GETTING TO KNOW LYNDA
Q. Why did you join the Official NASCAR Fan Council?

Q. What comes to mind when you think of NASCAR? What’s your favorite NASCAR memory?
A: “Not only do I enjoy the sport, I like the technology, aerodynamics, car set ups, mechanics and strategy of the races.
Favorite memory: My first race that I attended. Martinsville spring race 2007. I got Denny Hamlin's autograph, and it was an awesome battle between Johnson and Gordon, with Denny bringing it home in 3rd.”
Q: Do you have a favorite in any of the following categories?
A. Driver: “Denny Hamlin
A. Track: “Martinsville”
A. Memorabilia: “We had pit road passes to Bristol in 2010 my husband got Dale Jr’s autograph on his ticket, he was so happy.”
Q: If you could go to any NASCAR race/track, where would you go?
A: "I've been to so many, I guess I would like to go to Las Vegas”
Q: Tell us about your family. Do you have children and/or pets?
A: “Two gorgeous daughters, one at Texas State in grad school, the other lives in Blacksburg, Va., with her husband and my three-year-old grandson. Three cats and a 14-year-old beagle named Tramp.”
Q: What do you like to do in your free time?
A: “Go to NASCAR races of course. Travel to visit my family, church-related activities, gardening, cooking, canning.”
Q: What’s your dream car?
A: “I used to always say that I wanted a convertible BMW, but now I think something like a '67 or '68 Mustang Fastback, like the one the movie 'Bullet.'”
