Cool Newbie

My name is Terri and I have been a Nascar fan since 1993. My first favorite driver was Davey Allison. Sadly I only got to pull for him for 5 month's .As you can see by my screen name I'm now a Carl Edwards fan .Carl's personality and driving style remind me a lot of Davey.

My favorite track is Talladega. I have been there twice . I've also been to Atlanta 1 time and may be going again in 2008.I've been to Charlotte 3 times and to Bristol 3 times.


I never miss a race. I also follow the Busch and Truck series .

Re: Newbie

I think you should be good to do so now. If it doesn't show up right away, I may need to approve the first couple before they appear live.

Re: Newbie

Welcome to the site Terri. I like Carl Edwards also. he is not my favorite, but he helped me out alot. I had a pool at work and evervbody picked drivers. Whoever had the driver with the highest finish won. Edwards won for me 3 straight times.

What is the best place to see a race. I have been wanting to go to one. Friends keep telling me to stay away from the Poconos. Are there any you would recommend.

Hi Azrael,

I would have to say Talladega. Not just because its my favorite but also because there is constant action going on ,plenty of room where driver's can pass and the place is HUGE!

They have a motorsports museum next to the track and while there we went to Hueytown ,Alabama where Davey Allison grew up . Got to see his boyhood home ,his dad Bobby's race shop as well as the beautiful home that Davey had built during the off season in 1992 .We also ate at Davey favorite place"The Iceburg" now called the "Home Track" .We also went to Davey's gravesite .

I would also suggest Charlotte,NC .I mean you can't go wrong there .They have the Speed Street Festival that leads up to the race and then there are all of the race shop's to visit .Both the festival and the race shop's are free .

Re: Newbie

Hi Bears ,

I saw on I believe it was "Nascar Now" they chose Carl as one of the guy's to be in contention for the Brickyard . I guess it all depends on how well he is able to race due to his dislocated thumb . Hope they doctor him up well .I've seen alot of other driver's get in the car with injuries far worse . They always say that to them being behind the wheel is the best medicine.

Carl was supposed to of ran in the open wheel sprint car's at ORP but set it out in stead to go easy on his hand . Like his cousin Ken Schrader he is a racer through and through. If it has 4 wheel's Carl and Kenny will race in it

Hi Newbie,
Glad you found us. Welcome to GTG.
