Want to smell like a sweaty Dale Earnhardt, Jr.??

Found this great article and Christmas gift idea on MSNBC's website. Apparently NASCAR is going to start marketing and selling ... COLOGNE!!

"This week, the International Speedway Corp., the owner of the world-famous Daytona racing oval, along with perfume and beauty products maker Elizabeth Arden, announced they were giving the green flag to the Daytona 500 scent, the 'first sporting-event branded fragrance'. The Daytona 500 fragrance leverages the prestige and popularity of this premier sporting event to reach consumers and motorsports enthusiasts across the country," said Elizabeth Arden Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Scott Beattie. "We look forward to introducing this outstanding fragrance at the 48th annual Daytona 500."

Brian Tracey, who wrote the article, also said "the companies didn't give any detail as to what Daytona 500 actually smells like. Exhaust fumes with a note of burnt rubber? Budweiser and brake fluid?" The jokes here are endless. How about sun-warmed Keystone Light mixed with drops of sweat extracted from a soaking wet "Dixie Pride" tank top. Any more ideas as to what the scent could be?

Taryn, if you read this, all I have to say is "PLEASE!!!"
