Via ESPN, a fun little moment at a recent press conference when Carl Edwards is asked a question by Michael Myers, who runs the Queer for Gears website (video below). Myers question (his first ever at a press conference) is innocuous, but Edwards smiles when he hears the name of the website. What attracted ESPN was the affiliation of the questioner.
Myers is a 37-year-old sales manager based out of Las Vegas. Yes, he is gay. Yes, he is a NASCAR fan. And yes, there are more race fans out there just like him. A lot more.

Myers clearly knows his NASCAR and auto racing in general, and his site is a nice mix of features, news and the obligatory hot pictures (see below).

Question is asked at the 1:37 mark:
