NASCAR and NHRA teams consist of drivers that have grown up racing in small towns across the country with fans following them since they began racing at such a young age. Another factor is the team is made

    One thing that surprised me about the car was that the car tires were filled with nitrogen gas instead of compressed air. Nitrogen is a colorless and odorless non-toxic gas used to reduce the temperature of the tire and increase its lifespan. In races, it may be able to keep tire pressure more constant and slow pressure loss without reacting to the tire and rim materials. Another thing that surprised me about the car was its design and build. What really caught my eye was that the inside of the body shell of the car.…

Me being a person who cannot sit still and watch a sport simply because sitting still and watching others be active is not something I can do. If you are not helping the team win how is it that you, as an individual sitting on your couch, feel so much like you have just won?
