Mr. 3rd Place Group: Advanced Members Posts: 537 Joined: 24-December 03 From: Rindge, NH Member No.: 32	I was reading one of those 10-question interviews with Boris on NASCAR dot com. Instead of racing 45 weekends a year, with many overseas, he now has an office for his NASCAR team 2 minutes from his home, spends more time with his son. QUOTE 10. What have you learned about yourself in the last year? Said: Since my son was born, I think I've really re-prioritized my life. Before, the only thing that was important to me was trying to race, trying to race, trying to race -- as many races as I could. And now, everything I do is more for my family. I try to earn more money and try to be better at racing, hopefully to give my son opportunities that I never had. Can't blame the guy for going for the money. As for JPM and Danica, NASCAR has a big push toward "diversity", one time headed my Magic Johnson (no kidding). That is probably sweetening the deal for these two as well.

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) Like I have said before......I am SO VERY TIRED of hearing "you can't blame the guy for going for the money...." You hear it when high school kids go pro in the NBA even though most of them aren't ready physically, mentally, emotionnally, etc......what has it done for the sport.....not much IMHO....I don't watch the NBA any more because it is full of guys more concerned about image and money than "the game".....every other sport has its own similar story.... That is why a once avid sports guy like me barely watches pro sports at all any more....I watch Hockey...and it is heading that way quickly.... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) ....and I watch college.....but we all know the crap that goes on there "in the name of money"..... Can I blame Boris....hell no....(his kid is cute by the way....a true mini-Boris)....but I don't like it......nor will I ever..... Of course, if NASCAR offered me 10% of what most of those guys make I would be putting on a drivers suit 24/7 like the biggest goof there and "talkin' the talk" real quick......
