Vlogiando: I’m a Latina NASCAR Fan
Ed. Note: Please click the headline to see the video
By Yolanda Mason
I still remember like it was yesterday when my now husband faxed me a copy of the tickets for our first date: It was the last NASCAR Winston Cup race at Homestead!
At that time, I had no idea what I was getting into… NASCAR and golf are the two events my husband enjoys and I have learned to like them because, after all, marriage is a team, right?
I still enjoy watching the confused faces on my family, friends and acquaintances when I tell them I am a NASCAR fan. They look at me like I am talking about aliens. Y ni hablar when we try to watch a race while visiting Puerto Rico!
Nowadays, I know about a few stats and rules, met a few drivers, have visited a few tracks and am comfortable talking “NASCAR” although my hope is to be able to do so with many more Latinos.
I guess my husband is right, I’m getting a little country, after all.
Yoly Mason is a Latina blogger. You can find her most of the time working at her couponing blog Cuponeando or vlogging on her personal blog YNR Live, which she does with her Southerner husband.

I love your video Yoly even though I don’t have a clue about Nascar. :) My husband doesn’t care for it so I didn’t have to learn about it. I admire you for learning because he likes it. I’ve learned a little bit about planes because that’s what my husband loves.
May your driver do well1

Go Yoly!!!!
I’ve never been in a race car track, but for sure I will put it on my list. And who knows, maybe I’ll enter Nascar world in the future, my 6 years old keeps saying he will be a race car driver (libreme Dios!!!) LOL

This cracks me up…It’s like being Cuban and Vegetarian! How can it be!? LOL
However, my husband has been to many races (for his job) and he tells me I would love the races for the color and characters. Un Dia and with Ear Plugs!
Carrie, my family thinks just like you :) I think you’ll enjoy it for the same reasons…
Jendi and Silvia thanks for stopping by!

[...] Twitter conversation with Yoly. The cubana from Miami told me she didn’t like NASCAR (as the Yoly from Cuponeando does), but she loves chisme, bochinche and tiki tiki, si! [...]
