I have to say Jeff Gordon. I became a Fan in his rookie year way back when (93 I believe). My Brother was involved in a program like Make a wish foundation, and he wanted to go to the races. He has multiple sclerosis. A friend of his was a huge fan of another driver, drivers name with held, and the kid had brain tumors and arthritis to the point of crippling and made a scale die-cast model of said driver's car. All the kid wanted was for the driver to sign it...took the kid almost a year to build it. Well that driver and Gordon crashed out 2/3 of the race through and the kid was lifting this car to the other driver begging him to autograph it. The driver swatted the car out of the kids hands and it crashed to pieces on the pavement. I was so mad I wanted to rip the other drivers head off. The kid cried and cried. Well, Gordon saw this, went to the kid and started handing over 24 memorabilia including the hat he was wearing and a jacket. He talked to the kid for nearly an hour. One thing I over heard was "hey kid, don't let mean people ruin this sport for you, not all of us are like that and even he isn't like that normally, its just a bad day". I was in tears at the outpouring of fan loyalty in this rookie. So in closing GORDON ROCKS!!!! :)
