Dale Earnhardt Jr. has, perhaps, the most recognized name currently involved in the sport of racing.

Known for his good looks and charm, especially with female fans, Dale Earnhardt Jr. is most well known as the driver of the number 8 Budweiser machine; however, that all changes in 2008. Due to a team change, Junior will now be the driver of the number 88, with main sponsors of Mountain Dew Amp and the National Guard.
Jeff Gordon is another popular NASCAR driver. In fact, his name is also a common household name. Jeff Gordon blew, literally, on the racing circuit in the 1990s and saw success almost immediately. In fact, many NASCAR drivers wished that they saw the success that Jeff Gordon did when he first started racing.
Jeff Gordon is driver of the number 24 DuPont and Pepsi machine. He is a driver for the ever successful Hendrick Motorsports. With six championship wins at the end of the 2007 season, Jeff Gordon has shows no sign of stopping, in terms of achieving the ultimate level of success.
Jimmie Johnson is another well known and successful NASCAR driver who is a part of the Hendrick Motorsports team. Jimmie Johnson is the holder of the 2006 NASCAR championship. As with many other NASCAR drivers, Johnson got his start with racing on an amateur level at a young age. His choice of vehicle was motorcycles, which according to the NASCAR website, he started racing at the age of four!
Mark Martin, although much older in age and wiser in maturity than that of many of today’s most popular NASCAR drivers, is still popular in his own right. For many NASCAR fans, especially those who have followed the sport since the early 1990’s, Martin is a driver that many all known and love. At the end of the 2007 season, Mark Martin has a total thirty-five career wins. Perhaps, most well known for his days in behind the wheel of the Valvoline machine, Martin will spend 2008 driving for Team D.E.I.
Kasey Kahne is another up and coming NASCAR driver that is gaining the attention of fans. In 2004, Kahne raced in all three NASCAR series, including NASCAR, BUSCH, and the Craftsman Truck Series. With Dale Earnhardt Jr. changing teams, Kasey Kahne and his 9 car have acquired the sponsorship of Budweiser, which is a move that is sure to increase his exposure, as well as his fan base.
Additional NASCAR drivers worth the mention include Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch, Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick, and Bobby Labonte, just to name a few.

5 Reasons A NASCAR fan should attend a live race
Greetings
Are you a NASCAR fan? If you are, have you ever attended a live race event before? If you have yet to do so, you don’t know what you are missing. All NASCAR fans are encouraged to attend a live race event, even if they only get the opportunity to do so once in their life.
Although it is nice to hear that you should attend a NASCAR race live and in-person, you may be wondering what is so important about doing so. After all, you may be content with watching NASCAR races on television and from the comfort of your own home. Even so, there are still a number of reasons why you should at least consider attending a live race. In fact, five reasons why are outlined below.
1 – The Options You Have
When looking to attend a NASCAR race, you will find that you have an unlimited number of options. For starters, you will have over twenty races to choose from. These races take place at different racetracks all across the United States. No matter where you live, you should have at least one NASCAR track that is located a somewhat reasonable distance away from your home.
2 – Ease of Acquiring Tickets
In addition to having options when looking to choose a NASCAR race to attend, you also have a number of options when buying your tickets. The safest way to buy NASCAR tickets is directly through the track in question. With that being said, you do have more options. These other options include through online ticket websites and online auction websites. Many ticket holders who are unable to attend the race that they have tickets for later turn to their local newspaper classified sections to sell their tickets.
3 – Can Turn a NASCAR Event into Much More
Although many NASCAR fans attend a Saturday night or Sunday race and go back home, there are many more who choose to make a whole weekend out attending a race. For example, many NASCAR fans are RV owners or they arrange for rentals. Many NASCAR tracks have nearby campgrounds and RV parks, which are perfect for weekend trips. Throwing tailgating parties is another fun, before the race, activity that hundreds of NASCAR fans enjoy.
4 – Can Meet Other NASCAR Fans
As previously stated, many NASCAR fans have fun tailgating parties before NASCAR races. In fact, this is common practice. When hosting a small barbeque or party before a NASCAR race, you will likely get to meet a large number of other NASCAR fans. These are individuals who you can develop friendships with, should you wish. Many NASCAR fans end up attending future races with those that they have met and developed friendships with.
5 – Will Be the Experience of a Life Time
For many NASCAR fans, there is nothing better than being able to attend a live NASCAR race. In fact, many diehard NASCAR fans say that true race fans will go out of their way to do so. No matter when or how to you make it to a NASCAR race, you will be glad you did. Attending a live NASCAR race, especially for the first time, is an experience that you will likely never forget. There is nothing more fun and exciting than sitting in the stands with thousands of other cheering fans and hearing over forty cars round the track.
