Getting to know Kim
Q. Why did you join the Official NASCAR Fan Council?
“I was impressed that NASCAR wanted to hear the opinions of the fans. Can’t think of another sport that cares so much about their fan base.”
Q. What comes to mind when you think of NASCAR? What’s your favorite NASCAR memory?
“Anticipation! I start getting excited two days before the race. My favorite memory is reaching the top of the grandstands at Charlotte in May of 2008 and seeing, hearing and feeling my first Cup car as it flew past me. It. Was. AWESOME! It cemented my love of the sport right then and there — the 2008 All-Star race was my very first race!”
Q: Do you have a favorite in any of the following categories?
Driver: “Kasey Kahne“
Track: “Sonoma“
Memorabilia: “I have an entire room devoted to NASCAR. As Kasey Kahne won the first two races I attended (2008 All-Star Race, 2009 Sonoma race), my favorite memorabilia are the framed photos from those events. Not to mention the photos I have with both Kasey and Kenny Francis (who I adore!).”
Q: If you could go to any NASCAR race/track, where would you go?
“I’ve been to Charlotte, Talladega and Sonoma. I’d like to make it to the Daytona 500 one day!”
Q: What do you like to do in your free time?
“I read, crochet and keep up on NASCAR gossip. I’m also a HUGE Doctor Who fan.”
Q: Tell us about your family. Do you have children and/or pets?
“I’ve been married to my husband, John, for 37 years. I have three adult children — Lillian is a teacher, Kendall is an attorney and my youngest, Rebecca, is an RN. Right now we have 6 cats and an elderly dog!”
Q: What’s your dream car?
“A Chevy truck!”
