Jeff Gordon

You're a winner in life and you prefer to associate with winners -- unlike most of the other genetic throwbacks at the track. You only got into NASCAR after George Will wrote about it and the articles started popping up in The New Yorker. As for motor oil, hey, you hire someone to get under the hood for you. A light, dry chardonnay is your quaff of choice, and there's a "Best of Glyndeborune" CD in the Volvo. Croquet, anyone?

Dale.Earnhardt.Jr.

Like Junior, you love Tom Hanks movies, steak 'n' rice, Grand Theft Auto IV and just chillin'. You've got everything from Elvis to Ludacris on your iPod, but you really miss eight-tracks. What really gets you off, though, is fiddlin' under the hood. (Junior claims he holds the oil-change speed record at Daddy's dealership.) You have a whole lotta trouble givin' up on the past, and you're really a Daddy's boy (or girl) at heart.

Matt Kenseth

You still wear your old Metallica T-shirt, but you live in a house full of cats, and the neighbors are starting to talk.

Bobby Labonte

Family is the center of your life. If you're a man, you're not afraid of the kitchen and you might have the makings of a gourmet. Bringing home the bacon and raising up those family values matter most -- but sometimes, you just want to get wild and pour some Lucky Charms in your Coke float.

Jimmie Johnson

You like to watch. Fruit tastes good. More juice, please? More juice, now!

Tony Stewart

You need to come to terms with your anger-management issues, or your future could go up in "Smoke." You have a dark side that likes to run with the Outlaws, but another side of you just wants to rock, as in Kid Rock. Just count to 10 and try grinding out some of that aggression with power tools. Favorite color: Home Depot orange.

Kyle Busch

Vegas is your kind of town, baby, and you thrive on the risk. Just be careful, though -- too many M&Ms and you could wind up starting like Junior Samples.

Kurt Busch

If you're a girl, you always wanted to ride off with the dark dude with the tattoos and the Harley. If you're a guy, you've got a chip on your shoulder the size of a Chevy, and you're convinced those Jeff Gordon fans have it in for you. Just put the tire iron down nice and easy and cooperate with the authorities.

Ricky Bobby

You have major problems telling reality from television. You can't wait to vote for W. again in the November election, just like the last three times, and "Anchorman" is still your favorite party movie. Don't worry, you're special.
