Have you seen this guy?

This may or may not be a coincidence, but reader Jennifer seems to have stumbled on to a phenomenon I too have witnessed. In no way does it stereotype all fans of this particular driver, but it does seem that individuals who match this description seem to be cheering for the same dude.

Every year we go to the Nashville race … okay, so ever year we went to the IRL race. There is always “that guy” who stands up every time Tony Kanaan comes through the front straightaway. I mean, every time. Every single lap “That Guy” will stand and point and holler and root TK on in a near violent way. “That Guy” may even flip off the other drivers as they go by. “That Guy” may even turn around and try to get others to hoot and holler for TK. Well, this year there was more than one of them. There may have even been three in our area.



The photo has been provided by reader John in Nashville (I know - more readers named John) who has also been witness to this type of individual. And a monumental discovery like this demands it be plagiarized immortalized in song.

Bud Light Presents Real Men of Genius
(Real Men of Genius)

Today, we salute you, Mr. S**t-Faced Tony Kanaan Fan
(Mr. S**t-Faced Tony Kanaan Fan)
They say those who can't race have to take a seat.
Apparently those who can't sit proudly stand,
Intoxicated and shouting obscenities.
(Thats right, motherf****r)
Thanks to you,
Tony constantly receives vital race-winning encouragement
Like "Get around that b***h",
And "Out of the way, a**holes".
(Shout it out now)
Bud Light, check.
Cigarette, check.
Percentage of Tony’s winnings, no check.
(Beer ain’t FREEEEEE)
So here's to you, oh sultan of shouting.
We're all clear on who your favorite driver is,
But as long as you keep swearing at him,
We'll keep staring at you.
(Mr. Sh**-Faced Tony Kanaan Fan)
