Wow, that's a dangerous question to ask these days? Did you hear how many boo's he got when he won that race? Burn outs....good, snow angels on the infield....bad!!!!!!!
My #1 is Carl Edwards. I also like Jamie McMurray & Tony Stewart.They are my top 3 .
To be honest and no offense to the fan's of the following driver's ,but the only driver's I don't pull for is Dale Jr,Jeff Gordon,Jimmie Johnson,Kyle Busch,Martin Truex,Jeff Burton & Dale Jarrett
I really pull for Kenseth, Martin and Truex Jr., my sentimental favorite is Ken Schraeder although he doesn't finish in the top 5 much anymore.
Martin used to race in my area(Missouri) when I was a kid, he really wasn't much more than a kid himself then. He was always coming into Missouri and mixing it up with a local legend Larry Phillips (# 75 late models). Every once in a while Rusty Wallce would be there too. I think if you ever have a chance to talk with those two "oldtimers" they would remember racing Larry Phillips at the Springfield Missouri Fairgrounds race track. I don't remember Schraeder ever being there, but he was from a little further North in Missouri.
My favorite driver is Kevin "Happy" Harvick. Ever since the late great Dale Earnhardt Sr. died and Harvick showed he could step up his game. Harvick was the first ever to do full cup and busch schudule. 2001 Busch Champion and Winston Cup Rookie of the Year. I also root for Client Bowyer, Jeff Burton, Burney Lamar, Tony Stewart, Ron Hornaday, and Robby Gordon.
