Eric 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2008 My favorites somehow belong to my favorite teams I also watch the NHL and NCAAF, but I don't really have favorite players, just favorite teams. I don't really support players in non-racing sports, if any of the guys on this list switches teams, I won't care about them anymore. I also follow many more racing series than I listed; these are only the professional-ish ones. NFL - Kevin Faulk, Wes Welker, Mike Vrabel, Laurence Maroney, and Tedi Bruschi MLB - Dustin Pedroia, Jonathan Papelbon, David Ortiz, Jason Vartiek, and Jon Lester MLS - Taylor Twellman IRL - Danica Patrick and Helio Castroneves ARCA - Bobby Santos, III., Scott Speed, and Bobby Gerhart NASCAR - Bobby Labonte, Juan Pablo Montoya, Clint Bowyer, Boris Said, and Dale Jr (I like Dale Jr more than I say, just cuz it is waaay too cliche to be a Joonyer fan) CCWS - James Hinchcliffe, Will Power, and Paul Tracy And for more fun, my least favorite athletes... NFL - Peyton Manning and Eli Manning MLB - Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez IRL - Dan Wheldon and Ed Carpenter NASCAR - Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch F1 - Lewis Hamilton CCWS - I listed all three drivers in the series as guys I like.
