Getting to know Chris
Q. Why did you join the Official NASCAR Fan Council?
“I thought it would be a great way to become more involved in the sport itself and potentially have a voice in some of the future changes and the growth of NASCAR.”
Q. What comes to mind when you think of NASCAR? What’s your favorite NASCAR memory?
“The first thing that comes to my mind is tradition. In my house, growing up as a child, there was no football, baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer, tennis or golf on TV. It was just NASCAR Racing every weekend and it’s the exact same way to this day.”
Q: Do you have a favorite in any of the following categories?
Driver: “Jeff Gordon.”
Track: “Daytona International Speedway.”
Memorabilia: “I’ve collected Jeff Gordon memorabilia for many, many years, but I think my favorite piece has to be the actual fire suit DuPont jacket that was produced some years back. I can wear it when it’s super cold out and stay warm, but it also works in weather that isn’t so cold too. Another favorite is one of the lug nuts off of Jeff’s car that a family member gave me.”
Q: If you could go to any NASCAR race/track, where would you go?
“Dover International Speedway.”
Q: What do you like to do in your free time?
“Attend NASCAR races and go to Disney World theme parks with my wife, run/workout and climb mountains.”
Q: What’s your dream car?
“Chevrolet Corvette.”
From all of us at NASCAR, we thank Chris for his continued support and look forward to hearing from him in 2015!
