What Family Member is YOUR Favorite Nascar Driver? PART 1 of 3

As we wind up this day of Thanksgiving, sitting with our families, wondering why the Detroit Lions are still allowed to host a national game, our thoughts still turn to Nascar. People often talk about the "Nascar Family"--but what parts of the family are they? Lets take a look:

o-Jeff Green--Your uncle with the cool sports car who seems to have a new job every holiday.

1-Martin Truex, Jr.--Your cousin's new boyfriend who keeps trying to convince you to go to his alt-punk-rock band's Snowball in Hell show at the fire hall.

2-Kurt Busch--Yes, your second cousin was cleared of all charges. Yes, the sheriff forgave him. But your mom still won't give him seconds on the champagne.

5-Kyle Busch--The annoying little cousin who always wants to sit at the grown-ups table, then complains that he's bored.

6-Mark Martin--Your recently-divorced great-uncle who just won't leave, even after the Cowboys game ended.

7-Robby Gordon--Your aunt who owns her own dreamcatcher business but still finds time to breed long-haired cats.

8-Dale Earnhardt Jr.--Your cousin that everyone thinks is SOOOO great, just because she graduated from community college.

9-Kasey Kahne--Your sister's best friend, who is getting WAY too much attention from Uncle Dennis.

10-Scott Riggs--Your aunt's loser fiancee who can't take the fact that he'll never be a film critic, no matter how well-groomed his soul patch is.

11-Denny Hamlin--The scared guy who just married into the family, who has all these great stories, but an accent no one can place.

12-Ryan Newman--Your second-cousin who graduated Summa Cum Laude from college, has a job lined up, and wants the gravy...NOW.

14-Sterling Marlin--Your friendly uncle, the garbage man!
