1. Name - Ashley
2. SCF ID - ashley8318
3. Location – City, State - Kenova, West Virginia
4. Give a brief history of what you do in everyday life. What are your hobbies?
In everyday life I go to school...Marshall University. :) I love going to school and learning. I dont like the homework/studying all the time but its part of it so I do it. My number one goal is to work for a Nascar team..or a track. Of course, my first pick would be Red Bull Racing Team. My number one favorite hobby is helping my grandma and grandpa. :) I love helping with with everything. I also really like crocheting, watching TV, sitting in front of my laptop, and playing with my guinea pigs.
5. Give a brief history of when, how long and why you got into collecting. Please include whether racing was you first passion in collecting, if not, what was. What was the deciding factor that made the change to racing? I can remember back when I was really, really little when dad collected other sports. He'd always give me the damaged cards to play with. I had no idea who the people on them were but I loved playing with them. I think it was 2001 or 2002 (somewhere around there) when dad started really collecting racing. I remember sitting with him while he was organizing his cards. I tried to help but didnt understand the sets, card numbers, and stuff so I mostly just looked at them..and admired the "funny shapped" ones. For years I watched dad with his and thought it was really neat and wanted my own. Finally, dad helped me start my own collection and here I am almost 4 years later. :)
6. Your driver/driver’s you collect that this honor is for.
Brian Vickers. Right now the BV collection comes before the JJ Yeley and AJ Allmendinger collections. I love finding the harder to find cards to add to the collection..and thats about all I'm down to tryin to find now..its more challenging that way.
7. Do you collect any other sport, if so what.
Nope. Racing is all the matters. :)
8. Above all give us a break down again of your collection. Percentage owned cards to listed cards. Include some scans of your most prized cards. If set collector, give us again the breakdown to how many sets owned and described some of the more rarer sets or favorite sets you own.

I dont collect racing but that collection looks quite impressive...to have 79% of the cards produced of a player/driver is amazing. Congrats on the sweet collection.
