At the center of this phenomenon
called NASCAR lies the beating heart of the beast, the
ones who bring the excitement to life, and put their
lives on the line to bring it to us.
NASCAR drivers
are some of the most loved professional athletes in
North America, rivaling the biggest names in Basketball,
Football and Baseball. Few names in the world bring
to mind the vivid imagery that 'Earnhardt' does, and
it's as much of a household name in North America as
Tiger Woods.
In this section we take a look at some
of NASCARS most prolific drivers, including some biography
information, photos and links to good fan pages. From
here you can learn more about your favorite NASCAR drivers,
and perhaps discover something you didn't know.
Generally
NASCAR drivers don't receive the same media attention
as other sport superstars. Maybe it's because you don't
need to be seven feet tall or look like a model to be
successful in NASCAR, and the media isn't interested
in much else. But NASCAR fans are certainly interested,
remaining more faithful and dedicated to their favorite
drivers than any other fan base. The only sport that
compares worldwide is soccer, and even then things are
different, as people may love a team instead of a player.
With NASCAR it's about two things, an individual's talent,
and their racing team's commitment. An outstanding driver
won't have trouble finding a dedicated team to work
with, but it can be awfully hard for up and coming drivers.
For this reason we have chosen some up and comers to
feature here, so you can get to know the next great
driver before the rest of the world.
