I've heard one (or both) of the Labonte brothers were in the sim-racing community. It would be cool to say "I've raced at Bristol against Terry Labonte!"

This may be stupid to post, but I always get a kick out of whenever I hear of a racer using a simulator to learn a track. I wonder what simulator he used, hehe. (copied and pasted from a Nascar Online article:) "Earnhardt Jr. prepared for the test session by using a simulator, but still found the terrain tough. He twice suffered spins exiting Turn 7, both times landing in the gravel trap."

Dale Jr has been well known to be racing against us online using Nascar Racing 2 back on the NROS, Nascar Racing 3 on WON.NET and even Dirt Track Racing. Many of us know him, he's real simracing freak, and one of the many real-life racecar drivers who race online.
