I come from the world of NASCAR, so I know a good nickname for a driver when I hear one. Legends have the best ones, like Richard Petty is “The King”, David Pearson is “The Silver Fox” and of course the late Dale Earnhardt, Sr. is and will always be known as “The Intimidator”. Even the NASCAR racers of this age have memorable nicknames for themselves. Ryan Newman is “The Rocket”. Tony Stewart is “Smoke”. Greg Biffle is “The Biff”. AJ Almendinger is “The Dinger”. Kyle Busch is “Shrub” (my favorite and I bet he still hates it). Of course the best known is Dale Earnhardt, Jr. as “Junior” and his legion of fans are “Junior Nation”.<\/p>\n
