North Georgia Racers Reunion Chapter

Hi All,

NASCAR---- What do you think, is it still interesting???

Stock Car Racing History

For me, I will continue to watch nascar and keep watching no matter how corrupt it may get. I first got into it when I was about 7 watching the 2003 finale at Homestead at a restaurant. At the time, I didn't have a clue who Bill Elliott, Tony Stewart, Richard Petty, David Pearson, Jeff Gordon, etc was. We were eating with my grandparents. And after seeing my dad and granddad disappointed when Elliott blew on a tire on the last lap. I figured that if they were into it, I needed to be. So at the start of the 2004 season, me and my dad watched Dale Earnardt Jr pass Tony Stewart to win the Daytona 500. I heard DW saying when Jr done his burnout that he done it like his dad or something like that, so I figured that his dad must've been a driver. My dad favored Tony Stewart, so naturally, he became my favorite driver. During that time (First 3 or 4 races of the season) I was very sick, so staying inside every Sunday, I got to watch a couple races. I do remember Rockingham and Vegas right after that. Matt Kenseth won both races in a photo finish with Kasey Kahne. When I watched the Vegas race, I remember the name Kenseth and Kahne, and thought "Wow, those two drivers were in those same positions like last week. And that one is a rookie!" I didn't always watch the races every Sunday....I forgot sometimes as I had a best friend neighbor (my only neighbor too) so we always played together everyday. His family were Jeff Gordon fans. I didn't realize until after that, that his address was 1124 (end # being Jeff Gordon's #) and our's was 1120 (last two # being Tony Stewart's number) To this day, I've always thought of how cool that was. For my birthday that year, I got a Nascar computer game from a few years back, so it had some of the older drivers and learned from that, and a Special Edition of Sports Illustrated all about Nascar. It was more of a book rather than the usual magazine. It told all about the history of the sport, etc. So, I read it and read it and remembered the info. Incidentally, my birthday used to be around the Watkins Glen race and Tony Stewart would usually win, so I used to think of that as a birthday present. lolEver since that November day in 2003, I've always been curious about cars and nascar/racing. In 2006, joined GARHOFA (the Georgia Automobile Racing Hall of Fame Association.) From there I met a lot of interesting people and have had a lot of great opportunities. They respected me and I respected them. Also in 06, For the first time, I talked on the microphone at Dixie Speedway! In 2007, I visited the GRHOF (Georgia Racing Hall of Fame), I was very pleased, and kept going back until finally, somehow, I became a volunteer and never looked back. In 2009, I was very fortunate enough to become a part of Racers Reunion and that has to be one of my greatest accomplishments I think. In 2010, I'm still going strong and hope to do bigger and better things with my life.Didn't mean to tell my life history here...but to answer to Johnny's original post "What do you think of Nascar and is it still interesting?" I say yes, no matter what happened in the past, now, or the future, I will always continue to watch Nascar, people say it's boring during a race because there is no racing or passing or crashes...And I somewhat agree. It does make you sort-of bored seeing Kyle Busch or Kevin Harvick (Nothing against those guys) go out and lead almost every lap and dominate, see no bump-drafting, etc. But Nascar in general is a great sport.-Cody

Good Story Tim!!! Happy First Race Anniversary!Ya know it's like what I told the news paper reporter a few weeks ago. Nascar and racing is in my blood, it'd be hard to get it out. No matter what nascar does to make people not watch it anymore, I will still be there watching the races and following it, it's just hard to get away from something I've lived, breathed and slept for 7 years now.-Cody

Will Bristol be called the TEMPER 500 ???

Current NASCAR

Tommie, not disagreeing with you, but look back to the 1995 and 1999 incident with Terry Labonte and Dale Earnhardt. Both times I dont think either driver got fined. Now I didnt watch last nights race, just saw a pic in the paper, so I can't say too much, but.... Tommie Clinard said:

They should have parked Busch last night for what he did to Kesloski. A deliberate spin after Brad touched Busch's bumper. Just a little tap and Busch retaliates and wrecks Brad.
Brad is on probation and could not retaliate.
NASCAR should have stepped up and said, "enough is enough." "You have wrecked enough people." " Sit the rest of this one out."
Brad is running for a championship. Busch is running to see how many he can wreck out of his way.
Way to go official's.
If Brad were not on probation----then it would probably get wild tonight.
Maybe Brad has some friends that could--------------... I hope so.
