Is Jack Roush really a Cards fan?

(Val) At the beginning of the World Series between the Tigers and the Cards, my former boss and I made a bet. He now lives in Detroit, and works for Roush Performance (part of the Roush Racing family) and our bet was pretty open. Whoever won had to send something representative of their area to the other. My thoughts ran the vein of how would I ever get away with shipping a case of Bud, and my hopes went to seeing a Roush Mustang pulling into my driveway. Ha!

Well, this afternoon my payoff arrived. In the mail was a big kraft envelope and inside was a Michigan magnet, a Mustang DVD and, drumroll....a card featuring the Roush Race cars, signed "To Val, Congrats Cardinals! Jack Roush." What a trip! I totally cracked up. This is definitely the best bet payoff I have ever received!

Thanks to my buddy JC in Detroit. Better luck next year with your Tigers....not! :)

I'm posting a photo of the card in my album so you should be able to see it soon.

As a huge NASCAR fan, I wanted to add a comment about Jack Roush. For my 40th birthday last month, my family and friends surprised me with full passes to the weekend races in KC. After watching NASCAR for numerous years on TV, it was an exhillerating experience to actually see and talk with all the drivers and car owners up close and in person. One of the many great experiences I had that weekend was meeting and talking with Jack Roush. He was extremely personable, friendly, and down to Earth. And to think he even wished me a "Happy Birthday"!.. After meeting and talking with almost every driver and owner (yes, I was the only crazy and obsessed fan that stood in Jeff Gordan's garage area for a full day instead of watching everyone on the track during practice Saturday), I can honestly say that Jack Roush was the most down to Earth person that weekend (second going to Richard Petty when he called me "Little Lady" when signing his autograph for me).
P.S. TV really does make the drivers appear taller than they really are...whoda thunk!!
