Who's the BEST driver you have met and why?

Kenseth a very friendly person and great to the fans, not impatient and stayed for the duration with a smile!

Agreed with you - Richard Petty. He's the only driver I've actually met, but he was so nice. We met him in the Dover Downs Casino; he had a bunch of fans gathered around him asking for autographs and stuff and he was great about it. Since it was just a natural environment like that he didn't even have to stop, but he did. He also looks better in person.

Most of the drivers I have met have been nice. I have met Casey Mears three times now and each time has been great. Last year in New Hampshire I actually sprinted after meeting Clint Bowyer to get in line for Casey. When I got there the security guy said that the line was actually cut about 20 people ahead of me. I decided that I would not leave and take a chance. The security guy came back about five minutes later and said that Casey would stay and until everyone in line (to that point) got through. I was amazed that he would do that.

Jeremy Mayfield he talked to me for like 15 minutes the 3rd time I met him even after i went through the line and was standing behind the little fence thingie he didnt ignore anybody but listened to me too :) i was excited and when i walked up to him i said "hi jeremy ive been a fan since the 37 car" he smiled and hes like "oh really, i really appreciate that" remind you thats 12 years (11 at the time this was last year) and later i found out he told the lady at the trailer that i was cute because i was so excited to meet him (i hate rude people that want his autograph just to have it like the guy in line that had him sign a jr hat)

the first time i met him he put his arm around me and told me not to be nervous :) (that was 10 years ago i was only 11)

I have met both Richard Petty and Dale Sr. They are both the two greatest drivers in my mind. Both were great personalities. I am proud to have met both of them. I was 11 when I met the King so I didn't know too much of what to say except smile and tug on my Dad's arm in the infield of Daytona. I was much older when I met Dale in the same place although it was 3am and raining the night before the race. We talked about an hour. Mostly about stuff outside the track like hunting and fishing. It was really cool.

I met well, maybe not met but a quick Hello AND close enough for eye contact with was Kasey Khane (what a little sweetie-pie), David Rueitman, Michale Waltrip, Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick, Kenny Wallace, Jamie Mac & Martin Truex Jr. I have a ton of pictures and a really good one of Junior's butt....LOL, I never saw him coming only going.

Now I actualy met Wendy Venturini I know she isn't a driver but it was cool to talk to her we chatted for like 10 minutes she is just a doll and knows her NASCAR she was fun to talk to.

And my favorite was Clint Bowyer. I had garage passes & Pit suites this year. I ran into him all day long and every time he flashed this huge smile and said hello, never seemed tired of us fans or like he was trying to get away. Nice, nice guy. Well afterwards we were heading through the parking lot to get to the car (we parked in Paddock parking which is were the drivers and thier busses are, it was a dream day) here comes this golf cart buzzing towards us and you got it....Clint Bowyer. He stopped to chat, it was just incredible. He said he remembered seeing my smiling face all day long, told me I had a beautiful smile (I was melting) we chatted for a couple of minutes about the Nationwide series and the Sprint Cup then off he went, he told us to watch out for all the crazies on the road as he was speeding away smiling from ear to ear. What a doll the guy was and that smile of his makes him pretty hot.

Wanna know the kicker? AFTER he drove away and I was standing there feeling all happy inside yea, well in one hand I was holding a marker for autographs and around my neck.....my camera. What a star struck idiot. No autographs or pictures. At least I still have the memory.

Dale Jr..........This has to be my choice because he is the only one that I have met. He is one of the nicest down to earth guys who does not think that he is better than anyone else and that is what I really like about him. He treated me like a "best friend" and NEVER put forth a "I'm better than you attitude". He loves to race and will be the first one to tell you that he is not even close to being the best driver on the track. He does it because he loves it and for that you have to respect him. Would he be where he is right now if it were not for his father???? Probably not but you can't hate on him for that..........I don't think there is a person on this earth who wouldn't take advantage of that opportunity.

He autographed a diecast car for me too while I was there!

I met Michael Waltrip with Ron Hornaday, Randy La Joie and Boris Said all together once where i work and they were totally friendly and very approachable but their biggest concern however is that they had had lost Steve Park.

Just before they left someone else who i knew was a Nascar fan walked by them and notice Ron was wearing one of his own hats. my friend was going to ask him if he was a fan but he walked away. i stood there an laughed when i told him that was the real Ron Hornaday. All were very nice but i didn't get to meet Steve.

Mine would have to be Mark Martin, to me he was like, VERY down to earth, tell ya like it is kinda man, Very soft spoken!!

I met him in Daytona for the 500, I really don't know how my Dad got us in the infield but it was a blast! It was actually the first time my Dad and I got SH*T FACED TOGETHER (never new that side of my father), WE met quite a few drivers that day, but NO-ONE stuck out in my head but MR. MARTIN!

The Best part about meeting Mark Martin would be the fact that he is my Dads favorite driver! It was Truly a one of a kind type of moment, to see my dad standing their talking to his idle, just about brought tears to my eyes!

I've only met one, but I was surprised at how friendly Kurt Busch was. This was a few years ago when all of the new Kyle Busch haters were still focused on Kurt and all I had heard was how much of a jerk he was on and off the track. He was very nice when I met him though.
