Believe it or not, I wasn’t always a NASCAR fan.\u00a0 My sister had been to a race at Pocono Raceway in Pennsylvania in ’95, and it\u00a0piqued my curiosity.\u00a0 I watched a few races here and there, but it wasn’t until\u00a0a year\u00a0later\u00a0when I attended my very own first race that I was truly hooked.<\/p>\n

Until then, my knowledge of the sport was pretty limited.\u00a0 I had heard the names Davey Allison and Alan Kulwicki before, two of the sport’s biggest stars (Kulwicki being the champion in ’92) that were killed in separate aviation accidents a couple years earlier.\u00a0 I also knew that NASCAR race cars were full-bodied, unlike the “canoe with wheels” approach by Indy Cars and Formula One.\u00a0 That was about the extent of it, however.<\/p>\n

Kyle Petty’s No Fear Racing <\/em>was my\u00a0introduction to the sport, and it pretty much\u00a0couldn’t have been further from the real thing.<\/p>\n
