Are you pulling for the right driver?


A lot of people pooh pooh the importance of Astrology and the Zodiac in their lives, but many others place a lot of faith concerning what their birthdate and the time of day they were born have to do with determining the outcome of the decisions they make in their lives.

A very important part of this concerns one person’s compatibility toward another. If you take a look at some of the people in your life that you truly get along well with, I’m going to say that the odds are very high the Zodiac points out this should be the case, just as the Zodiac will show you who to steer clear of…

So, how do we know if our favorite driver is right for us according to the Zodiac signs?

The first tip-off concerns your sign's Element. Compare yours to that of the person you're interested in. Personally, I'm an Aries and as such Fire is my Element. Obviously, I'm going to have trouble with people born under the signs of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces (the signs associated with the Element Water). I wish I'd have known this prior to getting married... My EX-spouse is a Scorpio. (Yeah, I know)... So look at it initially in these terms. Does your element mix well with the person's you're considering? Fire signs like me are most compatible with other Fire sign people and Air Element sign people, fanning the flames so to speak.

Who are you most compatible with?

Here's a Compatibility Table that reduces this difficult comparison (considering all the possibilities) into a quick reference...


Here's the color explanation:

Okay... Let's take a look at this now.

Considering I'm an Aries, I should be pulling for one or more of the following Air Element people: Clint Bowyer, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Brad Keselowski, Joey Logano, Jamie McMurray; and/or the following Fire Element people: Kurt Busch, Carl Edwards, Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick, Kasey Kahne, Ryan Newman. Man! There's a bunch! It leads to another look at all this.

How many fire signs are represented among the 21 drivers listed above? 6 or 29% are Aries, Leo or Sagittarius. Check out the Secret Desires Fire people have... To be a star? To turn your dreams into reality? To lead the way ? Is it any wonder Fire Element people are driving race cars?

How many Air Element people that mix well with Fire Element people are there in the group of 21? 5 or 24% are Gemini, Aquarius and Libra. These people have Secret Desires like "To be ahead of the crowd" or "To be unique and original"...

Some interesting things here... Dale Earnhardt Jr's secret desire as a Libra Air Element? To live an easy, uncomplicated life… Man! Isn't that what we've been discussing all along?

Kyle Busch's negative qualities include obstinance, blind prejudice and lack of reason. I think we've seen this in some of his post-race comments.

Jeff Burton's secret desire is to feel safe? Maybe that's why he hangs back in the pack!


Kevin Harvick's negative qualities include recklessness, carelessness, lack of tact, rudeness and fickleness? Hmmm.

Finally, klvalus, your sign better be a Fire or Air Element considering what Dale Jr. and Kurt are. The same for you Athens, jon and CR considering Jamie and Joey are Air Elements while Kevin and Ryan are Fire Elements. Ms. Speed Beagle should be a Water Element sign (Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces) or one of the Earth Element signs (Taurus, Capricorn or Virgo) with Tony Stewart. tez, Gene, those same Earth and Water Element signs work for you with Marcos Ambrose and Kyle Busch... Am I forgeting anyone?

Looks like I'm rooting for the wrong guy... Sniff... Oh well, I guess I could switch to his older brother! HA!

My kinda guy!

  1. WOOT! I am a LEO!! Can you tell??
    Spot on Dwindy...but a bit skewed to the fire signs in this sport so it makes it easy on me anyway.

  2. Interesting stuff. I'm an Aries, married to a Pisces. hmmm.... and she's going on her 2nd trip to Europe in two weeks. Living her dreams, and turning fantasies into reality!

    Anyway, at least I know how to pick my favorite drivers, Harvick & Newman. I've always liked Tony, but maybe that was just because of the old saying, where there's smoke, there's fire? lol

    ReplyDelete
  3. Why do I have to get stuck with Jimmie and Juan? That's not fair.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Kristen for some reason I knew you were a fire brand... errr... sign! LOL

    Maybe that's why we seem to hit it off! It oughta be interesting next February in Daytona! Fire Signs Rule!

    Isn't that something about Jr.'s secret desire as a Libra?

    Did you happen to go back and look at Gene's latest post? Just curious...

    ReplyDelete
  5. CR you're a better man than me... I sure hope you and your significant other are happy!

    I'm just scraping the surface on this astrology stuff... I'm the son of a Leo father and a Sagittarius mother! An aries son? You talk about a firey existence! Then there's the time of day... I was born at 12:30 in the afternoon when the moon as I understand it was in Leo! Geez!

    So you're attracted to Smoke? Your relationship requires some adjustment! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  6. Thought I left a comment earlier... Hmmm

    Interesting thing... everyone wants to win... nobody wants to lose. LOL

    The most interesting thing I noticed is that Harvick and Newman have the same birthday. Are Jon and CR compatible with both? Maybe they'll get together for a round of golf?

    ReplyDelete
  7. tez... So you're a Virgo? An Earth Sign? Heck you've got several possibilities up there... Besides Marcos, JJ and JPM there's Greg Biffle, Jeff "I want to feel safe" Burton, Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, Matt Kenseth, David Reutimann and even Tony Stewart!

    Seems like you've got a whole stable of drivers to choose from! No reason to feel slighted...

