All Together Now

If Brad was a Wizard of Oz character he would be Dorothy.  No, I’m not saying that he looks or acts like a girl, but since he already has a Heart, a Brain, and Courage I had to go with Dorothy.  Dorothy and Brad both have a dog (Todo and Tess).  Secondly, they both had a natural disaster effect their lives.  For Dorothy it was a Twister, for Brad it was a blown tire.  Even though they both faced (or face) challenges, they remained focused on their goal-for Dorothy it was the Ruby Slippers and Getting back to Kansas, for Brad it’s his second Sprint Cup (I doubt that he wants to go back to Kansas anytime soon.)   Finally, Dorothy faced her fears head on, even when those around her (ie:  The Cowardly Lion, The Tin Man, and The Scarecrow) doubted, she continued her journey and prevailed in the end by melting the Wicked Witch.  Brad, too, will keep on fighting his way back, despite those who say it’s not possible and will prevail by “melting” his competition at the Checkered Flag.
