I admit, I wasn't a fan at first. I used to call it Neck-car and make other jokes about it but it wasn't until I started watching it that I learned to appreciate the hard work and talent that it takes to be involved in it. Then I went to my first race, and I was HOOKED.
Now also being a woman I do have to tell you that there is definitely some eye candy in the pits and on top of the pitboxes but today I'm going to concentrate on the "talent" behind the wheel.
So here they are, in no particular order:
HERMIE SADLER:
He's what Van Halen sings about in their song Poundcake; home grown and down-home. He's not as well known or as successful on the race track as his younger brother but personally I think he's MUCH better looking and has loads more personality. And he 'rassles in the United Wrestling Federation so you know there's some muscle under that firesuit!
JAMIE MCMURRAY:
A couple of years ago in an episode of NASCAR 360; young Mr. McMurray was shopping for clothes to wear to a country awards show that he was scheduled to appear at. Off came his shirt and down went my chin. You have to understand, Jamie is a tiny guy...who knew he was a such a stacked little package with pecs and tight abs to boot! Notice Anna Porni-kova even appreciates him!
KASEY KAHNE:
Kasey came onto the scene not too long ago and was immediately thrust into the spotlight by being named one of the countries hottest bachelors. Since then young girls every where have been following this sport even though they're not old enough to drive. You have to wonder though: are his eyebrows really that thin or does he have them waxed?
JIMMIE JOHNSON:
Such a great NASCAR name; he's my sisters favorite driver just for that reason. Gotta love the wooley bears and he cleans up nice too. Jimmie set himself up to be hated by most NASCAR fans because he's good looking, isn't from the south, he annunciates but mostly because he's Jeff Gordon's team mate and protege.
JEFF GORDON:
Okay, bring it on all you haters! What's the latest? He's spoiled, he's a whiner, he's over-rated, he's gay? Please. I was even told by a friend of mine
who works in NASCAR that the moment he and his wife split Jeff was basically living like Hugh Hefner. I was fortunate enough to meet him a few seasons ago and considering what a big star he is I would've understood if he was the biggest dick on the planet. As it turns out, he was anything but.TONY STEWART:
Okay, Tony is FAR from being what's considered classically handsome but his looks are not why we like Smoke. He's an A #1 smart ass which gives him far more points than his mug. I did look back a few years and found a picture of him that doesn't include a double chin; not bad! 
RYAN NEWMAN:
Yeah, he doesn't have a neck but he's got a degree in engineering, a lead foot and he loves dogs. Not to mention he's far better looking in person than any picture I've ever seen of him.
SCOTT RIGGS:As one writer mentioned, you have to love those Steve McQueen sideburns and his "aww shucks" demeanor. Riggsy is definitely one of the good guys; approachable, personable and down-right adorable. The Daytona 500 wasn't the same without him.
PAUL MENARD:
His cool presence, his huge brown eyes and hip facial hair. I consider Paul the most overlooked driver in the Busch series. That's what happens when you're the low man on the totem pole at DEI. I'm sure he doesn't mind flying under the radar, but I noticed him!
CASEY MEARS:
Don't let his good guy looks and attitude fool you! I'm
sure there's some bad-boy in this charming prince of a racer and that's what makes him irresistible!and last but not least, CARL EDWARDS:
There are some drivers who can keep their shirts on (Dale Jr) but Carl,....help me out here ladies; I'm a bit speechless. I'm sure Amanda Beard dates him for his personality!
