I'm not ashamed so I don't have to confess!......

I LOVE NASCAR.....and I'm a proud Nascar fan!!!

I live in southern Virginia just 20 minutes or so from the Martinsville Speedway! We've
been to alot of the tracks and the sport (and yes, it IS a sport) is so much fun to
watch! I watch every Sunday (or Saturday night~~looking forward to Richmond tonight)!
I am a treasurer at church and have to take care of the money from the collection
plate on Sundays. I never knew I could count so fast! But....I zip out of
church on race days! I was leaving one Sunday and someone yelled to me,
"Drive it like you stole it!". I turned around and it was my pastor! He knows
how much I love racing!

So--I admit it---

I LOVE NASCAR and Dale Jr!

GO #8
((But bless his heart, he has had some problems this year!))

I'm a huge Nascar fan as well.

We live about 20 minutes from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and have awesome seats to the Brickyard-they are right across from Victory Circle and about 20 yards behind the main flagstand/yard of bricks.

Smile Nascar

My husband and I both watch the Busch and Nextel series. I root for Dale Jarrett and Dale Jr.
I enjoy it.

I'm jealous!! That's the next track we would love to go to! We have all these short
tracks and smaller tracks around us (not complaining!..there are quite a few tracks
w/in driving distance) but I would absolutely love to go to a superspeedway!

Waiting at home w/the rain delay for Richmond right now though! Looks like we will be
watching the Richmond night race tomorrow during the day!

I guess, I'm in the minority - don't like racing.

LOVE THEM!!! I grew up going to the race track at least once a week & started taking my oldest dd when she was very very young I only took her to the track that had indoor seating though. My 2 youngest have never been to the races we have decided we will start going again this year. They are dying to go. My dh now isnt into cars like my family was not sure why his mom likes to go but not him. My brother & cousins all raced for years my dad would have probably but he was blind in one eye and I think that stopped him from actually racing but he sure helped my big brother a ton. Just a funny too my favorite part used to be riding on top of my brothers car out of the race track to the parking lot I was about 14 or 15 & thought that was really fun.

Nope not a NASCAR fan..but I totally understand why people are fans.

Edited to add: We live near the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the weekend of the Brickyard is a BLAST. WAY more fun then the INDY 500 or the Grand Prix...the fans who are camping and hangin out are more fun and crazy.

Huge Fan here, we live 40 mins from Texas Motor Speedway and we are season ticket holders. I cheer for Matt Kenseth, wife likes Tony Stewart and Kyle Bush. Not big fans of the short track, but hey that is part of the sport. Nothing like race weekend at the track with family and friends, we all take the travel trailers and have a great time.

HUGE fan here... My family spent our vacations traveling around to the races when I was a kid. Back when Richard Petty was the King and Dale Earnhardt used to get booed!! DH hated NASCAR until he married me...now he is a junkie!

I also collect die cast cars, autographed items and photos. But the prize in my collection is the Dale Earnhardt special edition Monte Carlo, that is number 113 out of 3,333 made. I only drive it on nice days. I always root for Junior and when his dad passed it was like losing a family member!

BIG BIG Nascar fans here!

We are season ticket holders for Vegas - complete with garage passes! We have been to the Fontana race here in So Cal, but we were very dissappointed by the crowd, so we probably won't go back.

I am a Jr fan, dh is a Kurt Busch fan (that makes me a KB fan by injection), dd1 cheers Stewart and dd2 cheers Biffle. We've met Kurt many times and he really is a nice guy in person even though people hate him. Biffle was equally as nice, but Kurt is really more personable.

We are also fans of the Powershift (formerly WFO) radio show on XM144. We even won the award for best sign on TV last year! The radio show is what really got me into Nascar, especially with the fantasy league online. I'll tell you what though.... I am one of the only asians I've ever seen at a track! LOL

GO JUNEBUG!

I live 10 minutes from Lowes motor speedway, and I am not a fan, but DH is in that industry so I have become a fan of free food and drinks in a suite at the races!

I know this is horrible, but I associate Nascar with things like Walmart and Springer. So, not a fan.

wouldn't know the first thing about it, except that when MIS rolls around each year, I avoid Irish Hills like the plague. I wouldn't want to clean toilets or anything but I would volunteer to work for those that would rather go watch a race. (overtime at General Motors is awesome)

I LOVE NASCAR But it is the ONLY sport I like. I avoid the rest like the plague.

Jr. is now my favorite. (his dad was when he was alive)
I also like Mark Martin, & Dale Jarrett.
My grandson roots for Kurt Busch.

Unless one of my favorites are up front it really doesn't matter who wins.
But there are 2 who I wish would never win.
If you're a Nascar fan you'll know who the 2 least favorite drivers are.

Well, since you said that you're a Dale Jr. fan (like myself! ), I know EXACTLY who you are talking about!!!
