Let's say I'm a little lonely, hypothetically of course. I hang around racetracks and go about my business, but I come home to an empty apartment.
Remember, this is hypothetical.
Nevertheless, there are a lot of single race fans out there, race fans who may want to find that special someone with a similar passion. If you're into online dating, big sites like eHarmony and Match.com don't have any exact criteria for one Jeff Gordon fan looking for another.
For those looking to find romance at a race, Steve Agins has created a special place for that special someone. Meetmeattheraces.com, which debuted in February, welcomes those single, lonely race fans who want the love of their life to share in the real love of their life.
"This has been something I've been thinking about for a long time," Agins said. "You go to Daytona and there's 168,000 devoted motorsport lovers there, and you don't know who to talk to.
"I wanted to find a like-minded woman who enjoyed what I enjoyed."
Agins said the completely free service has attracted about 100 members so far without any advertising. On Monday, he'll start a marketing campaign with hopes of gaining a few thousand more members by the end of summer.
Instead of focusing on typical personality traits, meetmeattheraces.com asks profile questions about what kind of motorsports each member favors and what NASCAR races they will be attending.
"NASCAR says there are 75 million fans, and half of them are single at any given time," Agins said. "We're looking for the diehards."
Since I am going to the NASCAR races in Darlington, S.C., next month and have an extra ticket, I decided to give this site a try.
"Some people say I look like Kyle Busch, but that's not right," I wrote in my summary. "I'm better looking, and he has approximately $20 million more than I do. I guess it's about a push."
Almost instantly, I had 14 matches. Fantastic. Could my new love be just a click away?
Maybe not.
Seven of my 14 matches were over 35 years old, so they were officially out of the running. Christa in Alabama doesn't have children but likes to dance and ride roller coasters - two things I'm not really down with. Opieli88 in Maryland seems to be a big Dale Earnhardt fan and likes to travel - for the record, I love to travel - but she has four kids.
Then I saw jessy4luv, and I was in love already. We're the same age and we both enjoy traveling, especially to NASCAR races. Be still my heart.
Her summary just said, "I love u," 33 times. Of course, that's how many cars start the Indianapolis 500 every year.
But open-wheel racing really isn't my thing. And she's from New York. My family would kill me.
