The first NASCAR race I saw was about 1960 at Dixie Speedway in Midfield ,Alabama a 1/4 mile paved track(now a parking lot). The race was won but Ned Jarrett and had 3 Petty's racing in it Lee,Richard,Maurice.
The last race was at Talladega the past October.So I guess I'v been watching NASCAR fo r46 years.Oh I'm 53.

I first started watching NASCAR when I was dating my ex-boyfriend, who was a racer at a local dirt track. That was '87-'92. I wandered away from NASCAR after we broke up, but I still watched the Indy 500 each year, and I got intrigued by the guy who was running the Indy 500 and the CocaCola 600 on the same day in 1999. I've been a Tony fan ever since. =)

I am somewhat new and I still dont know what all the technical terms mean but I am a huge fan of NASCAR and I love it so much. Im different anyhow because I like Jeff Gordon which alot of people don't so whatever but to me he is the best driver now in NASCAR..

I'm an old Nascar fan. I can remember the race being on at home when I was a kid 20+ years ago.

I guess you could say that I'm a newbie. I've been a fan since 2004. My mother has been a fan for around 5 years now.

I can remember when NASCAR Grand Nationals (now called Nextel Cup) raced on dirt tracks. And the race cars were bought off the showroom floor at the dealer. I can remember when the Daytona 500 was held on the beach. One straightaway was on the sand and the other was on the paved road that ran along the beach. I can remember when the Hudson Hornets were the car to beat. Drivers wore T shirts, not firesuits, and wore leather helmets.

I'm a 2 year fan, but I know all the terms and rules. So, I guess I'm an "in the middle" fan because of my NASCAR knowledge.

I have been a fan ever since I can remeber. The only difference is as people have either died (dale sr) or retire (rusty wallace) I have learned to love other people but I will always be a dale sr. fan. I am a huge Dale Jr. Michael Waltrip fan and a Tony Stewart fan. I will always be there fans no matter where they are. But I will also be someone elses fans someday.
