About Patti »

First things first, thank you for reading my work. I take a lot of pride in my writing and I work hard to give my best in every article. I wanted to thank you for reading.
Some fast facts about me:
Hometown: Chicago
College Student
Favorite Sport: NASCAR, Football, Baseball and Basketball
Best sports moment: MJ making "The Shot" against Cleveland... and Jeff Gordon tying the late, great Dale Earnhardt at PIR..what a moment...
The Worst Moments: Daytona 2001 and Moises Alou temper tantrum in 2003
Live Moments: Cubs/Cards with my mom..her first game..poured the whole time @ Wrigley but we stayed to it ended.
Chicagoland 2007..first NASCAR race attended went with my sister. Tony Stewart won!
Where else can you find me: www.fanhuddle.com, www.fanzonesports.com (starting Daytona 2010) and Foxsports community

I write two weekly series on Bleacher Report : NASCAR Sprint Cup weekly Winners and Losers and The Lugnut Report. I also try to contribute a weekly article.

I love this sport and I love writing. I am not a great writer but I work hard and I put a lot of effort into what I write.

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.

All I ask is that there is no name calIing, driver insults left on the stories. We all need to respect each other. It's okay to disagree on things and to voice that, but we need to respect each others views. So I don't want personal insults or attacks associated with my articles.

If you are a member and want to get in touch with me send me a message about something I wrote here on Bleacher Report. I am also on twitter so you can follow me @Patti_Rodisch

If your not a member please leave a note or email me at prodnascar@gmail.com

Thank you.
