    Favorite Drivers

    Who is your favorite driver(s) and why do you root for them? Thinking about it, I guess I root for three drivers on the national scene. Josh Richards (my in laws live close to the Rocket shop, and I had a chance to meet him there). TMac (loved him from his dirt modified days and his Dad, Barefoot Bob, was one of my favorites growing up) and Rick Eckert (he is the closest national driver who lives near me.....need a PA driver to root for).

    I have a tendency to root for the guys who came from big block modifieds because I grew up watching big blocks. It's kinda sad that McCreadie is really the only one left on the national scene.

      Josh, that is my background as well. Did you see Tim Fuller won at Volusia the other night in the big block modifieds?

        Mike Marlar. Live pretty close to him, great bunch of people on his team including Mike himself, and a hell of a driver.

        Also pull for Randy Weaver as he's a local guy as well as Madden simply because not many folks around this area seem to like him, and I love watching them get mad when he wins in East Tennessee.

        Michael Chilton and Dustin Linville are a couple more I pull for when I get up into Kentucky. Had the chance to talk to Chilton on a few occasions and he's a good ole boy.

          Yep. It's good to see. His return to mods last year was less than stellar. It's good to see him back to being competitive. I'd much prefer to see him back in a late model though.

            On a national level its Scott Bloomquist. One of, if not the best ever. Plus he always keeps things interesting. On a regional level, gotta go with Dustin Linville. If anyone has ever meet or talked to him at the track, you know why. A down to earth guy, who takes time for his fans.

              Nationally - Davenport, I liked him way before his dominance last year. Loved how he always ran so hard.

              Around my area I tend to root for Derek Doll, Jared and Jacob Hawkins.

                      T-MAC from dirt mods in central ny. His dad BAREFOOT along w LOU LAZARRO were my favorites so il always b a mccreadie fan.

                      SUPERMAN started watching him down here in the carolinas and really liked his style. I have friends that are close to him also. But most of all hes just that
