I have just found your site tonight while searching on how to get autographs from drivers on my cars. As I am disabled, it is difficult to go to places where drivers may be. If I make it to a race, I can’t go into the pit because no wheelchairs!!! So, I have been to one NASCAR race in my year of being a fan.
Our neighbor got my son involved in the sport last year. When he had to go to Nashville to meet Mr. Renski (whose business card he found at Bobby Hamilton’s Cafe on the square and called the number and Mr. Renski invited him over to meet him), I tagged along. I sat in my handicapped section while he did his thing. I was hooked!!!!
We had a NASCAR Christmas and I’ve spent several thousand dollars on Ebay for gifts for the neighbors and my son.
I have found NASCAR fans to be polite and very friendly. That is so different from a UT football game in Knoxville where the snotty people around you (when I used to be able to go) wouldn’t even speak to you next to them.
In Atlanta last Oct., we met so many wonderful people. At our motel where we did one night of cooking out, we met a pilot for one of the Red Baron planes who gave my son his hat and a man from Canada who ate with us. We had a good ole time.
I have read many of your posts and am replying to several different ones right now. :-)I bird walked as we say in teaching so let me get back to my point!!!!!

The drivers: Mark Martin has so much class. His son is a fine young man from what I see on FX following Mark this year. He is smart, articulate and humble.
I met Rusty Wallace on Thurs. as well as Martin Truex and Justin LaBonte. I was in my electric scooter and almost pulled a Tony Danza on Rusty. They were very kind to pause and let me take their picture.
And Liz Allison was also at the Bass Pro Shop. She is one nice lady.
Where else but NASCAR would you have a person come up to ask if they could help you? A lady did from the Nashville Speedway. That is how I got Martin’s autograph as he was about to leave.
I think the way in which the majority of the drivers portray themselves is admirable.
Given the number of times the Titans are spread across the Nashville media with arrest, NASCAR has some class acts.
Sincerely,
Nancy

Hey there, Nancy!

A warm welcome to you!

And THANK YOU so much for your posts. It is so good to know that the world of NASCAR is filling voids in other people’s lives too!

The only thing I feel terrible about is your having to endure the spam that follows some of these articles. :( I am told that there is nothing that can be done about them. I do try to delete the horrendous stuff they post, but as often as I do, they’re back. I was just beginning to close all of them so that no one can post replies; and here you are with your wonderful post.

I will keep this particular article open just for you, Nancy.

Please keep coming back and keep everyone updated on what’s going on in your lives.

Hugs,
Cheryl
