Driving Isn't Their Only Obsession

If you're like me, you enjoy articles that give you insight into the private life of your favorite drivers. This piece, from "Inside NASCAR," helped to humanize a few of my heroes and made me realize how much we have in common. It's cramed full of little-known facts. Did you know, for instance, that Rich Bickle likes to collect beer cans in his spare time? (So do I, but usually because I'm too drunk to clean them up.) Or that Stirling Marlin likes to troll for Civil War relics with a metal detector? I thought these guys ate, slept, and drank at the track 24/7, but now I know they have vibrant inner lives just like me. This article really turned me on to some new dimensions in auto racing. Maybe it will do the same for you.
