Coke 600 and the Southern 500. Coke 600 because its the longest and most high intense race. Southern 500 because of all of the beat banging and also the best car never wins the Southern 500.

My favorite race was the one that got me hooked on NASCAR stockcar racing.
August 3,1960 at DIXIE Speedway in Midfield,Alabama.This was a 1/4 mile track that was also a figure 8 track.
The race was about 200 laps on the 1/4 mile.Only 15 or 16 cars started the race.The winner was Ned Jarrett.The real intresting thing was that there were 3 Petty's racing this race,Lee,Richard,Maurice.
Since then I have been to races at many other tracks including Talladega this past spring.
So keep NASCAR going strong.

My favorite race was my first live race. It was at Bristol. Bristol races are still my favorite two, of the season. Here is a story about my first NASCAR race.

I'll never forget my first race. My dad ( who has since passed )took my friend ( no longer with us,due to a car accident )and I for a long roadtrip from the shores of Lake Erie, South to Bristol in 1992. I had never really watched any racing until then. What racing I did watch I rooted for Bill Elliott because he drove the Budwieser car (#11) and I was also a big fan of Terry LaBonte and his Kellogs #5. We arrived in Bristol on Friday night and slept in the parking lot of the racetrack in my dads suburban. My dad said since we are here in plenty of time that we were gonna get tickets to the Budwieser 250 on Saturday (Busch Series). When we walked in to the track I was just amazed. When the race started I had to pick a driver to root for. Since there was no Awesome Bill From Dawsonville or Texas Terry in the race I decided my Busch driver was going to be the #44 car because I liked the way it looked and #44 was the number of one of my favorite players on our highschool football team when we went to state in 85. About ten laps into the race I found out that the driver of that #44 was actually Texas Terrys brother, Bobby LaBonte. What a coincidence. Bobby went on to win the Budwieser 250. What a great start to a great weekend. The next day the cup drivers hit the track for the Food City 500. What an exciting specticle. 500 laps of pure power, banging and bumping the whole race. I've never seen so much excitement in one place. The late great Alan Kulwicki won the race in the #7 Hooters car with some awesome driving all day. Since that day I have a part of me that will never forget Alan Kulwicki and what he done as an owner/driver. I will also continue to root for Bobby LaBonte as I have since my day at the Bud 250.

well i'm still new to Nascar. so I'm only choosing the ones I've seen this year. one was the Daytona 500, Kevin Harvick held off Mark Martin, by split seconds, and Clint Bowyer crosses the finish-line upside down.

the other was the Milwaukee Mile for the Busch race, because is was there, and i had a blast, and a major sun-burnt face that I'll never forget.

the other two would be the Indianapolis, because Tony Stewart finally got his first win of the season, and the Montreal race the Busch guys were in. that was the one wear Kevin Harvick won the race, and Robby Gordon went and celebrated as if he had won.

October 2000.. Earnhardt drops back to eighteenth, with fewer then ten to go.. The crowd gasps.. He picks up Kenny Wallace in the fifty five Square D car, and drives from eighteenth to win the race in four laps.. I've always wondered if that had been pre-arranged... Edit: Andy Petree who owned the 55 car, had been one of Dale's best Crew Chiefs.. They were Champions together, and remained friends, along with Richard Childress.. Kenny Wallace had been a friend as well..

The Coca Cola 600. I go every year and it's a great time. More to do for a race fan than any other track in the series. A weekend of partying and racing, whats better.

One of the benefits of NASCAR’s increasing popularity is that the whole country is now witness to some of the most amazing races in history. Moreover, with this new national audience, a driver can now make or break their reputation based on how they finish a single race. Most of us who are NASCAR fans watch the whole race, but it would be pure blasphemy to miss the last few laps, where myths are formed and legends are made. With that in mind, here are the 10 most amazing NASCAR finishes of all time.
Number 101993 Daytona 500
In Jeff Gordon's first NASCAR start, Dale Earnhardt Sr. led with two laps to go. Dale Jarrett, running third at the time, went under Gordon and pulled even with Earnhardt. After turn three, the leaders bumped and The Intimidator went sliding. Jarrett took advantage and pulled ahead of Earnhardt for the win. What made this NASCAR finish even more memorable was that Jarrett's father and former NASCAR champion Ned Jarrett was calling the race from the broadcast booth. Dad was Dale's biggest fan that day, and it came through loud and clear to a national television audience.
Number 91988 Daytona 500
The 1988 Daytona 500 stands out in memory for several reasons. Firstly, after Bobby Allison's crash at Talladega the previous year, the 1988 race was the first to feature mandatory restrictor plates to control speed. Secondly, the 1988 Daytona saw Dale Earnhardt Sr. introduce his now famous black paint scheme. Lastly, and most importantly, the 1988 Daytona 500 was also the last NASCAR finish to have a father and son place first and second. Specifically, Bobby Allison beat his son Davey to the finish line to become the oldest driver to win the Daytona 500.
Number 81992 Hooters 500
The 1992 Hooters 500 could make the history books solely for being Richard Petty's final race, but the more exciting story had to with the closest point championship in the history of NASCAR. Bill Elliott and Alan Kulwicki were second and third in overall points for the NASCAR championship, trailing only Davey Allison going into the race. In the end, Allison crashed, and Elliott won. However, Elliott's NASCAR finish was bittersweet as Kulwicki led one more lap than him, giving Kulwicki bonus points and the 1992 NASCAR championship by a measly 10 points. Interestingly, Elliott and Kulwicki were side by side for several laps, making the finish even more electrifying.
Number 71984 Firecracker 400
This nail-biter at the Daytona International Speedway was the scene of the first ever presidential attendee for a NASCAR race, Ronald Reagan. Richard Petty had been sitting at 199 wins for weeks, and was ready to break the second century mark. Petty and Cale Yarborough passed each other several times on the last lap, with Petty leading through turns one and two, Yarborough leading through turn three, and the drivers sitting side by side through the last sprint to the finish, with Petty winning by inches. This contest also goes down as one of the most important NASCAR finishes in history as Petty would never win another race.
Number 61987 Daytona 500
Bill Elliott took the pole for this Daytona 500, and led almost the entire way. The finish was the most interesting part, as several drivers, including Geoff Bodine and Dale Earnhardt, closed in on Elliott during a pit stop with 13 laps left. Bodine, refusing to pit for fuel after his gamble in the 1986 Daytona 500 paid off, ended up running out of gas, as did Earnhardt. Elliot won, with Earnhardt placing fifth and Bodine not even ranking in the top 10. This was one of many forgettable NASCAR finishes for The Man in Black at Daytona.

Bristol is my favorite. The racing is good and you can see the entire track. We go every year to both races and I have enjoyed them all.

Favorite? Daytona

Why? Seeing a car that I helped build win at that historic track is amazing!
