Jason’s Journey: Practice Makes Perfect

Posted on by

JasonJourneylogo400x300The old saying of ‘practice makes perfect’ has worn off as time has passed. The saying means little to many and some just ignore it. For me, this saying is motivation. It has inspired me to write and its inspiring me to write this right now. Because, it’s so true. Practice makes perfect.

Currently in the internship I’m doing, we’re basically on an off few weeks so our job is to keep practicing. Practice recaps, interviews, and writing in general. For me, that’s not a real assignment since that’s what I do every week anyways. Continue reading →

JasonJourneylogo400x300The magical tour I took of the Charlotte Motor Speedway a few weeks ago still has lasting memories.  I was so inspired by the media center, that I want to write about it this week.

There I was walking down the aisle, seeing the computer plug-ins and the interview desk. Thinking that I could be here in five years from now, writing, talking, and living my dream.

No one has done it since 1982; that is until this past weekend. Sweeping both Daytona races in the same season, Jimmie Johnson broke a 30-year dry spell Saturday night with his win in the Coke Zero 400. Johnson was up front all night and held off his competitors each time they challenged him for the lead. The race was classic Daytona with carnage and nail-biting racing throughout the evening. Restrictor-plate racing doesn’t get any better and this race proved Daytona night racing is fun to watch.
