When did you first become a fan?

My grandpa goty me to watch my first race with him on television when I was 8. I immediatley fell in love with the roar of the engines and the speed of it all. After a summer of watching races in my grandpas livingroom I was hooked. Next summer I forced my dad to take me to Michigan International Speedway because I had to see it in person. Unfortunatly we did not have time to go to the Sprint Cup race, but we were able to make it in for the qualifing. Since then Nascar has been my life.
