About Horn »

What a display of sportsmanship by the greatest QB ever, NOT. To quote Coach Green in away, "We knew who he was, he did what we thought he would do and we'll never let him off the hook for this loss or his crappy attitude in losing."

"I hate to lose more than I love to win." - Jimmy Connors

I'm a avid auto racing fan, but only like the NCWTS in NASCAR, it's my favorite series these days and the series reminds me of old school NASCAR. I'm talking NASCAR 20+ years ago, like the mix of the young talent, with the wily veterans, the small teams and they put on the best show of the three top series.

Some of my articles have made zimbio.com, catchfence.com, jayski.com, ASK.com on various driver pages in all three series, dalyplanet.com, my tribute to the late Ron Hornaday Sr is posted on ronhornaday.com in his In Memory section, have a Austin Dillon article featured on teamdillonracing.com and had Joan Ren the wife of Rick Ren comment on my article about her husband.

But what I'm most proud about is that Brian Scott, one of the CWTS drivers, joined B/R to comment on a article I wrote about him and is a member of the truck community.

Truck Series: Horn, the One Armed Bandit (when he runs in the Trucks), Austin Dillon, & Johnny Sauter are my current four favorites drivers, along with Happy, Elliott & the GOAT. I also like Rick Crawford & James Buescher, J.R. Fitzpatrick, Timothy Peters, Justin Lofton, Chrissy Wallace, Gabi DiCarlo, Caitlin Shaw, Johnny Benson and Rowdy.

Nationwide: Brian Scott, Happy & KHI, Horn, Kelly Bires, Michael Annett, the Speeddemon & Justin Allgaier.

I also follow Austin Dillon, T-Mac, Bobby Labonte Racing in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, the Camping World East Series, NHRA, Indy Series, F1, Travis Pastrana, and Monster Trucks to follow the legendary Grave Digger.

I'm also a Chicago Bears fan, both Charles "Peanut" Tillman & Craig Steltz are my favorites of the current team. While NASCAR is my game on B/R, don't be deceived I really do know my NFL.

Always been a fan of the Under Dogs, can't help it back in 1992, the Underbird made me a believe.

I'm old school, my two other passions are reading Westerns, with a few Mystery/Thriller authors mixed in and listening to Music. Like anything from 80's Metal, to Blues, with a few Country artists mixed in, to Southern Rock , mostly older artists but do like these current artists Gov't Mule, Chickenfoot, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Shinedown and Black Stone Cherry.

Play a little harmonica, my beverages of choice are Miller High life & Keystone Light (Gotta support the official beer of the Camping World Truck Series.).

All my writing is dedicated to my Dad, miss you Pop.
