The Talladega Take-Off: Why Ryan Newman's Crash Is Good for NASCAR
11/07/2009
I'm just your average NASCAR lovin' outspoken Southern Girl! A misplaced Texan living on the outskirts of Washington DC. I'm a Paramedic who moonlights as a Sportswriter and along with Kelly Crandall, co-lead the NASCAR Community here at Bleacher Report.
I'm a daredevil with a sharp, quick wit. A tomboy at heart. Opinionated, yet open minded. Strong-willed, but know when not to take things too seriously. I'm a Super Hero who is light-hearted enough to laugh at myself.
I was raised by proud Southern parents who instilled generations of family values and traditions that have shaped me into a unique combination of elegance, brawn and brains. I've got a big, kind heart, but please don't mistake my kindness for weakness, I am one tough chick wrapped in the body of a true Southern Belle, living the good life one race at a time!
I am a bit of an "acquired taste," a bit irreverent, a little loud, a whole lotta funny and an all around equal opportunity offender!
My writing may not be your thing and that's okay. All I ask is for you to have an open mind. Have a read and give me your thoughts. Hopefully, at the very least, I can put a smile on your face for a minute or two.
Many thanks to those of you in the B/R community who chose my articles "Are NASCAR Drivers True Athletes?," "N is for NASCAR and The NFL," "Lisa Horne is Right!," "Life's Not Fair, Deal With It!" and "NASCAR's Female Fans: We're Just Like You, Only Prettier" as Articles of the Day. I am sincerely humbled!
Special thanks to my crew in the NASCAR community for choosing "NASCAR and Me: A Love Story" as most enjoyable article of 2008, that one truly means the most!
Much love to the NASCAR Community, you guys are true talent!
If you need anything at all, please do not hesitate to ask. I will do my very best to make the wrongs right & find the answers that you seek.
Hit me up at karamartin@bleacherreport.com, shoot me a private message, or post to my bulletin board.
I work odd overnight hours in the ER, but I will get back to you as soon as the sun comes up!
Hi there! I never want to bother you ..just asking you to take a look at this crazy stuff

Hey Kara,
In the off season in tennis, I tried to highlight a problem in modern tennis coupled with a bit of history. Hope you can give it a read. Thanks!

Beware, my dear Kara. And don't be surprised if the brass doesn't try and bastardize the NASCAR community.

Kara,
Here's the first installment in a two-part series Mr. Leroy Watson and I have put together. Take a look to find a little bit about Russell.
Leroy and I have worked very hard on this, so we'd appreciate a comment for feedback purposes as well.
