	Back in the 90’s while in college I had a roommate that watch the race every Sunday. At first I was a bit tick off that he took over our living room. Then as time went on I started to get more educated on the sport and started following it. been a fan ever since then.

	I have endured Nascar for a long time since my day is a huge Jeff Gordan fan but when Toyota came in I became a Nascar fan.

	Back in the early 1990's, I used to work for a guy who owned his own jet charter service. He was hired by a multi millionaire trucking company owner to take him and a buddy to Talladega. This guy was one of the coolest people I have ever been around. He asked the owner, well since we have this nice fancy jet, no sense in only taking 2 people we need more people in it. So he took 5 more people with him. I was one of them. We got to watch the race from the boxes for free!!!!!! That was the first race i had ever seen, and havent stopped watching since.

	It all started when I was three (1993). My mom's bf was a huge racing fan, and he introduced me to NASCAR, I was addicted and followed it cery closely untill 2001 when Sr. left us. Since then I haven't followed it quite as closely

	Genetics... In my family, if you weren't racing or watching racing, you spent most weekends all by your lonesome. Winston Cup racing (Oops, can we still say that?) entered the picture for me in the mid-70's.

	Gee, people have some really cool ways of how they got introduced here, I just go introduced by my step-father back in 03 or 04 when i was a Bobby fan, then switched to Kurt, now if kurt doesn't improve, im going to switch to Edwards. Now im hooked more than him and his son combined
