Well kari . I will do my best to talk Mark Martin for you .. I do have a pit pass LOL..
Azathoth.. here is the story about the person i support.. i used to try to follow the races with my dad when i was younger .. i remember him watching on sundays.. i think i was about 10 or 11.. and really it was more an excuse to hang with him then really watch the race or care about what was going on .. soooo fast forward a few years.. ok more than a few ..
my interest was piqued again by some one really special to me .. we would/ will watch the races either together or separately then talk about it.. i learned the rules..why stuff happens the way it does.. i have really gotten into it.. the strategies etc.. so the year i started in again was Kasey Kahne's rookie year.. so ..i decided who better to support than a rookie cause i was a rookie.. so that is who i follow.. i didnt wanna be accused of picking the most popular driver or the one that won the most.. so there you are.. i do have a second one i cheer for as well .. Elliott Sadler simply because we share the Elliott part of the name and i think he is a nice guy.. there are alot of the drivers i really respect for their integrity .. and sportsmanship.. and there are those that are really great drivers i cant stand because they dont seem grateful for what they have or wanna blame every one else for their mistakes.. ..
so anyway .. come Oct 8th.. I will have Kasey Kahne ball cap and lariat and I will be off to the races..

I like watching Nascar on TV and following it online, etc., but don't think I would like to go to a race. Too noisy and smelly (am I sounding too girly here?).
My BIL goes to New Hampshire every year for the races and has learned, you better book your hotel room about 9 months in advance or you will be driving the 100 miles to the race on race day.
I might like it if I could have a camper set up like some of them do......yup, too girly.

I book my hotel a year in advance. I have had enough bad luck with hotels being sold or demolished AFTER I had reservations made. Can wait to see the Lariat. Robyn might just "need" one.

My family only started watching Nascar because of Kasey Kahne...he's their "local boy" (they live in Enumclaw, WA)... I don't really follow it on the TV but it's probably much more exciting in real life :) Hope you have fun!

Sounds good to me. Back when I followed racing it was Mark Martin and Rusty for me. That and cheering Ricky Rudd for his one win a year. Is he still the Ironman?
