Are there any other racing fans here at IE? If so, who's your favorite for the 500?

Mine is Tony Stewart.

I think we may have the most wrecks ever this year.

I like Jr. Yeah, yeah.

Anyways the shootout was awesome on Saturday night. Best restricter plate race in a while.

Right now I'd say Jr, Stewart, Ky Busch, Gordon and Harvick are my favorites right now. I think the race will be a wild one so who knows

I live here in the center of NASCAR country (Concord, NC) and am friends and aquaintances of several drivers and crew chiefs. I am a Stewart fan b/c I am a Hoosier originally. I do not like Kyle Busch but his driving last Saturday night was nothing short of insane. I think this Daytona may end of being one of the best races ever.

Nice!

I agree, I think it could be one of the best ever.

I became a Stewart and NASCAR fan because I met him quite a few times while I was a manager for Home Depot, he hooked me up with pit passes for a Michigan race.

If you know any of the drivers or crew chiefs well enough.....I know a ND fan that now lives in Northern California (ME) that would kill for some pit passes to the Sonoma road course race ????????

The best race ever is the Coca Cola 600 under the light was awesome.

Tony Stewart has been my driver since back when he was racing open wheels in the IRL. I love the way he drives and doesn't take any $hit from anyone. Plus he's an Indiana native and allows me to talk some crap to all the douchebag Gordon fans who populate this state. I just wish Tony would still run the double on Memorial Day weekend and go at Indy and then race at the Pepsi at night.

Also, having been to both Daytona and The Brickyard, I take the Brickyard every single time. IMO, Indianapolis Motor Speedway is the best track in America and the Brickyard is the best race on the NASCAR circuit. (Hoosier bias clearly showing through)

I love the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. I liked watching the Brickyard there but the grand daddy of them all, The Indianapolis 500 is the best IMO.

Tony can drive any type car he is bad *** on dirt as well.

Yeah he is! I went to his dirt track Eldora Speedway over the summer and even though he doesn't race dirt too much he surely can hold his own. I'd put money on him whenever he's racing, no matter what type.

Sorry......These are always the best night races! Bristol baby!

I use to park cars for a few years in HS at Gateway in Illinois. Not NASCAR but got me pumped. I have had several tickets to KC but I refuse. I want Bristol at night or nothing.



Sorry to get a tad off topic.

I asked in another thread but figured I should mention it here also....can somebody change Tony Stewarts number in the vbuck bank NASCAR team logos? Its # 14 now and they still have him under his old #20. Thanks!

I love all racing, especially F-1 and Indy Car, so my pick probably isnt very popular. I am a big Juan Pablo Montoya fan. The Indy 500 is the greatest single sporting event I have ever been to.

Exactly what she has done in Indy Car....NOTHING!

Meh i think she'll be alright. Indy racing is so much car so it's hard to tell. Not to many people have made the jump from open wheel to NASCAR but I think she'll be alright.

I wish all these fools would get out of my town!!!! God the amount of incest that is probably going on at the RV camps and amount of Natural Light consumed is appalling...i guess one leads to the other though!
