I started really following FIL this year, so I've been cheering on Vision in both leagues. I love the twitter feed. It really makes it feel like it is "my" team when I know what is going on behind the scenes as well.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14417369814827583507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25142730.post-54898606597312706612009-08-30T19:19:04.043-07:002009-08-30T19:19:04.043-07:00You guys deserve every bit of the kudos. Although ...You guys deserve every bit of the kudos. Although I haven't been in a media center in a couple of years, I have spent my share of time in them. I remember meeting Pat briefly when she was working for Ganassi and I thought she did a great job there - but what you and she have done with Vision is simply on another level.<br /><br />Having done PR too, the way you have gotten your team engaged with the fans staggers me. One of the toughest parts of the gig, I thought, was trying to convince my driver and owner that fan engagement was more than a necessary evil. So what you've accomplished is definitely praiseworthy.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05236196120614330600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25142730.post-14608017101783789462009-08-30T19:00:30.153-07:002009-08-30T19:00:30.153-07:00Thanks to Tony for the kind words and great assess...Thanks to Tony for the kind words and great assessment. Much love to Jeff for giving him the space to do this sort of thing as well. Props to Bill Z too. <br /><br />I must say, I'm honored, humbled and very appreciative as a result of this. It's just so nice to be recognized every now and again...gives one the motivation and drive to keep pushing foward. <br /><br />Your piece is also a cause for celebration as it means that the things Pat and I are doing are being noticed and are working. That was the goal and we'll do our best to keep it up.<br /><br />I have to give thanks to Pat, my driver, Ed, team owners Tony, Laura and Lauren, and of course our team manager Keven Kaye and all of our crew. They are all willing to get behind these efforts and that's whats making it all go. <br /><br />Pat and I work with some pretty amazing people and partners too. In addition to you guys (our fellow bloggers) we also work along side some great members of the media, fellow team PR reps and of course, a great IRL staff. We also have a solid web partner in RACERSITES.COM.<br /><br />Sorry, I digress. I just felt like it was appropriate to give out some kudos to those who are deserving. <br /><br />Thanks again. This means a lot. <br /><br />MKButler Blue IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12949863820909161055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25142730.post-11683443340563671662009-08-30T17:54:37.024-07:002009-08-30T17:54:37.024-07:00Hear hear.

And other teams are starting to take notice. AND, I ran into a goodly amount of my fellow MyNameIsIRL.com fans at the tweet fest as well, so manly tears all around.pressdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14116626812974787639noreply@blogger.com
