While Matt Kenseth’s spotter has already gotten a tattoo to honor the Roush Fenway Racing team’s victory in last weekends Daytona 500, don’t expect the driver to follow suit. While Kenseth spent the past week touring various cities as part of a post-victory media blitz, Mike Calinoff decided to mark the occasion in a different way – and one that Kenseth actually unintentionally encouraged. Calinoff, who left Kenseth’s team a few years ago but returned as Kenseth’s spotter this season, celebrated the group’s 2003 championship in the same way. Calinoff said that the $250, multicolored tattoo took two hours and was painful to get put on, but that he is glad that he did it. “It was worth it,” he said.”I’d do it again tomorrow.” Calinoff admits that he could be the only spotter commemorating a big win in this way, but he doesn’t regret it at all.(Scene Daily)(2-21-2009)
