No, I only started seriously watching races in 1993 but I’ve seen some old races on tv, and yes, Dale Sr. was intimidating and all that you said! The first race we went to was the June Pocono race, my Father’s Day gift to my husband. It was the next race right after Davey Allison had died. Our first race and our guy won, we were thrilled for that. Him and Rusty battling it out, it was awesome!

We moved here to PA just over a year ago, now we are 8 miles away from the Pocono track! My sister lives outside of Chattanooga with access to Bristol and Talledega even, but she and her family aren’t in to Nascar..what a waste, lol!!

Now they all have to play nice. The last big fight I remember was between Harvick and I think it was Ricky Rudd, when Harvick flew over his car to get to Ricky

I haven't been to Pocono. I have been to Watkins Glen (NY) for a Nascar event. My first "live" race was in Charlotte, 1974.

I love Richmond, and am heading for Dover. Small tracks make for plenty of "rubbin" and lots of racin'!!! Plus, if you get good seats, you can see the whole track.

I take my motor home, but park elsewhere. I like to sleep!
