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.

Lugnut-
Bonneville and Black Rock are my other two performance car fetishes! There is something wild about flat out "how fast can you go" Gary Gabelich was one of my idols as a kid.

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

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'm glad to see so many fans of racing of all kinds here.

Despite my previous post, I do like Tony Stewart. He does seem to have a self-destruct mechanism though. I only made the comment because I have been a Mark Martin fan for a long time and really wanted to see him win it all last year.

This thread could work in the "Guilty Pleasures" thread too. In my profession and in my other hobbies, it sometimes seems uncool to admit to being a Winston Cup fan.
