Same here. I've been to 2 races. Chicago -july 2003 and Charlotte -october, 2004. At Charlotte I was escorted to Dale Jr's hauler by local firefighters and got my picture taken with him. Both races were awesome.

Im just getting into this whole Nascar thing, but I love it. I cant wait to see some racing in person. Im trying to follow as best I can this season and get a feel for all the drivers so I can decide who my faves are. My drummer is a huge Jeff Gordon fan. So far I've been rootin for Danica Patrick but she hasn't done much from what I gather, but I dont get to actually watch many races....I'll hafta start checking the internet for this stuff....

I went to a number of races in Charlotte and Rockingham when I was younger... growing up in this part of NC I am constantly surrounded by NASCAR everything. My mom went to high school with Dale Jarrett, and grandpa had to chase him and his buddies off the farm more than once with the shotgun (mom is one of 7 sisters).

But now the sport just bores me to death... I call it Jimmiecar now because Johnson always seems to win. There is very little competition in the sport anymore, and the cars aren't even remotely related to anything you see on the roads. "Stock Car" has no meaning anymore.

Want viewership to grow? Bring back real cars lightly modified off the showroom floor. A real Impala, a real Charger, a real Camry, a real Taurus. Tune the engines a little, gut the interior, add roll cage and safety equipment and let 'em race. Get real competition between the manufacturers in a car that I can actually go out and buy. Until then I'll be watching the SCCA races instead.
