A drivers life
Body: A racecar drivers life, it may take you two minutes to read this, but if you do not take the time to read this you are one of the people this post is talking about.
You stay up for 16 hours
He's been for 24 straight working to go racing for nothing.
_________________________
You take a warm shower to help you wake up.
The thrill of hearing that engine roar keeps him up.
__________________________
You complain of a "headache", and call in sick.
He's chilled to the bone, hasnt eaten all day, has the flu, and then races his heart out for nothing.
__________________________
You drink your coffee on your way to the mall.
He drives 15 hours to the next track drinking a coke to stay awake.
__________________________
You make sure you're cell phone is in your pocket.
He makes sure he has enough change for a pay phone along the way.
__________________________
You talk trash about your "buddies" that aren't with you.
He watches his buddy get hurt every other night.
__________________________
You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls.
He walks back to the trailor after tearing up his car.
_________________________
You complain about how hot it is.
He wears 30 pounds of gear in the middle of July and climbs in a 140 degree racecar.
__________________________
You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your order wrong.
He hasnt seen a meal since the waffle house at three in the morning 2 nights ago.
__________________________
Your maid makes your bed and washes your clothes.
Hes worn the same stinking, wet, grungy clothes for the past 24 hours....no time for a shower.
__________________________
You go to the mall and get your hair redone.
He ties his hair up in his helmet.
__________________________
You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over.
He has to travel 500 miles in the middle of the night with a torn up racecar just for 2 thousand dollars...if he wins.
__________________________
You call your girlfriend and set a date for tonight.
He calls his girlfriend to tell her he will be home sunday night/monday morning and not to worry.
__________________________
You yell and scream at the raedy truck and trailor that just past you beacuse they slowed you down.
He's the only person in the truck,and has no crew,trying to make it thru the night to put food on the table for his family.
__________________________
You roll your eyes as a baby cries.
He cries as he hears his wife is in labor and he is 300 miles from home.
__________________________
You criticize your local drivers and say their nothing but dumbass rednecks anyways.
He puts his life on the line just to entertain a crowd of 2,500 people.
__________________________
You hear the jokes about fallen drivers and say they should have known better.
He knows that one inch to close to the next car and it could result in death.
__________________________
You see the bright lights when you go by.
He sees the heartbreak,blood,sweat,and tears put into this sport.
__________________________
You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don't.
He looks into buying a 30 thousand dollar racecar because he trashed his two nights ago,but he doesnt even have $500 in his bank account.
__________________________
You stay at home and watch TV.
He takes his spare time to wash the racecar at a local carwash in some unknown town, fix anyhting broke on the car in a hotel parking lot and maybe call his mother to tell her not to worry, he'll be home in a couple of night.
__________________________
You crawl into your soft bed, with down pillows, and get comfortable.
He tries to sleep in his truck but keeps getting woken up by the teenager messing with his truck, ahh, one hour of sleep, it should due till tommorow night.
__________________________
You sit there and judge him, saying the that its a waste of money to go around in circles.
But its not the money. It's the thrill of victory,the agony of defeat, the only way to make money for his family so they can eat. Seeing the smile on his son's face after he had a horrible night but his son still thinks he is the best. It's the fans that cheer for him durring driver introductions. He's scared to death that he may never see his family again,as he kisses his wife before he climbs in the car. All that just to put a smile on your face,because he is an entertainer.
