As mentioned in a previous post, my favorite NASCAR driver is Matt Kenseth.  With a Daytona win followed up by a California win this past weekend, I’m having a good year.  (WHY did I not enter a betting pool this year??)

In honor of Matt Kenseth, I propose true fan mania in the form of collecting all that is black and yellow and plastering the #17 on these items.  This is what the well-appointed outdoorsman will be sporting this NASCAR season:

1. Arbogast Hula Popper

2. Frabill Flo-troll Minnow Bucket

3. Malibu Kayaks X-13

4. Jig (www.custom-crappie-jigs.com)

5. Spyderco Tasman Salt knife

6. Garmin E-trex GPS

7. Frabill Magnum GT ice shelter

8. Grundens Rain Bibs

9. Black and yellow Clouser Minnow

10. Vans Era shoes

11. Ski-Doo Skandic WT

12. Abu Garcia Revo Reel

13. Mepps Black Fury spinners

14. Skeeter boat in custom colors

15. 2006 Roush F-150 Champion Edition

16. Piper J-3 Cub airplane

17. Sexy bee costume

You will see that the average NASCAR fan will not necessarily be able to afford all of these accoutrements. Piper Cubs were cheap when they were on the market, but are quite collectible now. $8,000 doesn’t just fall off trees for toys like snowmobiles (at least not in my spending climate). The F-150 Roush Edition would definitely break the bank for me. However, wheeled and winged things aside, I think I could afford to just possibly be the Best Matt Kenseth Fan Ever.

Now I’m scaring even myself. I dare Carl Edwards fans to come up with 99 duck-themed ways to honor their driver.
