_Attention, NASCAR fans… welcome to Throwback Thursday! Every week, from now until the start of the 2013 season we’ll be giving you, our readers the favorite stories we treasure from our writers over the past few seasons. Today we focus on Amy Henderson, a former NMPA Award Winner and one of the site’s Managing Editors who shares some pieces near and dear to her heart._
_From Amy: I chose this piece because, well, ’tis the season, and even though it’s a little dated (it was, after all, written in 2006!), it brings back memories of races, rivalries, commercials, and sponsors past, and it still makes me laugh out loud. It’s also interesting to see, all these years later how much has changed in the sport … and how much has stayed the same._
*10.* A deadly combo of the mullet and the porn ‘stache become mandatory for all of 2013.
*9.* Must hold Brad Keselowski’s cell phone during every race.
*8.* Ordered to become Kurt Busch’s emergency public relations representative, hired for inappropriate / crisis situations only.
*10.* An errant pass thrown by Dallas Cowboys’ Tony Romo. How can a team with so much talent be so bad?!
*9.* A late-race case of the “whineys” from Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch over Brad Keselowski’s restarts.
*8.* A real sense of apathy by fans, as evidenced by the available seating in the stands.
