I hope QVC doesn't sue me! 
I've seen alot of race fans on the board, thought we should have a thread (if it's been done before, ignore it, I haven't seen it, so it's all new)
So who's your favorite driver? Why ? How long have you been a fan?
Me. Ok. I started in 1991-92 with Davey Allison. "Local" boy, and I instantly became a fan. Unfortunately, that didn't last very long (RIP). Being that the 28 car got me into racing, I followed it.
Skip ahead to 1994. Ernie Irvan nearly dies at Michigan, Dale Jarrett hopped in, so I followed my 28 like a good boy. I grew a liking for DJ, and when the 88 was born, I followed DJ, and have a been a Jarrett fan since then.
My other, Dale Earnhardt Jr. No, I'm no Dale Sr. fan turned Jr. fan. No, I didn't become a Jr. fan because his daddy died. I've been a Dale Jr. fan since 1998, his rookie Busch year. I have the t-shirts and diecasts to prove my following. I followed him through back to back Busch championships, and still follow him to this day.
I was at Talladega in April when he won, and I was at Talladega this past Octber when he won. I've been to Talladega several time between now and 1996. I was at the fastest Talladega race ever, when Mark Martin won, in a caution free race.
My other favorites. Jimmy Johnson. I so wish he had another owner, but regardless, I've watched him since he came in, and he hasn't proved me wrong. I just hope he isn't a 1 season wonder like Harvick.
Ryan Newman, again, one I've watched since he came in, and he's been a bad . I got his autograph in April. Good guy. As long as he doesn't turn cocky (if you know about him, it doesnt seem likely to happen) I will be a fan.
Mark Martin. He's a fav. Not so much now as way back when I got into it, but if he can sneak into this championship win, I'll be really happy for him. He got penalized after this weekend's race, but he's still only 112 out.
But DJ and Lil E are my boys. DJ fan since the 88 existed, Lil E fan since he started Busch. Those are my true ones. I've had people doubt my Jr. fan status, but I have the diecasts/shirts/etc to prove myself.
So, this was fairly long, but give your race history, I dont care how long you ramble, I'll read it. I hope every other race fan here will too.
