Brad Daugherty, a 7-foot-tall NASCAR fanatic

Posted Mar 11, 2008

Just guessing, but the most conspicuous person at the Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sunday for the Kobalt Tools 500 will be an African-American. He will be nearly taller than the scoring tower. He will be the guy whose drawl sounds like somebody from Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s household. He will be the one who could tell you every aspect of the Car of Tomorrow for hours, days or weeks without you asking. Brad Daugherty really is into this racing stuff, and, yes, we’re talking about that Brad Daugherty. (Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
