My parents are big into nascar, it really doesnt do anything for me though. But I can say that my mother can pretty much get any drivers autograph at the night race in charlotte. Shes best friends with a person who used to be Dale Earnhardts Chiropractor. So they get pit passes and shit every year. She even usually gets a bottle of wine from Richard Childress from his personal vinyard.

wasn't big into nascar until last year and greg got me hooker.. i even went to a race up in new Hampshire with JVG and seeing it live is amazing.. the cars are just amazing to see going 200 mph and only being within a foot of each other. plus if you don't know a lot about nascar and how they race then it really does only look like a giant group of cars doing circles but if you understand how then move for positioning of the lead car just to catch a draft and how every wreck causes everyone to line back up so crashes come into a huge factor to help get positioning, plus pit stops are also part of the strategy (fuel, no fuel, 4 tires, 2 tires, no tires, change the track par position, add more tape to the front of the car to raise the engine temp up) i mean everything done in the 3 hour race is planed and is added to the strategy, sure it's not as thrilling as taking a double apex turn at 120 thru a road as wide as the car but don't knock it cause they only do one direction, these guys race in a pretty hard way.. plus the driver talent lately has got a lot better (johnson, gordon, jr, stewart, hamlin, and even your amazing indy and f1 guy montoya is getting into the action and he's finding out that it's not so easy
