Patti's Bio

Well thanks for checking out my Bleacher Report page.Just a quick bio on myself; I am 23 and journalism major. I love NASCAR, in fact if you ask anyone who knows me it's all I talk about. My dream interview would be Jeff Gordon, Richard Petty and Raymond Parks.

Here is a little about why I write for B/R. I want to get better at my writing. I will never be perfect at this but I sure want to try to be. I have always wanted to be a writer, I have always wanted to do something important to be a voice for one person or for 1000 people. Yes, readers counts and comments are important to a certain extent. I want you to read my work because I can bring you a different angle.

I have learned one thing recently, that as a writer it is my responsibility to tell you the whole story. That I can't be afraid to say what I think, even if you disagree with me. I won't always write what you want to read, but I am honest and I will always make sure my work is backed up with facts or stats.

I write about NASCAR. I will try other sports but my "expertise" ( I guess you can call it that) is NASCAR. When I write I hope you as a reader can sense my passion and enjoyment and down right obsession sometimes.

I am first and foremost a fan. But I also am a writer and to be quite honest were all fans first and without that passion and excitement that makes us fans of our favorite sports then I guess we shouldn't be here.

    A call to arms! A great idea from a great writer...b/r is all about giving back, and as Zander has said more than once..."sense of community". Please give this a read and please post your thoughts and comments!

    If you’re looking for artistic poetry, if your looking for a sentimental heart tugging emotional piece, and even if your looking for A deep rooted commentary on life…

    You won’t find it here!

    I'm taking a look at my favorite sports team from a slightly different angle:

    Hey Patti! I bet you're excited for today's race at Sonoma. Here's hoping JG wins it today! ;)

    Ever had music and sports associated together like a great dish and drink? Hopefully, I made the same correlation with NASCAR and music.

    That's why it's there. Free info, essentially. If you had to source it, you'd see it in about every website's weekend preview and post-race story.

    I realize that Glenn and I share a lot of the same fans, so I apologize if you get a double post, but this is a great article that deserves a read. Just a shame that gems like this get buried sometimes.
