Almost every Sunday, NASCAR is one of our top searched terms. With so many people addicted to the sport, I thought it would be fun to find out who the top searched NASCAR drivers were.NASCAR has grown to become the second-most popular professional sport in terms of U.S. television ratings, ranking behind the NFL. Its 75 million fans are considered the most brand-loyal fans in all of sports and as a result, NASCAR has more Fortune 500 sponsors than any other sport.
I've never been to live race before but I have heard it's pretty amazing. I can imagine the adrenaline rush the drivers get speeding around the race course and trying to avoid crashing.
As you can see our top searched driver is Tony Stewart, who currently drives the No. 20 Toyota Camry and is sponsored by The Home Depot. Stewart made headlines this year after he allegedly punched another driver during a meeting with race officials.
Following Stewart is four-time champ Jeff Gordon, he drives the No. 24 Chevrolet Impala and his primary sponsor is DuPont. The late (but still immensely popular) Dale Earnhardt is fourth while current points leader Kyle Busch is seventh.

Tony Stewart is one heck of a race car driver. He seems to win in any type of race car. I read he donated 2 million dollars to the victory junction kids camp

I hate NASCAR. The worlds stupidest spectacle with non-athletes sitting on their butts getting credited as athletes. Here's to the next massive high speed pile-up.

My favorite driver is Kevin Harvick, he is in the top 10 or better almost every weekend in the sprint cup and nationwide series. Also the lead in to the article stated Kyle Busch was not the most liked driver, Oh but what a driver! He is good.....

Nascar car rules these guys do not take drugs to preform well like baseball and I am sure basketball players do
By Rick Thomas on Mar 24th 2008 at 8:53PM
was a fan for 35 years but not so much anymore. the cars all look the same and the drivers are all just politically correct talking heads. if it weren't for their seemingly un-limited supply of cliches, none of them would be able to speak. tony stewart is the only thing left that's close to being a real man.
