Wow you two reminded me of two old men sitting on a porch getting drunking arguing over the best fishing lure.

Anyways I used to watch the race all the time. However the races grew boring quick, unless it was a short track. I like drag racing.

Those pictures in your attachments reminds me of my brother and I...

His favorite driver is Kevin Harvick....my favorite driver is Earnhardt Jr.....

we dont necessarily feud with each other about it, rather we just joke about each others favorite drivers misfortune.

But its kind of ironic, considering I have bought the race car that he and my family have put together, and he has bought my fathers race car....

same class so if we were racing now would be racing against each other every saturday night at Shadybowl Speedway in DeGraff Ohio...He isnt racing right now because he works seven days a week, and im not racing because after buying the race car i cannot afford the money it takes to supply the race car with tires, gasoline, and the money it costs to race the car(although we get payed for the places we finish in the races each week, I would only be able to be ahead if I finish significantly well in the feature events-- and I just dont have the money to put up right now to take that chance-- although im getting closer to my Rookie season)

My brother won Rookie of the year 2 years ago when he started, and considering my drive to always "one up him", I am looking forward to the day I actually start.

Right now he is thinking about selling his race car, due in large part to him working seven days a week, so that he can buy Quarter midgets for his son....Quarter Midgets are race cars for ages about 5-10. I dont really feel bad about it because it gives me relief in knowing that if something happens and we were to tangle up and wreck each other, theyre will be no love lost....although i think once both of our experience levels were to our liking, I think I would enjoy competing against him...and also my father...he races the same class as well(But hes a known veteran around southwestern Ohio so competing against him is like Earnhardt Jr. competing against Sr.....experience level is completely one sided.)

My car is the second one...the first car is my fathers old car that he has sold to my brother....the picture is one of my father winning with what is now my brothers car.

My oldest brother of the two is our crew chief and to be honest we wouldnt be where we are today without him....building the fastest cars anywhere in the world in reference to each specific track the cars are actually made for.

Reason I ask, is because everyones enthusiasm changes when they actually attend a live race....

I never really liked watching Nascar on television growing up, but I always looked forward to going to the race track. And even more so when my father got back into racing again after sacrificing the sport he practically lives on a daily basis to raise us all as a family. I still love going to the tracks as my fathers race car(now my brothers) is the fastest car at Kil-Kare Speedway in Southwestern Ohio. Im looking forward to my first race, although, everyone whom Ive talked to about it, says they practically throw up from the nervousness, but after you drop the fear its cool.....and thats what i plan to be.

Earnhardt Sr. is my orginal fav.. Jr is my favorite now.. & he is easy on the eyes. I grew up going to nascar races with my cousins.. I love them. I wanted to drive for a while but it really isn't for girls. It's a guy thing.

Kevin Harvick is a good racer.. I have grown to like him.

Gorden just sucks period!

[G-man]

I try to lately, as I have an ol' buddy whom I grew up with, who races... plus I do some work for him, on occasion. I always try and attend in Richmond and in Indy... when I can.
I realise after missing all three Nascar questions on the Forum Garden Trivia quiz, that I know very little regarding who's who..., though. I just haven't gotten into the sport that much, really. It's good to see that it's really catching on in recent years, though.

If I ever get to the U.S.A. I want to & will go to Daytona (spelling?)

That is one of my wishes
