Meet Tire Man, the NASCAR fan who wears a tire to Talladega
NASCAR fans watching the Aaron's 499 at Talladega Superspeedway may have noticed Chris MacNicol on the television broadcast Sunday afternoon. He was the guy wearing a tire and a straw hat - and he's been doing it for years. MacNicol, known as the Talladega Tire Man, has his own Facebook fan page with thousands of likes.
Tire Man told AL.com that his character was born at the 2004 Daytona 500, where he paid $5 for a tire used by Joe Nemechek. Since then, he's become a celebrity at Talladega, where people constantly stop him in the infield to get a photo.
