How long have you been a fanI've been a fan since the early 90s.
How did your interest in racing startMy dad probably got me started on it. I guess it also helps to live in the NASCAR capitol.
Who was your first favorite driverRichard Petty was getting out when I first started watching, so I picked up on Jeff Gordon which eventually led to Jimmie when he debuted. I saw his first Winston Cup race at Charlotte and I decided to follow him from there.
Who is your current favorite driverJimmie
If you had three hours to spend with your favorite driver, what would you doIt would be awesome to be able to ride in the car, but just hanging out and talking sports and whatnot would be fine too.
What is your most memorable moment in racingProbably the 2005 Coca-Cola 600 because I was there and that was the first race I saw him win in person. I also highly enjoyed his first championship, theres something special about the first one.
How many races do you attend each yearat least 2
What is your favorite trackI can't pick just one because I love bothCharlotte and Martinsville. It has to be a tie between those two.
If you worked in racing, what job would you doI like statistics. I don't know if they have someone who does that, but I'd like it. If not that then definitely commentating the races.
If you were in charge of NASCAR, what would you changePenalties would not be as harsh for certain things. If it actually made their car that much better than the competition than I'd consider harsher penalties, but if it didn't than I wouldn't deduct too many points.
