Did you pick your driver for on track skills or off track personality?

It had a lot to do with his record, but his off-track personality counts too.

Both but there is probably a little more emphasis on the on track skills and the way Jimmie manages races. He is not only a great driver but a great tactician as well. He usually does just enough to give himself a chance to contend for the win in the majority of races he's in. That could mean sandbagging a little and saving your car for the end or running real hard, ahead of the wrecks all day. Of course he has a lot of extra confidence with Chad on top of his pitbox. He is a laid back California kid at heart and a lot more fun in real life than the corporate robot that he appears to be at times.

Both. I think they need to be decent people on and off the track and also be talented drivers. However I do like some of the drivers who never win or have top 20 finishes, because I like their personalities.

Thats why I chose these 2 Drivers. Oh and because they are always under the radar.

Hope I explained it thorough.

loved Kyle Busch's seriously competitive nature on the track, I like to root for someone who always remains competitive. The attitude off the track is a big controversy that I feel has been blown out of proportion a bit, mostly after the Richmond incident with Dale Jr., where they both were at fault, just as they both admitted. also my boyfriend said that kyle looked like an alien, so I said "oh yeah? i happen to like alien-lookin guys" so it's been on since then. LMAO

My favorite is Tony Stewart. I became a fan of his when he was on ESPN's Thursday Night Thunder running the midgets. So for me, it was driving style at first that drew me to him. Later as he moved to the IRL I began to love his personality. Now in NASCAR he is the link to the past. He is the kind of driver that Cale Yarborough was. Fiery and aggressive both on the track and off. Speaks his mind....that is a refreshing change in today's PC NASCAR world.

I initially went with my driver, Kasey, because of his skill, that and at the time he was a rookie (I always pick a rookie to root for every season) but then as I got to know his off-track personality, that strengthened my choice in him, not to mention I really look good in his merchandise. lol

I’d say for me it’s about 60% personality, 40% ability because no matter what driver you choose, they’re always going to have a bad day/race.

Off track personality. Obviously I root for the two drivers that dont win much (Jamie McMurray and Bobby LaBonte), but they seem to be great guys off the track, and just class acts and dont blame people.

Both. I started watching Junior when he was just a little squirt since of course I have been a Dale Earnhardt fan all my life. So I knew Junior before he ever started racing and watched him grow up and then during his first 2 full years of racing in the Bush (Nationwide) Series and he won back to back Championships and that excitement and his modest personality set me up to be a Junior fan for life. I am not a bandwagon jumper nor am I a fan just because of who his dad was. He earned my respect when he was just a young guy and I am a very loyal fan.

Once upon a time (lol), I liked almost all of the drivers. Two of my older brothers were huge Intimidator fans. They thought that he did no wrong. Being a good little sister - doing what little sisters do - I loved harassing them about their "dirty, cheating, stupid, etc. favorite driver".

One day, my brothers cried foul. They insisted that I pick just one driver as my favorite, so that they could bug me about him. I thought about it long and hard. I considered everything: talent, personality, style, and yes, even his good looks. I chose Terry Labonte over all of the rest.

My choice has proved to be a good one. Best of all, my brothers could never find any fault with him, either. : )
