Another side of Cindy McCain

ESPN recently aired a surprising interview with Cindy McCain where you learned of McCain’s passion for fast cars and how this passion helped her overcome her 2004 stroke.

In the interview you’ll see that over the past several years Cindy McCain has become a passionate drift car racer.

Drifting is a high-skill, high-powered motorsport that calls for drivers to control a 450hp car while it slides sideways through a marked course.  It is similar to rally racing, but is done on a closed course and judged on execution and style rather than who finishes the course in the fastest time.

US News and World Report also noted Cindy’s car passion in a small blog entry under their “Washington Wispers” section.   In this small post a wonderful illustration was supplied by Joe Ciardiello and is shown below.

Sara Palin apparently jogs 7-10 miles per day and Cindy has completed a half marathon.  Todd Palin is a champion snowmobile racer.  The McCain-Palin ticket is a team on the move.
