And he took scissors to his crew member's beard. That poor guy it's been about a year since he shaved. I wonder if that crew member will do that again. Has anyone heard of other crew members doing something like this until their driver won?

I haven't heard of any other Nascar team member doing this. I've heard of it in other sports. That takes some courage to make a commitment like that. I suppose one could always make some excuse and back out, like "I became allergic to my own hair" or "My wife said she would leave me if I didn't shave." I personally wouldn't make that kind of commitment.

The second excuse is probably more believable than the first. I am not sure I would make that kind of commitment either

lolol I'm not allergic but there is that certian stage when it's growing out that I am not overly fond of, those few days that it's more like sand paper and prickally. For that matter I have only seen my hubby without his mustach twice.

I agree, the second is more believable. I threw in the first for humor, and because I have a sister-in-law who claimed she was allergic to her husband's hair. So he had to shave off his beard. So it is not as unreasonable of an excuse as some might think. A person could even use both excuses - My wife is allergic to my beard and she said she would leave me if I didn't shave it off. lol.

I know that Tony Stewart doesn't shave before a race ,not sure if it's some kind of superstition or not? I also know that Kyle Petty hasn't cut his hair for years because of an accident that he was involved in many years ago .It has been so long now that i have forgotten the exact statement by Kyle but I think it won't get cut until he wins another race.

Good thing Kyle's hair doesn't grow as fast as mine. I am pretty sure if I heard recent stats right, the Coke 600 was his first top 5 in 10 years. As for Tony I think it depends on the mood he is in or if his sponsors are at the track

I know that many pro tennis players will not shave during a tournament. I'm not sure if it is because of superstition or as a convenience so they can concentrate and not be distracted by things like shaving.

Kasey Kahne - Nascar driver Kasey Kahne
Actually, I am going to post a link for you all to read. There is alot more bets going on with hair than you think. I love it, it is interesting to see these people we love make the same kind of wagers good friends would make. Check it out. http://www.nascar.com/2007/news/headlines/cup/06/19/hair.today.gone.tomorrow/index.html I was glad to see Carl win also. My man Kasey just hasn't had a good season. They reference him in that article too.

Yeah, Mayfield looked pretty funny. Have you seen Kahne's new commercials for that vitamin water. They are pretty funny, but maybe he should work on his luck a little more. I hope he gets things figured out soon. Last summer when I went to the California Speedway, I am hopig he can do it again. I am going and would love to see that.

i have never heard of this kind of thing before. But, I think it is cool that Carl finally won a race, and that the spotter can now shave his face what a blessing. I am disappointed that my driver had a bad day yesterday, but am glad to see that one of his teammates won the race.

Though I am not a Ford fan I am also glad that Carl won, he is one of those drivers that is hard not to like. Now that poor guy's face will probably itch for weeks after not shaving for so long :)
