Why I am a fan of Red Bull Racing Team

Ok, I admit it, I was never into NASCAR, and I still do not go to events or regularly watch races on television.  Its neat though, I love the cars.   I bought some NASCAR trading cards and a few books that someday I may read and learn more about NASCAR.  That said, one day it occurred to me that I needed a team to support. I chose Red Bull Racing team.  I looked at all the racers and one jumped out at me on the list of racers.  Scott Speed driving then car 82.  I am not sure yet the reason, but Scott no longer races with Red Bull. But that said, I think it is Red Bull I was after.  I have affixed a number 83 Brian Vickers sticker to my right lower corner of my rear window on my vehicle.  I have actually decked out my ride to have a number of stickers including sports teams, my fraternity and my college.  It actually looks like a NASCAR vehicle at some proportion (though that was not my intent).  I meerly wanted to add to the culture by exciting people who may pass by with an interesting visual display.  Its clearly not abhorrent. But once in a while curious onlookers will inquire as to who might do such a thing.  When they see me the driver, they are greeted with an older fellow in his late 30s with a large beard. Probably a surprise I think.  Anyhow, I'm not an attention seeker, but I wanted to be different.  And my near 15 year old vehicle is nothing to consider a work of art, right?  Well now its a canvas.  And I am the painter.
