    Well, I hate country music and I am very white collar so I don't fit the sterotypical NASCAR fan. Where the hell are NASCAR and/or other Auto racing fans at?

    Are there no other trekkies on here who love racing as much as I do?:( In need of company of fellow fans to discuss this season.

    Yo!

    Huge NASCAR fan here.

    I also don't fit the typical NASCAR fan stereotype, but love it anyway. Have you been to any of the tracks for a race yet?

    The Glen last year was my first. My brother has been few others before me.

    This year will be a return to the Glen and off to New Hampshire for the chase race.

    Been to Phoenix 3x and Vegas once myself.

    Nothing quite equals the energy at the race. It's almost impossible to describe.

    I really got upset with Nascar last year (The Brickyard travesty, bad attendance, just bad racing in general) but I'm really looking forward to Daytona. It's must see viewing if you're a casual fan/observer/watcher every year.

    Oh, I'm Brother Flounder and playing as the Strikers.

    And I'm ecstatic that my driver (the Old Man) is on the outside pole for the 500.

    Oy! That's just...well....honestly, it's true. He looks more like he's 60 than 50.

    At least my driver doesn't have Baby---er---Burger King as a sponsor. And caterer.

    You've gotta be kidding me. Almost every NASCAR fan I know is a white-collar northeastern professional like me. That stereotype is pretty old now. I don't listen to country and I swear by foreign cars. SO THERE!
    Now, as to 2008, my heart is pulling for Mark Martin to take it all. I've been a huge Juan Pablo Montoya fan since his IndyCar days so he's always on my list. I'd also like to see Robby Gordon do the impossible and win a race with his own team. I like his fierce independence.
    The Tommy Baldwin Racing story is pretty good, too. As is Tony Stewart and his new team. I'd like to see "Smoke" contend.
    Unfortunately, I fear it will be an all Jimmie Johnson/Carl Edwards snoozefest again.

    2009.:rommie: Maybe it was just my misfortune of going to a race suronded by people listening to country music and getting so drunk.
