My favorite drivers are nice on & off the track. It doesn't hurt things if they win every now & then, but that's not a requirement. They also need to be a clean racer & not try to boot the other cars off the track. Just an all-around nice person.

I like the way Obie said it but I also like the under dogs. It’s always nice to see people like Hud Cone, Kyle Cummins, Arin McIntosh, Chase Stockon (did I spell Stockon right Sam?) and others do more with less. It’s always cool to see these guys mix it up with the high $$$ usac guys.

I've been watching racing for a long time and don't know if I ever remember a racer that has electrified race fans and has been liked by the masses, more than Daron Clayton. He flat out owns the crowd at Haubstadt and pretty much does at Terre Haute, too.

I've never met anybody that says they don't like Shane Cottle. And there's only one known Dave Darland hater in the World.

And on the other side of the coin, Kevin Swindell is as much of a universally disliked driver, as I've ever seen.

Obie pretty much nailed it. I also went by how drivers treated my kids when they were growing up. Thats why Stewart is aces by me , along with Dave Darland. They always treated my boys good.

anybody that will take time from what there doing to talk to you even for just a couple seconds, and im not talking about signing an autograph. im talking about actually talking to someone thats why im such a big shane cottle fan:thumb

A vague sense that you really know who they are based on a collection of anecdotes and maybe in a few cases a real personal experience with them

As a kid I was a fan of Rich Vogler and that pretty much led to be a fan of the drivers that ran for Hoffman after Rich. I think my first racing t shirt was from when Steve Butler ran the Hoffman car. I was also a fan of Kevin Briscoe at weekly shows at Haubstadt. Now its basically a hometown deal and seeing Levi become a champion in a series that I grew up watching Jeff Gordon, Kenny Irwin and Tony Stewart race in.

So who do you "cheer" and "boo" for? :Steer
