Being a Stewart fan for the better part of a decade I've really grown to dislike this race. He's just had one heart-breaking race after another down there, especially at the 50th running when leading on the last lap down the backstretch.

A lot like Earnhardt, who took what ..... almost 20 years to win it? I hear ya though. I'm not a fan of this 2 car draft they have now. Although, I'm not really a fan of the pack racing either.

Cars with roofs.....meh

I refuse to expect to see him win this race seeing that the winner of the 500 is usually unexpected

I love the restrictor plate races. They all run about the same speed and when they crash it's usually a bunch of them..

Yea, those are all pretty unique tracks and usually result in good racing. Richmond is one of my favorite tracks. The road courses are always a nice break in an oval dominated circuit. I'd like to see a few more RC's. And Darlington is another one of my favs. Probably biased on that one, because it's right down the road and it was my first race.

I like Stewart. R. Gordon comes across as a 5'11" prick and will never make it in NASCAR, and Montoya ..... well, he's ok. It's just hard to accept the non traditional (stereotypical) type drivers, but he is good driver. I do like that he doesn't take shit off anyone.

I like Stewart too, he s my replacement for Big E. Still having a hard time getting back into NASCAR after he was killed but I ll try again this year.

pretty much the same here. I was a Big E. fan when I first got into racing as a kid. Then Big E helped this dude, who was welding seat backs at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, get a ride. So I started pulling this guy, Ernie Irvan. Well we know what happened to him, so after his accidents I went back to Big E. Then I just stayed with the RCR team and figured Harvick was kind of brash and ballsy ( No Big E by any means) and I like his aggressive style, so I have been pulling for him since. Racing just hasn't been the same though.

Edisto_Tiger · 01-30-2012, 06:21 PM

BTW .... 27 days to go!!

BoiseStateFan27 · 01-30-2012, 09:04 PM

I went to a few races back when I lived in Florida, never watched them on TV

kind of started to get into it two years ago

last year I followed until football season started

story will probably be the same this year.