    ReplyDelete
  8. Gene... You're not saying what sign you are. Silence is incriminating! LOL

    Let me guess... You're a... Awe heck, I can't do that. If you don't want to say that's all right.

    I will say I was sorely disappointed to find Kyle's an Earth sign! According to the chart our relationship requires some adjustment! LOL

    I didn't pick up on Newman and Harvick having the same birthday... CR claims he likes both of them. I wonder about jon...

    Thanks Gene!

    ReplyDelete
  9. Wow, I didn't pick up that Newman and Harvick have the same birthday. Interesting... Yes, Newman, Harvick, and Stewart have always been my three amigos. Used to get into it with anybody who dissesd them over on the Fox pages. lol, now I save my arguments for politics on MSNBC!

    ReplyDelete
  10. Come on Gene... you're not a man if you don't share your sign! lmao!!

    ReplyDelete
  11. I'm a Sagittarius. Maybe I should be pulling for Dale Jr?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Wow Gene! Another Fire Sign?

    Now if we can just get jon and Athens and SB to own up...

    Yep, Gene you're definitely a Dale Jr. kinda guy! LOL

    I'm willing to bet Kyle's moon sign is in Aries, Leo or Sagittarius! It just makes too much since based upon his driving style...

    ReplyDelete
  13. Well, SpeedBeagle is really Katie the Beagle(I'm just her extraordinarily gifted mind reader/typist). Katie's birthday is February 23rd which makes her a Pisces. so she and her favorite driver are harmonious(go ahead, Kristen, insert joke here).

    Jeffie G and Kurt also have the same birthday.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Hey SB!

    So you've got a Beagle that has humility, compassion, sensitivity, spiratual awareness, psychic comprehension, philosophic insight and healing potential? GEE!

    Looks like you're on the right driver! Isn't Tony a dog lover too? I googled it and it looks like he has a Chihuahua type dog... Here's a link:
    http://origin-sikids.ibs.aol.com/photos/19218/athletes-and-their-dogs/11

    Well... I had to go back through all the birthdates. So two pairs out of 21 total individuals have the same birthdays? That's something!

    Thanks alot!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Yep, all that and she has the good sense to howl like a banshee when she hears Chad Knaus speak(anyone who has ever heard that loud, wake the dead hound bay knows what I'm talking about).

    Tony's chihuahua is named Kaylie(her sister Lola belongs to Kevin and Delana Harvick). Tony also has cats and used to have a monkey(the monkey now lives at the Louisville Zoo).

  16. SB,

    When I was a kid I had a hunting Beagle... And yes, I named him Peanuts!

    Many a time I had him out running through the brambles and the bushes listening to that high pitched bay with only the white tip of his tail to be seen! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  17. Fire signs unite! =) I can only hope I embody more of the good parts of the Leo than the bad. Can't say the same for some of my drivers!

    Kinda funny I bet Jr is the only Libra in the garage, well maybe my beloved Sammy too...he is just too laid back to be a true racer. What's Kelley's birthday? She was supposedly the barn burner...

    Hmmm...maybe I should start reading the horoscopes before I pick my trifecta winners each week.

    PS - I dont even need to insert a joke there SB - its too easy!! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  18. I'm an Aries (April 16, as compared to Kahne's April 10th b-day.)--no wonder Kevin Harvick's my driver! Great analysis Dwindy!!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Kristen,

    Kelley Earnhardt's birthday is August 28... She's a Virgo! Earth Sign... Dale Sr. was a Taurus (another Earth Sign!) More driving style ammunition about Kyle and Dale Sr., both are Taurus...

    ReplyDelete
  20. Hey jon!

    I'm an Aries too born on April 17th! We are special people! LOL

    Without knowing Athens' sign there are five Lug Nuts Fire Sign people! Kristen's a Leo, Gene's Sagittarius and you, CR and I are all Aries!

    Wonder what that all means??? LOL

    Thanks jon!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Hey Dwindy, I am Aries, too, but I don't believe in that stuff. Has your birthday ever fell on Easter? Cool, huh?

    But.....a friend of mine talked me into one of those compatibility things on match.com or something when it was a "free" weekend, and these color things are one of the 29 dimensions of compatibility they use. I'm still single.lol

    ReplyDelete
  22. Hey Athens!

    Sounds like being married is a high priority. I'm single and happy as a little clam!

    So six out of the eight regulars here on Lug Nuts are fire signs? What's up with that?

    Thanks Athens!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I guess we're a bunch of red-hot lug nuts! lol

  24. December is such a special month of the year - quality time
    with family, exchanging gifts, and sumptuous food all month long.
    Besides, people who are drinking enough fluids is a day usually have clearer complexion so
    drink up. Another item to consider is to buy resistance
    bands, which help with stretching and yoga.

  26. Or maybe you look at it from a monetary standpoint and decide that
    Guy Ritchie and Madonna divorce was worse because
    they were married so long and have children and there is a lot of money involved.
    Talking of the walking dead, congratulations to Hugh Hefner, who is
    getting married at age 84 to 24-year-old beauty Crystal Harris.

  27. " Forum Threads " Blog Comments " Corporate Blogging " Social Network Profiles " Link Baiting. Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan had a rough battle, when the movies related to them were released at the same time. Every now and then, new stars emerge and disappear in the blink of an eye and every smallest detail about the same becomes important celebrity news.
