Mark Martin. I miss him in the Valvoline car. At least he doesn't need the "Little Blue Pill" anymore.

My wife and I don't have a single favorite driver. We got into it when Ricky Craven started driving and just found we enjoyed watching and listening to the commentary. We just like to see a good race.

I think my avatar speaks for itself. :) I don't watch it much anymore since Sterling Marlin got cut from Ginn Racing in 2007. :mad: He's raced a little more since then, but only here and there. I've been to a few races. First one was at Talladega in 1989. Second and third were the June races at Poconno in 1997 and 1998. Last one was the 2001 Daytona 500. That was the day that every diehard NASCAR fan remembers. :(

I was always a big fan of the # 88. When Jarret retired it seemed real easy to keep rootin for the #88. Juniors alright, He's in it at the end. :) Scott

It seems like all the good drivers "jumped ship" last year. Now I gotta learn who-is-in-what-car all over again.

Haven't really kept up with it since 2001. #3 was my fav.

I did end up in NH in 2006, but I had a hard time keeping track of who was who -- so many changes & so many new faces....

With all the festivities yesterday, I totally forgot it was on. I watched the video at NASCAR.com.

My interest started going away after Dale got killed. Also, I was working with a local race team for the previous two years so after DOING it, watching racing wasn't all that exciting anymore.

With the COT, they might as well just hand the whole series over to IROC and NASCAR can call it quits.
