17. The best thing about a NASCAR race is the speed and the adrenaline that you get from watching the cars. When I went to my very first race, the minute I heard the cars and saw them go by, I fell in love. After that, you just crave it. You don’t get that from any other sport. It’s so powerful. - TERA, NASCAR FAN
