Selected Home Pages
Kyle Petty -- Pony tail, pierced ears and a killer grin. I don't think the NASCAR establishment knows what to do with him. Me, I root for him.
Dale Jarrett -- Maybe it's the daddy in me, but I got all choked up when Ned called his son's first Daytona victory.
Jeff Gordon -- Good-looking, rich, successful, beautiful wife. For all these reasons, fans seem to love him or hate him.
Dale Earnhart -- Like Jeff, they love him or hate him. He comes across as one of the last of the tough guys. New site coming soon.
Mark Martin -- Hard-working professional. I like to watch Mark drive.
Darrell Waltrip -- Give him good eqipment and he's there. His enjoyment is infectious.
Derrike Cope -- Derrike sat in front of me once on a flight out west. He and his crew were pumped, and by the time the plane landed, all us passengers were fans of his.
Johnny Benson -- Quiet and articulate. He'll keep moving up.
Buckshot Jones -- What a great name for a driver!
Dale Earnhardt Jr. -- As the year goes one, he's been showing a lot of class.
Matt Kenseth -- He's got all the moves. It won't take him long.
Patty Moise -- Busch driver, has made a couple of Winston Cup starts. The sport needs more women drivers. I can't believe the sponsors don't understand the demographics of stock car racing: half the fans are women.
Kat Teasdale -- Another woman starting out in Busch. Canadian, you know. She has a solid racing background.

Cristen Powell -- After a Top Fuel stint, Cristen is blasting down the track in the JCIT Funny Car.
