I don't watch NASCAR nearly as much as I once did.

Now I try and get outside more. But I probably will watch the Daytona 500.

Last season I played a game online called "Finish line frenzy" I used the name "Nascarjunkie" and came in second place.Could have done better,but I missed the first 3 races before I found out about the game. http://www.kptv.com/Global/link.asp?L=111883 I am hoping they have it going on again this year.If anyone would like to play,save the link and sign up.You pick 5 drivers every week.They give away prizes like DVD players,die-cast cars and t-shirts.So,come on over and give it a try.

Jeff Gordon and Jimmy Johnson.I'm a Kenseth fan #17.My best friend is a huge J.Johnson fan,so we are always flipping each other $h*t.Gordon and Johnson both did very well last year.Matt Kenseth started the season out really good,then then had a bad second half.

Ever see the movie Days of Thunder?
I loved the scene where Robert Duval is talking to the frame of the car, telling it everything he's going to do to it to make it the fastest on the track.

LOL,Dan I have that movie memorized.That is a good scene.And I really do love that movie,all though factually I could tear it apart.Nobody drives the same car for a whole season.When they are supposably racing at Martinsville you can see Daytona on the wall.

I know, it was a Hollywood/Tom cruise thing all the way...
But yeah, Duval's portrayal of a builder and good ol' boy was amazing.
The chick cop scene comes to mind too

My favorite Driver Matt Kenseth

Birthdate March 10, 1972
Marital Status Married
Family
Wife Katie

Children Ross
Birthplace Cambridge, WI
Residence Mooresville, NC


Driver of the #17 DEWALT Ford Taurus

Like many successful drivers, Matt Kenseth’s family introduced him to racing. “My dad made me a deal when I was 13. He would buy me a race car and drive it if I would work on it and keep it up. Then, when I turned 16, I could drive the car,” says Matt. “It was hard work, but it was also a great experience and really prepared me to do more than just steer the car.”

Born and raised in Cambridge, Wisc., Kenseth began his racing career at the age of 16, winning his first feature event in only his third race. By the age of 19, Kenseth was racing against the likes of Dick Trickle, Ted Musgrave and Rick Bickle in the Wisconsin late model ranks. With a win in LaCrosse, Wisc., Kenseth set a new record for being the youngest winner in ARTGO Challenge Series history, a distinction previously held by his future teammate Mark Martin.

Kenseth took the Wisconsin racing ranks by storm in the early 1990s, winning races and track titles at venues all across Wisconsin, including the Madison International Speedway and Wisconsin International Raceway in Kaukauna. In 1994 Matt became the youngest driver ever to win the prestigious Miller Genuine Draft National championships.

Following another Wisconsin track title in 1995 and successful runs in NASCAR All Pro Series (1995), the Hooters Series (1996) and the ASA Series (1997), Kenseth got a fateful call in 1997 from a fellow Wisconsin racer, Robbie Reiser, who asked Kenseth to drive for his team in the NASCAR Busch Series.

The Kenseth-Reiser tandem debuted on April 19, 1997, at the Nashville Speedway, where Kenseth drove the No. 17 Reiser Enterprises Monte Carlo to an 11th place finish. Kenseth went on to capture two top-five and seven top-10 finishes in 21 starts and finished second in the Rookie of the Year battle.

In 1998, Kenseth’s first full Busch Series season, he finished second in the championship points battle with three wins and made his first Nextel Cup start. Substituting for Bill Elliott in the McDonald’s Ford at Dover Downs in September, Kenseth drove to a remarkable sixth-place finish in only his first run with NASCAR’s elite.

Kenseth’s Nextel Cup schedule expanded in 1999 as he made five starts for Roush Racing in the No. 17 DEWALT Tools Ford and pulled double duty in a quest for a Busch Series championship, finishing third.

The 2000 season was a breakout year for Kenseth as he joined the Nextel Cup Series full-time. He captured his first career victory at the Coca-Cola 600 at Lowe’s Motor Speedway and earned four top-five and 11 top-10 finishes en route to a 14th place finish in the championship point standings. His matchless consistency earned him Raybestos Rookie of the Year honors.

His sophomore campaign hit a slump early in the season but finished strong with three top-five finishes in the last six races of the season and a 13th-place finish in the championship point standings. Led by Reiser, Kenseth’s pit crew set a world record in winning the Unocal 76/Rockingham World Pit Crew Competition, outpacing 24 other teams for the honor.

In 2002, Kenseth registered a series-best five victories but sub-par performances and a lack of consistency kept the championship out of reach. Kenseth’s crew won its second straight Unocal 76/Rockingham World Pit Crew Competition with another world record, conducting a full pit stop in 16.81 seconds.

Kenseth, Reiser and Roush Racing made it all click in 2003 as the No. 17 DEWALT Tools Ford team won the final Winston-era Cup Championship with a record-setting performance. Kenseth only won once in 2003 (Las Vegas), but his consistency kept the rest of the field at bay. With a series-best 23 top-10 finishes and 11 top-five finishes, Kenseth led the championship point standings for a record-breaking 34 straight weeks en route to Roush Racing’s first ever Cup title.

Kenseth and the DEWALT team picked up in 2004 exactly where they finished in 2003 – in top form. Kenseth won two of the first three races of the season (Rockingham and Las Vegas) and the team appeared poised for a repeat. After qualifying for the season-ending 10-race Chase for the Nextel Cup, Kenseth and the team struggled to finish strong in the last 10 races and ended the season eighth in the championship point standings.

Richard Petty
Career: 1958-92

The undisputed "King" of stock car racing with 200 NASCAR Winston Cup Series wins, Petty won seven series championships during his 35-year career.

In the most remarkable season in NASCAR history, Petty won 27 of 48 races -- including a record 10 straight -- and finished second seven times in cruising to the 1967 title. Petty led 41 of the 48 races in the 1967 season and of the 12,739 laps he completed, 5,537 were leading the field.

Seven of Petty's 200 wins were in the Daytona 500 and notched the final win of his career in the Firecracker 400 at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway on July 4, 1984.

Seven of Petty's 200 wins were in the Daytona 500 and notched the final win of his career in the Firecracker 400 at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway on July 4, 1984.

Petty ranks first in numerous NASCAR Winston Cup all-time categories: all-time wins (200), races started (1,184), top-five finishes (555), top-10 finishes (712), pole positions (126), laps completed (307,836), laps led (52,194), races led (599) and consecutive races won (10). In 1992, Petty was inducted into Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway's Court of Legends. Five years later, Petty was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in Talladega Ala.
