The Lineup: Father’s Day, Part 2
Nicole Briscoe
NASCAR Countdown and NASCAR Now host
“I know everyone thinks their father is the best, but I’m pretty sure mine actually is. He (and my mom) gave me all the obvious things: unconditional love, support, honesty and instilled in me the importance of respect and working hard. But having a dad like mine? It is a gift. I had the confidence to follow my dreams, the ability to stick it out when it might have been easier to walk away, and a backbone of support. Because while I may have doubted myself a million times along the way, he (they) never did. I can also thank dad for my love of sports. Daddy/daughter trips to the ballpark. That one painful (for me), trying (for him) summer when he spent HOURS helping me break my own hitting slump. “Nicole, quit pulling your head!” And of course, the Sunday ritual: Green Bay Packers games. All of who I am is because of my dad, and I’m one very happy, very loved, very fortunate ‘daddy’s little girl’.”
