Hi All Now that the regular season has ended for racing, I thought it would be a good time to start a new contest called "Favorite Driver's Nickname." I'll gather all the nicknames and create a bracket like last time to see who comes out as the winner. We will eliminate names through voting in bracket form. Let's have some off-season fun with this one. T-Hem |

If it's Favorite Nicknames (not favorite drivers that had nicknames) then I'll go with the following: Nationally: "The Intimadator" Also have to mention "Buckshot Jones" (real name Roy Jones). Always thought "Buckshot" was a cool racing name. Real Old School Local: "Two Guy Oakley " |

Scott - That was just a little heads up as to why I chose the names I chose. I don't know if that was the idea or not, but just how I kind of read into it. I wasn't a huge Earnhardt fan, wasn't a Buckshot Jones fan, and never saw Two Gun Oakley race but those were the names I first thought of. As for those I saw race locally, I'd go with names already offered by others: Bruce "Pee Wee" Griffin, "Electrafying" Elvin Felty (made even cooler because his car had a lightning bolt down the side of it), and Billy "The Kid" Pauch. |

Hi All
I will give it another day or 2. Lots of great names. This is going to be a great contest. Thanks everyone!
As for nicknames - it is anything that is in addition to their name, whether it is something that they go by or something that they are called. So really anything and everything (within reason......)
I always get a chuckle hearing all the names drivers go by when they are announced at a race. |
