Profile:

My first experiences that captured my interest in racing were my Dad taking me to watch Midgets and Sprint cars race on the dirt at Haubstadt, IN. I became interested in Indy cars in my teens, attending numerous Indianapolis 500’s watching legends such as A.J. Foyt, the Unsers, Gordon Johncock, Johnny Rutherford, Rick Mears, Mario Andretti and others. I became hooked on NASCAR while at a family gathering crowded around a TV cheering on Jeff Gordon as he won the Inaugural Brickyard 400 in 1994. I am now a full blown NASCAR junkie. I spend WAY too much time reading and watching NASCAR articles, races, qualifying, practice sessions, fantasy leagues, chat rooms, collecting diecast, and living on Nascar.com. And now they created this community. My wife may never see me again!

Other interests:

Indianapolis Colts, Photography, Birding, Golf
