About Brian »

A die hard NASCAR fan with an extensive collection of books,die-cast, & knowledge of what some people like to refer to as a "non-sport". Been following NASCAR since approx. 1995 and have been to two races live, 1998 in Michigan, and froze my a** off this year, 2008, in Martinsville with my g/f, her First race. I do watch other forms of racing, F1, Craftsman Truck, Busch.......sorry......Nationwide, and try to get to my local short tracks as often as I can. I also raced myself in 2 stroke 125cc. go-karts for two seasons with some success. Gotta also add that I went to Watkins Glen this year, (2008) , thats 13 hours of driving for 3 1/2 hours of racing.....a fan......I think so........Peace.........

Brian,

OK, so I'm the new Community Leader for the Nationwide Series — the newest community here on B/R... and I'd like to formally invite you to join the community and help me make it grow.

http://bleacherreport.com/nationwide-series

Whether you want to write, comment or do both, I'd like to have you as a member of the community to give the series some well deserved attention.

This season looks to be another wild one as several Cup regulars crash the part while the likes of Brad Keselowski and Jason Keller try and keep the big boys from bullying them.

So come join me in the Nationwide Series Community — and don't forget to tag any Nationwide Stories with the appropriate tag now!

Ben

Check out my latest story:

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/117149-mark-martin-already-a-champion

It's a feature I wrote on Martin on how even though he lacks the championship trophy, he is still a champion of NASCAR.

Thanks.
