So...am I the only NASCAR fan roaming these boards?

Gotcha covered, chief!

My driver is Juan Pablo Montoya, #42. I'm Colombian (1st-generation American, technically) like him. Met him once at an Indycar autograph session a few years back. I used to pull for the NASCAR Pontiac drivers, but Pontiac pulled out years ago. Richard Petty is my all-time favorite driver- 7 championships, 200 career wins, and a former Pontiac Grand Prix racer- you can't top that. Not yet, anyway.

I still follow Bobby Labonte from his Pontiac days, and the other old-school drivers like Mark Martin. I also like Carl Edwards and that Joey Logano kid w/ the Home Depot car. I bet he doesn't even shave yet...

Yeah, Mark Martin has been my favorite driver since I started watching in 1998. Maybe because he was having his career year then, and I just kinda bandwagoned. At the time I didn't know much about the sport, but as I learned I got more appreciation for the drivers and crews. They really do have to be in hell of a shape. Since Mark has "retired" I fully support the Busch brothers. But now that Mark's at it again full-time, I kinda drifted back toward him. It was great seeing him win at Phoenix. It's been a long time.

I love Jeff Gordon & Tony Stewart. I also like the Fox analysts.

And I love the fact there's prayers before the race.

Yeah, DW and Larry Mac are cool. I don't really like any other commentators...

The only thing I watch before the race is

GENTLEMEN, START YOUR ENGINES!!!
