Personalities: NASCAR Tracks vs. Fans; Identity Comparison Explanation
They say that all tracks in NASCAR have an Individual Personality,,, Fans are very well known for their Personalities and the Traits that come with each and every distinct individual,,, Some tracks even have a Nick-Name,, most being well known like the upcoming race in Darlington,, the Lady in Black (The Track Too Tough To Tame),, others are just as well known,, so there is really no need to give all as examples,, I am a hoping you are a getting my point,,,,
Question came to my feeble old mind the other day about what track could I be compared to as far as Personality Wise,, would I be a long fast superspeedway with long winding turns with no banking,, or same but with a banking turns,,,, fat but short on the straits,, short on the turns,, would I be ugly,,, pretty as the new asphalt on Darlington,, would I be forgiving,, or possibly mean with absoluteness without forgiveness,, would I be a 500 miler,, 300,, or would I go to the Nationwide Series and be a little slower,, less extreme on every aspect,, what track would I be,, would I be one from the Sprint,, Nationwide,, Craftsman Trucks,, or possibly even the local dirt tracks that leave spectators eating dirt and asking,, no begging for more,,, just one more,,
In today’s racing the attention is mostly focused on a driver or team,, some rare occasion a track is mentioned,, but,, Tracks determine more than most think,, the track’s particulars,, their personalities can make or even break a streak and leave drivers and teams alike asking what the Heck went wrong,, you don’t know the track you might as well go home and watch them boys on TV,, they knew the track,, it’s very being,, some tracks,, at times,, it is like they are alive and know what is happening,, some even have their own favorites (certain drivers do great on certain tracks) that they seem to make sure are always up front when the Checkered is waved,, So it is not hard to think of a track as if were a real live thing,, a being all its own,,, which leads me to ask this question for you to answer,, if you think you can,
If you were a NASCAR Track,, which one would you be (no it does not have to be a big one,, locals work too),,, why that track,, what characteristics do you have in common,, or similar to,, what makes you that one,, oh yea,, by the way,, what would your Nick-Name be,, why,, what makes you think that you are that name,, easy, children,, they are watching,,,, explanations are a must here people,, don’t make me crawl through this here computer screen and show ya,, I will you know,,

Morning Thunder
There is a track in Longview Texas,called The Rose bowl.
Sweet little 1/2 mile dirt track. Turns are short in long out. You have to get into the turns sideways. And lean on some one coming out to make the straight.
Her nickname was(Rose ball)She could turn your car into a ball of twisted medal in a heart beat.
But if you WON…...SHE WAS THE SWEETIST TRACK AROUND.
I guess my personality is like that track.
SWEET! (BUT CAN) BITE!

What track...?
I’m still learning about Nascar so I don’t think I could choose a track that would be similar to my personality. I need some more time getting to know the sport and the tracks.
