DID YOU KNOW?...
Joe says "I've loved watching racing ever since I was a kid and my dad got me into it. Been playing fantasy racing games since 2000. My friends and I would pick races (draft style) way before discovering online portals for this sort of gaming. We have Yahoo Fantasy League that is in its seventh season. Like going to Homestead to tailgate and watch live racing. I wish there was a local dirt track around here. The nearest one is in Clewiston which is a trek from where I am at. I think dirt track racing is the coolest form of racing ever. The Cup should run some races on dirt. Many of the races are now boring as hell with the COT."
