Member of the Month: July

Meet Travis, the Official NASCAR Fan Council Member of the Month for July 2020. Name: Travis Current City: York, Pennsylvania Member Since: 2017 Getting to KNOW Travis: ​ Q. ​How did you first become interested in NASCAR? "My Father watched NASCAR and I can remember watching it with him since about when I was 10. The first race I remember watching was the 1990 Pepsi 400 at Daytona, and my favorite driver was Bill Elliott. I remember his "cool suit" going out in the middle of the race and he still won it! Dad was into cars and Street Rods and I was the same. Loved all things cars and NASCAR was so cool. Loved it ever since I can remember!" Q. What is your favorite part about NASCAR? "I love the competition, but I also really think it’s the personalities that really make up what the sport is. Ever since Twitter came along, fans can see more of who the drivers are. I have followed/liked more drivers that I never would have had I not had the ability to see who they really are and what they are like in the past. It puts a whole new perspective on my view of the sport from only really liking one or two drivers to really just wanting a good race with some action and a story to follow, and now with so many stories able to play out via Facebook and Twitter, its more interesting and more meaningful to follow everyone in the race, not only one or two drivers." Q. What is your favorite NASCAR memory?" "My favorite memory was going to Charlotte with two friends in 2002 and seeing Mark Martin win. That was a great weekend with great friends.  There are so many other memories involving NASCAR but that is my favorite." Q. Do you have a favorite in any of the following categories? Driver: "Ryan Blaney." Track: "Charlotte Motor Speedway." Sponsors: "My favorite sponsor is Ford because of the support they give to the teams and to the sport itself." Q. What are some of your hobbies? "Search eBay for the remaining 3 cards I need to complete my MAXX Race Card Collection!  I like to go to car shows in my 1965 Ford Falcon, spend time with my family at the local amusement park, and spend time with my boys at their sporting events." FROM ALL OF US AT NASCAR, WE THANK TRAVIS FOR HIS CONTINUED SUPPORT AND LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM HIM IN 2020! Look for Travis on the Official NASCAR Fan Council page on NASCAR.COM.
