Auto Racing
i know we have a Danica thread, but i thought we could start one to talk about racing in general.
well, i started on Nascar about 8 years ago, but i follow other sports too. i'm a big Jeff Gordon fan and i'm a bit depressed today cuz he finished 25th. i follow the IRL, some F1, a little drag racing. i know everyone has been introduced to Danica, but there is another female by the name of Katherine Legge. she is getting a lot of attention because unlike Danica she has won two races. her most recent one in the last day or so. it's in a lower series, but the same one that Danica once raced in. |

I've been watching Nascar ever since I was a little girl. Hell I could take that back to watching Nascar in the womb
Before I just chanted for who my family rooted for. Which was Ricky Rudd. But I would say for the past 3 or so years my driver would be Dale Jr. All the way!! The race this past Sunday, my heart went out to Jeff Gordon. I am not a big fan of his but no one deserves the kinda race streak he has been going through. My jaw dropped when I saw his last pit stop. Then with what 10 or so laps to go his brakes went. BUT on another note. It looks like my boy is starting to realize 'hey we need to do something.' A top 10 is ok in my book. Congrads to Tony Stewart too. I was excited to see him win.

I love auto racing not only do I race as a amateur but also watch it on TV. I really don't care for Nascar and circle tracking, but F1, ALMS, CART, Grand Am, Speed World challenge, Ect.. Usually always tape or watch live or go to the races. Most people probably wouldn't recognize those series since they are road race cars
Kathrine legge is a great race car driver but because she hasn't sold her self as a sex symbol could hurt her chances getting a good ride. When Danica was in the same series there were only about 6 cars and really no competition with many of the other competitors having older cars, she of course had the top of line equipment. She barely made it in that series and here we have Legge with bigger fields better competition and not the best equipment but then again not the worst equipment. She is the type of person that would be respected in a paddock. |

i don't watch too much road racing. i don't watch too much CART since they lost a lot of the drivers to IRL. one driver though that i haven't heard from too much from lately, but that i've always liked is Jimmy Vasser.

I could never get into nascar but I do like CART and IRL. I sometimes watch F-1 when it's on but I don't go out of my way to see their races. My favorite CART driver is A.J. Allmendinger. As for IRL, I usually root (sp?) for Danica Patrick. I really like to see her do well.

I love nascar I think it's so much fun to watch even though all you watch is guys turning left and going in circles but anyways I've been watching it since I could remember which is probably when I was little. I was always the biggest Dale Earnhardt fan before he died. Now, I'm a Dale JR. fan along with Elliot Sadler. Those are my two favorite racers. I try to watch the race every Sunday but sometimes I don't get around to it. Not to long ago they were in Joliet. I'm not sure how long ago it was. I wanted to go but I couldn't.
I've always wanted to go to the race but I never have gotten the chance to go yet. Someday I will.

BTW A.J. is probably the next best US driver close second to Scott Speed who will race in F1 next year. I think 3rd would come Tony Stewart the best drivers are those who can jump into any car and be competitive. |
