Any AudiogoNers Winston Cup fans?


Do any of you follow the NASCAR Winston Cup? Do you have any favorite driver? I've been following it over the last 10 or 12 years myself. Got into it while living for a short time in South Carolina in 1990 - 1991. Some friends took me to the tracks at Talladega and Darlington. Got into following Mark Martin. Watching the dance of a 200 mph traffic jam and pit stop strategy is pretty cool.

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!
