Dear Jeff Gordon,

We regret to inform you that our daughter has a new favorite racer.  Yes, Lightning McQueen won hands down.  Although Rust-eze and Dupont both provide a flashy red car, trying to mimick “ka-chow” provides hours and hours of entertainment (even when it comes out as “touchdown”).  Not to mention birthday cakes with your car on them are not as easy to come by.  There is some consolation though, Adam will still be cheering you on at the Daytona 500 in February.  (I’m jumping on the Jimmy Johnson band wagon.)
