Any Kyle Petty fans?
I watch NASCAR to fill the void between football season. I tend to favor Kyle Petty...the King was awesome.
Most of my kids friends like the younger ones, but I was just talking about the ending of an era Dale Gone Rudd retired Rusty retired Martin probably going to retire Ward Burton Gone jeesh...how do you fill those shoes? |

he isn't the worst, but I think it is more for sentimental reasons. |

Far from the worst though. Besides, he knows he will never win a championship, let alone a race anymore. He uses his position to further his charitable causes. He spends hundreds of hours a year giving his time and position helping those less fortunate. Kyle's charities http://www.victoryjunction.org/aa_home/index.html (camp for seriously ill children) http://www.kylepettycharityride.com/ He also works with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Boy Scouts of America. One thing is for certain, there should be more people like Kyle Petty. |

Now that Rusty's gone, there's no need to watch. I'll turn my attention to IRL and see what ol Marco Andretti can do. I forsee him switching to NASCAR or F1 if he starts getting real good real fast (which I'm hoping he will).
He could be like his grandpappy, the only person to win an Indy 500, Daytona 500, and the F1 championship. Moooo |

I don't watch much Nascar, but I like Jeff Gordon because he can speak eloquently, is good looking, and can actually read. That pisses the hell out of Earnhardt fans.

I started watching NASCAR about a decade ago, and I agree it's sad to see so many of the drivers that I'm familiar with leaving. These are the guys who led NASCAR through an unprecedented period of growth, and I think much of the credit for the increased popularity goes to them. Rusty was definitely one of my favorites, great guy and a great ambassador to the sport.
There's some good young drivers to get excited about though, most of them seem to have the competitive spirit to keep things interesting. It's all good. |

car racing is decided by a mechanical...tool. If car racing is a sport, so are video games (BTW, I'm not too fond of golf either. but its more of a sport than NASCAR)
