A Recap So Far

    This year has already been a busy one. I have had the opportunity now at 19 years old then the normal teenager would have. I am Famous Aimee and this is a mild recap of my journey so far.
    Starting in October of last year I went to my first race in Martinsville, Virginia. This is where I started my learning experience and my passion for racing came about. I had the chance to meet several people and to see how media worked. Instantly, I was hooked and later came a running start to an awesome experience in racing.
     I have a huge interest in the Pass South Series, and have been focusing on racing in that branch recently. Thankfully, I have had huge help with Robyn Snell with catching me up and teaching me racing slang, and vocabulary. In this business, you cannot help but ask many questions, and that is the only way we will learn. I have learnt about the spotter, and how he/she is the main eyes for the driver. The spotter talks back and forth to the driver trying to judge the best move which may not always be the right one. The crew  spends all hours when they can working and trying to figure new ways to fix, or improve the car for a better win every race. Although the driver drives the race car to the finish line, it is not always about the glorification of he/she but is all members of the crew. The driver did not just win, the crew did as well.
    My job for races is to make live updates on twitter about whats going on, how all the drivers are doing, the weather, or maybe even if a race has gotten cancelled. I stay well away from drama, and hammers that may have been thrown at other drivers. I update everything including yellow caution flags, and how many cars are in the buildup in a crash. I start out with fastest qualifying times, and write a top 10 on who will start. I also will include the redraw if any driver moves up a position or vice verse. I then move on to the meet and greet and choose who I will focus on during that race. Once meet and greet is all done, drivers are then told to line up. From this point, I am in the media box, headphones on, and ready to race. I do not exaggerate anything and will refrain from posting anything derogatory.
 Next season will be a huge for Brandon Ward Racing as he has many great plans for the upcoming year. Please stay tuned as another blog will be posted on Brandon soon, what a great year so far and so much I have already learnt!
