About Mark »

I'm an 19 year old male college student attending the University of Toledo. I love sports and look forward to writing my thoughts down for you all to read. My allegiance basically lies in Detroit although I live in Ohio. I'm a die-hard Tigers, Pistons, Red Wings fan. For the NFL I root for the Packers. Nascar might be my favorite sport of them all and my driver is #88 Dale Jr. For me, there's no better feeling than having 43 stock cars fly by my body when I'm in stands at MIS, and when I went Indianapolis. There's just something in the air when you pull up to Indy, that you know you're in a historic place and are usually in for a great race (except for the Goodyear debacle of 2008)

Do you go to the Indy 500 or just The Brickyard? I went to all three events last year. The motorcycles are actually really cool to watch.
