I'm Chop, 24 yrs old from right outside Raleigh NC. Been a NASCAR fan since I was about 3 years old when I first saw Jeff Gordon's Rainbow Warrior paint scheme and ever since have been hooked. Played mostly PS2 NASCAR games during my childhood up through Playstation 3 and then Xbox one until a few months ago I finally got a laptop almost entirely to be able to finally after all these years play NR2003. I spent most of my teenage years and into my early 20s messing up my life with drugs and a lot of bad decisions but as of today 8-23-20 I am one day from 17 months clean and honestly here lately with covid almost shutting down everything in my life (including my job for almost 2 months) NR2003 and its community has been the main thing that has kept my mind from going to places it shouldn't and because of that I owe a huge thank you to all the modders, track builders, painters, and the whole NR community for helping me keep my life together until I was able to go back to work a couple of months ago to finally give myself something else to do and push myself for, but like I said THANK YOU to any and everybody that reads this and whether you contribute or not you have all helped me in so many ways. I am still in the process of learning things with NR and computers in general but I am making small progress. I am working on getting better at painting and hopefully soon I will have something to give back to the community. I hope to one day get good enough to become a mod maker myself during my free time after work and family (my Fiance Haley, dog, and soon to be a baby) but going off of my passion for NASCAR over all these years I don't believe the fire will ever go out to want to do and make and learn more with this sport and this game.

Welcome Chop, glad we can be a little part to help you stay straight, nothing good ever comes out of doing drugs, whenever you need anything about this game, ask the community, people are always happy to help those who try to learn and do for themselves, that's how I learned most all I know about NR2003 and painting (still learning) You never learn anything by asking others to do it for you. Congrats on the new addition, and always treat Haley well, she deserves it.
