My profile pics, Black Stone Cherry.
Hailing from Edmonton, a small town in south-central Kentucky, the Alternative-Rock four man band Black Stone Cherry was formed in mid-2001 when singer+guitarist Chris Robertson and drummer John Fred Young began playing together while they were still teenagers in high school, with guitarist Ben Wells and bassist John Lawton joining them soon afterward.
In July 2006, the quartet issued their debut self-titled CD on Roadrunner records; the albums release was prefaced by the smash single "Lonely Train" which peaked at No. 14 on the Hot Mainstream Rock chart and was followed by two more Album Rock Radio top 40 hits: "Hell and High Water" and "Rain Wizard". Black Stone Cherry, ended up at No. 90 on the Bill Board 200 ...

Back and (hopefully :D) better than ever!
Welcome, welcome one and all to the Jen Preston homepage on Bleacher Report!
Born and raised a die-hard NASCAR fan just outside KCMO, my dream is to become a NASCAR journalist, so I can spread the latest news to NASCAR fans everywhere! I am also a HUGE Denver Broncos, New York Yankees, and WWE fan, so you may see me venture off to those pages from time to time.
A proud graduate of the class of 2009 ('09 so fine!), I'm hoping to get the money to go to college- pretty sure on my choice (finally!)-to major in journalism and minor in public relations. Who knows, you could be reading my stuff on an even bigger stage someday. Attempting to get my career going, I'm on my high school newspaper's staff as a sports writer and am also in the sp...

9 - D-Boy
Writer bio
Just an auto mechanic from Ohio(you won't get me to be more specific than that! Bad past experiences have taught me to be careful about how much I reveal about myself) with a passion for racing.
My friends call me D-Boy, feel free to call me this as well if you'd like. There's an interesting story as to why I have a nickname ripped straight from an anime series, but I won't bother with telling it here. But suffice it to say, I was feared in high school, even though I wasn't a bully.
I once raced a 1999 Swift CART chassis in vintage formula racing, but will soon be switching to amateur-level sports prototypes, running a Chiron LMP3(after finding I liked its handling characteristics more than those of a Ligier JS49). My racing endeavors are mostly funded by my boss - very good man, ...

10 - Crabber 1967 .
Writer bio
First Cup race attended: the 1963 World 600. I'm on the Lower Peninsula of Virginia. My Dad built race cars for the local tracks (he was an owner/builder, not a driver) until I was about 4 years old. (Someone once told me many years later that Dad's 1950 Mercury street car was the "fastest car on the Peninsula!" All I know for sure is that Mom usually told Dad to 'slow down.') Dad and his brother-in-law decided that the idea of "if one is good, two are better" was NOT a good idea. Dad said one of the cars always seemed to be broken. So they sold all the racing cars and Mom and Dad bought the house I lived and grew up in. How I wound up joining Dad and his buddies for the 1963 World 600 is a story in itself; but from then on I usually was part of the crew heading to t...

I currently work at a tri-weekly newspaper in my home town — www.GalaxGazette.com — where I am a news reporter first and a sports reporter second... OK, I wish it were the other way around, but I cover news 40 hours a week and sports about 5.
I joined B/R in December 2008 to help get my articles and name out there even more. I run my own blog — http://sports101.today.com — where I have a chance to write about and say whatever I want to. I just started blogging in early December, and am hoping one day I'll be a NASCAR writer full-time...

I am a 31 year old male living in North Central Wisconsin. I enjoy watching the Packers, no matter how good or bad. We as a family also watch NASCAR. I have a wife and 2 boys, which makes Sunday a BLAST around here. I have a job in Internet Marketing and am an Assistant Chief of a volunteer fire department.
I started posting articles for Bleacher Report in the Green Bay Packers page, but did not really enjoy it as much as my first NASCAR article. Since than, I have been all NASCAR, and am having a blast!

Hi everybody, im Daniel. Just an everyday kid that happens to be huge motorsports fan, particularly in Australian V8 supercars, NASCAR and Formula1. Since i have been following motorsport when i was 10, i have grown to like all forms of motorsport, with the exception of a few.
Generally im interested in everything in motorsport in general, whether it be the technology or the tracks, they seem to fascinate me. Kinda guess i got some interest in writing for a future career, but thats a long way ahead of me as im only 13. So please excuse some minor mistakes and the quality of my writing, but i hope you can all sympathize.
Please feel free to comment and inform me where i can improve in my writing as that will only make my writing better then ever.
Feel free to leave a comment or ...
