A Husker fan as well......as a NASCAR fan!


Believe it or not...I am as much....OK maybe not as much.....OK maybe so....of a Nebraska Cornhusker fan as I am a race fan. I have almost the same reaction to a Nebraska football game as I do a good race. I am not sure I am willing to admit how much I love to hear the ole Nebraska fight song compared to the ole sound of a race engine....or the smell of football food compared to the smell of racing food. OK so it really is hard for me to chose which I love more...and THANK GOD I don't have to. The good news is.......I have gotten and will have in this week.....my first Bristol night race, Dirtrack Dave racin at US 30 Speedway, Driver Dave racin at the Nebraska state fair and a Nebraska football game!

Let the Bristol pictures continue.....





Boys must be boys and play. It was hard to Control Ron, Brian and Pat when they saw this mini race track. It was boys gone wild. While everyone else was crashing, Ron was surprising good at this......in reverse.

The last Bristol Picture for tonight..........


After the last two days on the road traveling home from Bristol, I am tired, my rear end hurts and I am sick of eating out. I have treated myself to everything I am not suppose to drink, eat or do.....so it is now time to regroup and while I am working tomorrow, I will be fondly remembering our trip to Bristol 2006. Ron & Kristin Stock, Dave & Rhonda Anson, Pat Shannahan & Brian Souba.





These are the some of my first looks at the Bristol Motorspeedway. I was the most excited Midwest race girl on the east coast. I have a new love.....and this is it! Too bad I had to take these thru the windo of the van.......

The good news/Bad News....

The good news is.............I LOVE THE BRISTOL MOTORSPEEDWAY! The bad news.........I am home from the Bristol Motorspeedway, vacation & race complete....now for some pictures....

The guys started the trip off right, with a toast to a safe, fun and exciting trip. We were all treated to a breakfast made for us by Ron and Pat......it was yummy. Thank you for letting the women rest.

For most this does not mean a hill of beans...........

But I had to do this for our company newsletter so here it is. It will not mean much to anyone except some of those who are the nearest to me but here it goes......

Name: Kristin K Stock

Job Title: Co-Owner, Corporation secretary & Auction Clerk and (as a select few call me) the go to girl…………..

Office (Columbus, Spalding, SE, Broken Bow): The back of the auction topper, who many lovingly refer to it as the popemobile.

# of Years with Stocks: 16 give or take

Hobbies: NASCAR racing, scrapbooking, photography, dirt track racing, bowling, pool and Nebraska sports

Family: My one and only Ronnie boy! My Mom, Gloria Boschen. My brothers and sister-in-law Larry & Barb Boschen & George Boschen. Also, my nieces and nephews Seth Boschen, Alicia Boschen, Jessica Boschen, Sheldon Boschen & Cassidy Boschen. My in laws Ray and Julianne Stock, Mark & Kris Stock, Todd & Susie Nordeen, Cindi & Michael Romero, Keri Ann Schumacher, Amy & Tim Nelson & Angie & John Landauer. And my nieces and nephews Daniel, Andrea & Eric Stock; Mikenzie, Sydney & Clayton Nordeen; Alexis & Curtis Romero; Kaitlyn, Taylor & Erica Roan, Simon & Joel Schumacher, Grant & Garrett Nelson, & Julia Landauer. Add in all my wonderful friends and of course everyone at Stock Realty & Auction Co. and my special in cognito family Dave, Rhonda & Jacob Anson.


A couple other questions that I thought of you don’t have to answer though:

Best Memory at Stocks: Beside Marrying Ron Stock…I would have to say that would be Ben Kobza’s auction by Bellwood, Nebraska, way back when. In addition, I would have to say having the pleasure of getting to know and having the late Jim Hemmer be a part of this company and my life, I gained more than I knew from him and I am so grateful he was here for me.




If you were to change Stock’s Classic Color of Yellow what color would you change it too and why: Red. Because I look really good in red.




And any other information you would like our customers to know: I love to clerk, but please do talk to the clerk. She really is a nice, sweet, loveable girl, but can not be bothered when she is working. You are all such wonderful, beautiful and lovely people, but I just can’t talk to you when I am doing my job. I take my job very seriously, and I thank my former bosses who gave me days off to come clerk, you were right, that is what made much such a great employee……….

Let the countdown begin!!

It is only a day and a half until we leave for the NASCAR race at Bristol. I am so ready! I am So outta here! I have wanted to go the Night race for years and years and this just has to rock! I am so thrilled my friends Rhonda and Dave are going with us. I get to hog my friends for six days....no sharing :) Bristol is a dream come true for me and I can't wait to post all the great pictures I take right here :) !!
