Rusty Fan Stories

It was Destiny By: Darlene Well here is my little neat story of how I became a NASCAR and Rusty Wallace fan: My brother's girlfriend first really got him into racing (She's a Bill Elliott fan and he was a Davey Allison fan and now a Mark Martin fan). Well my dad who does not really care too much about racing decided that he was going to pick on my brother a little bit, LOL. So he looked through the starting lineup of a race in the sports section of his newspaper one Sunday and he saw the name Rusty Wallace. My dad liked the name so he picked him out and told my brother that Rusty was going to win the race.  Neither one of us knew anything about racing. I can remember when I was littler my dad flipping through the tv stations and watching a little of the Daytona 500 or something, but that's it. And at the time, my dad had no clue that Rusty was one of the top drivers in NASCAR, he just liked the name, LOL. Well over the next few weeks after that, my dad listened to the races (we don't have cable so at the time we just listened to them on the radio). And sure enough, Rusty did win a race and of course my dad had to rub it in with my brother :o) My dad soon lost interest and quit listening, but I had got hooked. I would turn the radio to the race on Sunday every chance that I got and of course I just stuck with Rusty. I began to slowly learn more and more about NASCAR and Rusty. And I continued to pull for Rusty because the more I learned, the more I liked him as a driver and a person. It soon became a normal Sunday afternoon event for me to turn the radio on and listen to the race and I'd watch it on tv whenever the network stations would carry a race. I became a more avid fan with every race. My brother and his girlfriend soon realized how much I was getting into racing so they told me that whenever they were home to come and watch the race on tv with them. So I took them up on that offer. Now, I watch just about every race, qualifying, and practice session at my brother's house which I call my second home :o) I guess we are the three racing Musketeers, LOL. You can say that I became a fan by luck, but I believe that it was just meant to be. Being a NASCAR and Rusty Wallace fan has been and continues to be such a great experience. I love it with all my heart and its definitely a part of my life that I cherish. Back to Stories Page
