What got you watching NASCAR???

May be...

I honestly couldn't tell you, I just started watching it and fell in love with it.

Edit: Sorry Disney Fanatic, accidentally thumbs downed you. You get two thumbs up from me.

My dad, I use to say watching cars going round and round, there is no fun in that.....Ya right, now I am pretty sure I am a bigger fan then he is :D

My dad. When I was really young. I was like 6.

You and me both. I played the video game NASCAR 07 for PS2 and said
"I'm gonna watch a real race"

I watched a race and man it was the start of something big

My dad. He never missed a race on t.v. when I was growing up. We live not too far from Bristol. He took me to my first race when I was fourteen. Been watching ever since.

I got into it by playing the video game NASCAR 98 when i was 10 years old

When I met Dale Sr. on I95 South and chatted with him at a rest stop. He said I should watch and I did because I wanted to see just who this guy was. Been hooked ever since.

Well I remember as a kid I watched some NASCAR, but thought nothing of it. Years later, I somehow found myself watching the IndyCar Series (perhaps by watching the Indy 500?) and I got hooked on it. After the season was over (they have a shorter season) I watched a NASCAR race and was hooked. Haven't watched IndyCar since...

Well I am a huge sports fan but I didn't realize it until last year (if that makes any sense). I was in one of those moods where I wanted to watch a sporting event no matter what it was and it just so happened that there was a race on. So I watched it and I loved it! My favorite driver instantly became Carl Edwards and has stayed that way ever since. : )

about 20 years ago I used to drive past this house that had their black lumina parked in the front yard (on Sundays) with decals on it exactly like Dale Earnhardts car. I had to watch and see what would possess someone to do that. I was hooked and I have been, and still am, a Dale Sr. fan and a NASCAR fan

I used to build street-racing cars, and race them. Now I just kick back and watch the pros.

It was the 1988 Daytona 500. I was 15, I watched it at my boyfriend's house. His family were all NASCAR fans, they got me hooked.
That boyfriend is now my husband..

My dad got me into watching it full time in 2002 and I've been a fan ever since. Before that I watched only a few races every now and then.

Always kind of pay attention to it, but could never watch the whole race. It wasn't until my wife started watching it about four years ago that I really got into it. Especially great watching it on Hot Pass.

Family watched it when I was growing up. I watched since I was 2. I grew up watching Dale Earnhardt. Been a fan for 28 years.

I can always remember my dad watching NASCAR and one time I didn't have anything else to do so I watched a race with him! I would just watch one or two with him a year then I finally just watched like almost all of them one year and I really loved it and now I rarely miss a race! So I would have to say my dad got me into NASCAR!

a video game it was NASCAR Racing 4
i was 10 too
weird

I guess friends/family. I was over at a friends house with my brother when I was 12 and everyone was watching the race. I had no choice but to watch it that day. They were racing at the Glen and after about 40 laps of being insanely bored I started to get into it. Ever since then I've been hooked :)

I would watch it in the 70's with Richard, Cale , and the gang every time it was on TV. You have to remember at that time we only had 3 channels so racing was not on like it is today.

I was 3 years old and my parents got me an AMT model of Cale Yarborough's 1973 Chevrolet Laguna Kar-Kare #11. Became a fan of his from that day...he will always be my favorite driver.

I am also very happy that Cale was the first driver to "take America with him" to win the Daytona 500 in 1983 and repeat the next year again with a camera in his car (only a couple of cars had cameras in them back then and it was one camera not 6 in a car) again.

Cale, Richard, David, Bobby, Donnie, Benny, AJ...the list goes on...they were Racers.

Today there are only a couple I would give that title to. Most are whiners that if the car is not handling perfect you better turn down the radio if you are crew chief.
