Any AudiogoNers Winston Cup fans?

I work for Caterpillar, so you KNOW where my NASCAR loyalties lie. :o)

A Ward Burton fan. Me I don't work for, nor do I need to avail myself of Mark Martin's sponser's services ;)

Suddenly feel like a fish out of water? I had to finish a job this Sunday and guess what, I didnt go till after the race! I never miss a race (on tv) if I can help it and I am determined to see one at the track this year. Considering the fact that I live 30 min from Lowe's Motor Speedway I should be able to swing it.
Favorite driver? Mark Martin of course. Maybe its because Im not a kid, but Im kinda sick of the "Young Guns" that get all the press while drivers (with class) like Martin can be leading the points and barely get mentioned. And that punk Tony Stewert wins the Championsip! Oh well, its fun!
Races are pretty long so there is plenty of time to listen to tunes while you watch. I can see where to some it may seem like little is going on, but there is much more to each race than meets the eye. And its easy to forget how fast these guys are going untill someone loses it.
Martin is off to a good start, he needs (deserves) a championship!

You are so right! I thought for a while last year that he might be able to pull off the "champpeenship" He is consistant, as well as being a low key class act. I don't begrudge Stewart's win last year, but I was hoping to see the usual Tony "Self Destruct" Stewart come apart down the home stretch and Mark get his well deserved cup. Oh well - it is a blast to watch! I live within 1.5 hrs of both Dover and Pocono.

I used to be a pit crew chief for a formula car racing team, and I can agree with what was said earlier about how different the speed seems when you are up close. I used to hold the pit board up for the driver when he came by on the pit straight at 200+ mph. I was leaning over the Armco rail and he would go by about 2 feet from me at over 200. That will get your attention. I love racing.
