Choose a NASCAR driver for Ralph

[grizbeer]

I thought if we could help Ralph pick a favorite NASCAR driver he would get more interested in the "Sport". We need more information about Ralph's likes and dislikes, but this is what I know about Ralph with my limited knowledge:

1) He lives in the Chicago area
2) He likes the Cubs
3) He loves I-AA football

Based on this my early pick in Kurt Busch - Kurt was born in the Chicago area (but raised in Las Vegas) and is a huge Cubs fan, and is sponsored by Sharpie which was partially made (in)famous by I-AA Alumnus T.O. (o.k. that is a real stretch).

Ralph any other information (products you are loyal to, such as auto make, beverage, food, etc) or other information you want to share?

MARK MARTIN........WHY?.....YOU MAY ASK............DUH TRUNK FULL O' VIAGRA IN HIS 'OL # 6!.....xlolx.................ERK-UH-ERK-UH-ROOOOOO!

[ISUMatt]

Matt Kenseth...#17 matches Mark Grace

Mark Martin...#6 matches Al Kaline of his beloved Detroit Tigers

Dale Earnhardt Jr...#8 as in 1908, the last time the Cubs won the
World Series!!!

Kyle Petty...#45 as in the last yr the CUbs won the NL Pennant 1945

Kyle Busch...#5 as in outs remaining to the World Series in 2003 when Bartman happened and the Cubs choked vs the Marlins.

Just some suggestions!!!

ISUMatt, you are sooooo cruel (except for the #6 suggestion)!! I like the White Sox too, even if they are cheaters and disgraced baseball in the past. :)

Grizbeer, I am partial to Buicks, Mountain Dew and pizza if that helps.
Mountain Dew = Casey Kahne, #9, or Jeremy Mayfield #19
Pizza = Micheal Waltrip #15 (Domino's)

I'll have to think about Buick, they haven't raced in a while.

You know what they say, If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying!!!

Chevrolet/General Motors is cool, AC Spark Plug too.
Might want to look at Clint Boyer from Emporia KS who drives the #2 AC Delco Monte Carlo for Richard Childress in the Busch series. Associate sponsors include Snap-on, Sikkens, GM Goodwrench, Sylvania, and Timberland Pro. Other Childress cars are sponsored by Cingular Wireless, Jack Daniels, and Reeses/Payday Candy, but no Pizza or Mountain Dew.

Boyer is a good driver, #2 in the points, and will probably move up to the Cup series in 2007, but no apparent I-AA connection.

Michal Waltrip drives the #15 NAPA auto parts Monte Carlo, and is also sponsored by Domino's Pizza, is from Ownesboro KT, where Western Kentucky U has a branch campus. (Jeremy Mayfield and Jeff Green are also from Owensboro, but they drive Dodge's.)

How about a favorite number, maybe jersey number?

What's your favorite liquor ralph.. that might help when choosing a car/sponsor

[Eaglegus2]

I should mention that my company designed and engineered the www.racingone.com and the old speedleague.com websites/applications so I know a bit about auto racing. How good is Harvick (#29 is AP on the Bears)?

Harvick may be a good chose for you.

Ralph,

Are you still having trouble finding a date? How about #24 Jeff Gordon? I don't think he's gotten laid in a while either. ;) :D

[Purple Knight]

Pick a winnerfor me Bobby! 48 and 24 most of the time.

I always was partial to Dick Trickle (who was from near-by Wisconsin). Maybe someone could give mine and Keith Olbermann's favorite driver another ride.

[Mr. C]

Ralph, is there something you need to tell us about Gillian Anderson? Don't tell me, she is sponsoring a NASCAR driver?

[Grizo406]

I'd choose Tony Stewart for ralph.
