Petty = 7 (back to back twice)
Earnhardt = 7 (back to back three times)
Gordon = 4 (back to back once)
Johnson = 6 (back to back to back to back to back plus one)

Total is 24...that's four drivers with a third of the total number of titles...amazing. And when you think about, there are six drivers with three each...so, basically, ten drivers have won about two-thirds of the 64 Championships...Think about that...

[spazmatastic]

Of course your answer is correct. Your turn.

[dunnere]

OK, this should be a fun one. I thought about not giving the drivers, but this might be a bit easier to follow/handle. Match the driver to the Hometown:

1.Rochester Hills, Michigan,
2.Beloit, Wisconsin,
3.Las Vegas, Nevada,
4.Vallejo, California,
5.Kannapolis, North Carolina,
6.Cambridge, Wisconsin,
7.Chesterfield, Virginia,
8.Emporia, Kansas,
9.Columbus, Indiana,
10.Columbia, Missouri,
11.Middletown, Connecticut,
12.El Cajon, California,
13.Conover, North Carolina,
14.South Bend, Indiana,
15.Bakersfield, California,
16.Vancouver, Washington,
17.Mayetta, New Jersey


1.Jeff Gordon
2.Kurt Busch
3.Brad Keselowski
4.Jimmie Johnson
5.Martin Truex, Jr.
6.Kevin Harvick
7.Dale Earnhardt, Jr.
8.Ryan Newman
9.Joey Logano
10.Tony Stewart
11.Greg Biffle
12.Clint Bowyer
13.Denny Hamlin
14.Danica Patrick
15.Dale Jarrett
16.Carl Edwards
17.Matt Kenseth

8,12- 3,2- 11,9- 7,13
The first # is the hometown, 2nd# is driver.

[Mikarlo]

I definitely know two of these right off the bat...seeing as they are local to me.

8.Emporia, Kansas, = 12.Clint Bowyer
10.Columbia, Missouri = 16.Carl Edwards

And then I know the Busch Bros are from Las Vegas

3.Las Vegas, Nevada, = 2.Kurt Busch

And I know BK in a Michigander

1.Rochester Hills, Michigan, = 3.Brad Keselowski

And this one I learned when MT Jr won (can't remember if it was Watkins Glen or Sonoma...thinking is was WG though)

17.Mayetta, New Jersey = 5.Martin Truex, Jr.


Those are the ones I am for sure on. I know Tony is from Indiana, but not sure which town or who the other driver is from Indiana. I also know Gordon & JJ are from Cali, but again, not sure the towns. The others I'd have to research.

El Cajon, California - JJ
Vallejo, California - JG
Beloit, Wisconsin - Danica
Conover, North Carolina - Jarrett
Columbus, Indiana - Stewart
Cambridge, Wisconsin - Kenseth
Bakersfield, California - I THINK this is Harvick
South Bend, Indiana - I THINK this is Newman
Vancouver, Washington - I THINK this is Biffle

The last two might be backwards.

[dunnere]

Well, three responses...I thought that question might drum up some business...

Tony Stewart Columbus, Indiana,
Matt Kenseth Cambridge, Wisconsin,
Jeff Gordon Vallejo, California,
Danica Patrick Beloit, Wisconsin
Jimmie Johnson El Cajon, California,
Jamie McMurray Joplin, Missouri,
Dale Jarrett Conover, North Carolina,
Brad Keselowski Rochester Hills, Michigan,
Kurt Busch Las Vegas, Nevada,
Kevin Harvick Bakersfield, California,
Greg Biffle Vancouver, Washington,
Clint Bowyer Emporia, Kansas,
Carl Edwards Columbia, Missouri,
Martin Truex, Jr. Mayetta, New Jersey
Joey Logano Middletown, Connecticut,
Ryan Newman South Bend, Indiana,
Denny Hamlin Chesterfield, Virginia,
Jamie McMurray Joplin, Missouri,

You added an extra one at the bottom that wasn't in the original question. I knew all of those except Logano and Truex.

So, who gets to ask the next question?

[dunnere]

I got a little nudge from a certain someone on the omission of a certain driver...LOL

If I didn't have the list, I would not have known Truex, Logano, Bowyer, Edwards or Hamlin...

Well, I jumped the gun on the final answer, but I figured that you guys had enough of them that it was as good as done...I think that was a fun question...

OK, so I guess Adam had the majority, so let's have another question from the Caridnals fan...speaking of which, that is a tough break on that kid Oscar Taveras getting killed like that. I guess the ceiling on him was huge...a big blow to that organization...

[spazmatastic]

You didn't jump the gun. We had all the answers posted.

I did not know that Taveras died. I knew he had been in an accident but that was all. That sucks. He was really starting to show his potential.

Anyway, I didn't have a question planned so I'll go with another off the top of my head based off of your question.

What current Cup driver calls Thomasville, NC home?
