I dont have a favorite anymore, I like Mark Martin now, but not a favorite. I started following the drivers that took over after him in the MB2 M&Ms ride. I know what you mean, I became friends with driver that was full time in the Truck series, and after he left NASCAR, I stopped following the truck series, and couldn't go to any race's for awhile after words, I mean, I had to buy my own tickets again , I will give a hint who the driver is, he owns or runs Dillon motorspeedway in S.C.
I did build the hauler when I was a kid, but have not thought about it, tell now, thanks for the idea , I have not seen it at the local swap meets, but I see it ebay all the time.
Mike, I wonder that too, even after his wreck, he could still win , so I am going to guess that if not for the accident, I could see him winning a championship. But as much as I was a fan of his, I am glad he retired when he did, and push it, he left driving with respect.
