Any AudiogoNers Winston Cup fans?


Do any of you follow the NASCAR Winston Cup? Do you have any favorite driver? I've been following it over the last 10 or 12 years myself. Got into it while living for a short time in South Carolina in 1990 - 1991. Some friends took me to the tracks at Talladega and Darlington. Got into following Mark Martin. Watching the dance of a 200 mph traffic jam and pit stop strategy is pretty cool.

Oh yeah, big fan here! I'm kinda into anything with big-n-stupid tires!!

I go to 2-3 auto races a year.Sometimes NASCAR, sometimes sprint cars (wings are for wimps), sometimes Formula 1, sometimes AMA motorcycles.

Unlike the previous posters, I like Tony Stewart for his , uh, "passion"...!! I also like Dale Jarrett (nice guy), Ward Burton, Kenny Schrader and Jeremy Mayfield (am I the only JM fan). I used to like Michael Waltrip before he started winning. He was a funny guy...........

Enjoy,

I'm a fan of almost anything with a motor. Been watching racing since before I could drive. Watching NASCAR since the days of the King,and Buddy Baker. Forty-three cars doing 190 at the same time. And Drag Racing,what can I say, 320 in a Quarter Mile what a rush. Something about SPEED,just like good AUDIO.
I'm glad to see so many fans of racing of all kinds here.

Despite my previous post, I do like Tony Stewart. He does seem to have a self-destruct mechanism though. I only made the comment because I have been a Mark Martin fan for a long time and really wanted to see him win it all last year.

This thread could work in the "Guilty Pleasures" thread too. In my profession and in my other hobbies, it sometimes seems uncool to admit to being a Winston Cup fan.
Have been auto race fan since teenager (longer ago than any other member, am pretty sure) and at age 65 participated in the Richard Petty Racing Experience at Charlotte - 80 laps over 1.5 days. My top speed - 154 mph - acceptable for a geezer. Earnhardt's death was a big loss for me as I was a long-time fan. I like Taladega, Daytona, Charlotte, Rockingham, Bristol and dislike the newer tracks; a bit boring (curves less banked to accomodate indy cars). Always enjoyed radio growing up, but no audio level stuff....did not exist.
