More likely it would be winter. What's it like then? It was fall when I was there the one time.

It gets to what we consider cold. I like it. Its crazy because Bakersfield will be 60 70 or even 80 and then 30 minutes away you have Tehachapi and itll be snowing there. Haha.

Korn is technically from Oildale. I guess it still counts. I actually live in Bakersfield. Colby Lewis from the Rangers is also from here.

I thought Casey won a major race at one point, no? Indy 500, I thought. I don't know, I don't follow racing, but I certainly have heard his name on like Sportscenter.

Casey never won the Indy 500. He might have won something in Nascar but I wouldn't know that.

I crapped my pants at a Mexican restaurant named Bakersfield

Named Bakersfield...or in Bakersfield. Lots of itinerant Mexican farm workers in that area.

You're also missing the late Frank Gifford, graduate of Bakersfield High School. Also, Brent McClanahan, running back for the Vikes, who now teaches at South Bakersfield High.

I had his name written down when I looked it up. I must have forgotten to type it.

Rick Mears is the only one that should be considered famous. One of only 3 men to win the Indy 500 four times. Casey is his brother Roger's kid, but neither Roger or Casey have anywhere near the resume of Rick Mears.
