Hi all my fellow NASCAR fans, I have to share. I just met Jeff Gordon yesterday. He was amazing to his fans. He signed an autograph for me, took a picture with me, and he talked to me-I wished him lots of luck at Texas. He really took time out to show his dedication to his fans..........and I was really impressed. He's the best ( in my book ), always.
My Q: Have you ever met your driver? Share your story...... <3 <3 <3

Carl Edwards had just climbed out of his car after qualifying in Phoenix this past April. A young, mentally challenged fan stood by pit wall seeking Carl's autograph from him. Carl approached the child willing to provide an autograph, but the only item the small fan had in his hand for signature was a Tony Stewart hat! Carl Edwards looked around (for about 2 seconds) in search of something else to sign his autograph on... and ultimately took the hat OFF HIS OWN HEAD, signed it, and handed it to the thrilled young fan! It was just the most amazing and heart-warming gesture I've EVER witnessed in my life! Carl Edwards, you ROCK!

I would totally flip out to meet Mark Martin..aka Marky Mark. I have a lot of memorabilia for him and dread the day when he finally steps away. I'm much more attracted to the older, more experienced drivers and admire their life and family choices. All in all, most drivers are a great bunch of guys for the most part :) Phoenix International Raceway at the end of the month...right on!

Sounds like a great experience for you!
I haven't met my favourite NASCAR Drivers - I have two now - as I live in the UK, but I was at Silverstone to see my newest favourite winning the British GP in 2005 and that was cool. My other favourite is Stacey Compton, as we share the same surname, even though he doesn't seem to finish very high very often!
I'd like to see them both do well soon, JPM in the Nextel Cup and Stacey in the Busch Series.

No but I have met a lot of others I wish I could meet Bobby Labonte. That's cool for you. Jeff Gordon was my sons favorite a few years ago and he met him it was cute cause he couldn't say Jeff Gordon but he called him Race Gordon he seemed very genuine.

Unfortunately, not yet. I'd like to meet Rusty Wallace-I was a big fan for many years (I hope Steve turns out to be as good as dad)
I'd also like to meet my current driver, Greg Biffle, talk with him a bit, and have him sign my fan club card personally.

Yes I have. My fav. driver is Kasey. I met him January 2005. We went to the world of wheels and he was signning autographs. We waited along time. But it was worth it. He was quiet.

Yes, but every body around here has met the Biffle brothers, I was way more thrilled meeting my favorite outlaw driver Sammy Swindell.
