Do alot of Nascar diehards follow the NHRA & IRL too??

Question

NHRA drag racing ranks right up there behind Nascar for me.If you dont mind list your favorite NHRA and IRL driver too!

Mine: NHRA: Larry Dixon

IRL: Marco Andrettii

Answer 1

I do

NASCAR - Mikey

IRL - Helio

ARCA - Ken Butler

But I don't watch NHRA.

Answer 2

I basically follow almost all motorsports. My fav is NASCAR, follwed by Indy, dirt, motorcyle, IHRA, IHBA, then finally (ugh) F1.

Answer 3

indy racing was racing i followed till all of the cars became basically cookie cutter and mandated what engines had to be used, i was a fan of nhra till they started to put different manufacturers names on cars that are all using the same basic equipment. i hope nascar never makes me feel the same way about them, but they are getting close.

Answer 4

I follow most racing

NHRA: Ashley

IRL: Marco

Answer 5

I'm not sure if I qualify as a Nascar die hard, but I watch every race I can, and have been following the sport since the early 80s. I follow all forms of motorsports - SCCA, ALMS, IRL, NHRA, IHRA,F1, and everything else out there.

Answer 6

I've always followed open wheel, I've been to over 15 Indy 500's, go to the drags out here in Pomona as well..

NHRA- John & Ashley Force, all the gals in NHRA

IRL- Helio Castroneves, Graham Rahal, Danica

F1- Lewis Hamilton

Go Dale Jr & Hms

Answer 7

I follow any kind of racing! i love it all! i grew up a street away from Al Unser Jr so of course i follow IRL! my favs in IRL are Dan Weldon and scott dixon, i like the whole chip ganassi organization. thats why i like reed sorenson in Sprint series. Not a big fan of montoya though.

Answer 8

I enjoy any race amongst motorized vehicles. Lawnmower races can even be exciting. Semi tractor racing blows me away. Second to stock cars for me is the Australian V-8 Supercar series. It's like NASCAR on road courses. Maybe even a little better as the cars and drivers are dedicated solely to road courses. But all in all, NASCAR is in a class all by itself. Can I get an amen brothers and sisters? I used to love Supercross but I think the racing got boring once everybody went to thumpers. I even love the Soap Box Derby.

Answer 9

I do like the NHRA I have always loved top fuel.  I also like going to Laguna Sega for the different races there because its close.

Answer 10

I've tried to like drag racing.  I just dont get it at all.  I like the IRL to a certain degree.  F1 and MotoGP gets my full undivided attention when I'm not watching Nascar.

Answer 11

I can't say as I do. Perhaps I should start.

Rumor has it my Rowdy one might be going to F1 in a few years, I'll need to be educated.

Marco Andretti??How many of them are there??

Answer 12

NHRA yes love John Force and team...IRL...no not really

Answer 13

I love the Irl but I don't have a favorite driver yet. I do find myself pulling for that eye candy, I mean Danica Patrick, so that might be my answer. The NHRA, I love it but I don't understand the broadcast time so I don't know if what I am watching is a replay or not and I'm completely in the dark as to how the season works and the next race times.

Answer 14

I follow all forms of racing

I like Pro Stock in the NHRA and have no favorite driver

I like Scott Dixon in the IRL

Answer 15

I watch Nascar and NHRA. Truthfully I'd rather go to a NHRA race then a Nascar race. It's way cheaper and you got to go into the pits and even meet drivers.

Answer 16

i keep an eye on them, but not as close as nascar:

NHRA:

Top Fuel: Antron Brown & Hillary Will

Funny Car: John & Ashley Force, Melanie Troxel

Pro Stock: Warren Johnson (guess i should add Erica Enders ;-)

Motorcyle: Angelle Sampey

IRL: Danica & Helio

i like the women, and there's so many to choose from in both series...

Answer 17

I watch NHRA very rarely, but I do like to catch John and Ashley Force drags...

IRL...hardly ever watch it.  Usually I stop long enough to see where Danica is running, then flip the channel.

Answer 18

Not so much.  I will flip to see a few laps if I happen catch almost any type of racing.  So no they have not found a space on my DVR yet.

Answer 19

I watch NHRA but not really into the IRL. John and Ashley Force Rule !

Answer 20

h**l yea! I haven't missed one NHRA event at Gateway International since they've been racing there.

I keep up with Nascar almost hourly, but I don't keep up with NHRA near as much and sometimes skip a week or two. However, I drag race a '69 Camaro so that's my NHRA right there.

I will be following the IRL closer now that there's one normal open wheel series again.

Danica

Angelle
