driver."
