Okay, i know a lot of people dont like it, but i do so i figured id start a thread.

Basically, I'll update this every week with results and stuff. Feel free to talk about drivers, tracks, etc.

My driver has and always will be Greg Biffle, the Ameriquest #16 car. I think Rouche racing is a good team too. Kenseth has always been there for Biffle.

My favorite track......

Oval- Darlington, a very nice variety. You have to know what youre doing.
Short track- Bristol, the best short ever
Tri-oval- Pocono. It has a nice different feel to it.
Restricter Plate- Talladega (yes, not Daytona). I like it because the S/F is after the apex creating a more suspensfull final lap.
Road Course- New Mexico (even though it's only for Busch) its a very challenging track with many high speed turns

My favorite driver was Earnhardt Sr. until he died. Right now it's Kevin Harvick.

Oval- Darlington (my family's ancestors originates from Darlington, SC)
Short track- Bristol
Tri-oval- Atlanta
Restricter Plate- Daytona, Talledega would be better if they ran without the plates.
Road Course - Infineon Raceway, that hairpin turn always has something going on there.

I miss Pontiac in NASCAR.

"Oooooo! They've completed another circuit!! Look! Look! They're going around again!!"

I just can't get into Nascar . . . I like watching sports like baseball where I can take a nap, wake up, and usually not have missed a thing.

^Trust me, i've heard that before. I just grew up with and and grew to love it. Its a sport where either you like it or dont. And, its a lot more than just cars going in a circle, if you see two cars side by side, you cant wait to see who pulls ahead.
