How long have you been following racing:  5 years

How did you get started:  As a non-race fan, I got free tickets to a Richmond Busch race…..that’s all it took and I was hooked.

Who was your first favorite driver, and why:   Dale Jr - I liked his personality and he had a cool paint scheme. 

Who is your favorite now, and why:  Dale Jr. – He is an extremely talented driver and I appreciate how he handles himself on and off the track.  Jr. fans are proud fans!  Also, he is a fan favorite because he always keeps us interested! 

What is your favorite driver’s best racing moment:   Winning the Daytona 500!

How many races do you attend a year:  I try to attend at least one Cup and one Busch race a year. 

Best race you ever saw on TV or in person:  Best race I saw was on TV…Jr. winning the Pepsi 400!

What is your favorite track for racing:  Richmond

If your favorite driver came to your town, where would take him and what would you do:  There’s absolutely nothing to do in my town so I’d have to take him to nearby Raleigh for a Carolina Hurricanes game.   

If you worked at DEI, what would you like to do:  Anything….it would be an honor just to work there!  But if I had to choose, I’d like to work with the paint and decal schemes on the cars. 

If you ran NASCAR for a day, what rule would you change, add or delete:  Drivers could only be fined points for spec infractions or intentional physical contact with another driver’s car or body.   Words that they say during or after a race should only carry a monetary fine.   Only take points if it directly affects the race itself.
