Any day...or night...without a NASCAR race would be fine. Monday or Tuesday? In any event, I can't wait to see the whole thing.Thank You!

How long have you been a race fan?

Stock Car Racing History

That's pretty much what happened to me. My husband and I were open wheel fans back then. We could get those races on Network TV, here in New England, but ESPN's coverage of stock car racing was terrible and we didn't watch much. When it finally improved...around '92...we began to get interested, and the rest, as they say,is History. My husband grew up with a guy named Bill Elliott, so...Awesome Bill became his natural choice for a favorite driver.My first was actually Jeff Gordon, because I didn't have to strain my eyes to find the "rainbow".I guess I was a casual fan until 1996, but my husband passed away that September and it was almost a year before I went back to look, since Lee & I had enjoyed it so much together. The driver who had become one of my "Big 3", had won the WC championship that year and I hadn't even known it. The other 2? Rusty & Sterling.I still enjoy racing and I probably always will, but never again as much I did when those 3 were racing.I will be privileged to see Sterling race at the 'Plex on August 30th...and I pray I'll be able to meet him, if only to shake his hand and simply say "hello"...assuming I can do that without tripping over my tongue!And PS...I love this site!
