on road courses, as well as, oval tracks for its racing venues. Oval tracks were initially built for stock car racing (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014); however, I think open-wheel racing can also be a part of this venue. The IndyCar league differs from NASCAR for the one reason they can reach speeds that far exceed stock car racing; however, this does bring the safety of the driver to the forefront. According to (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014), fans prefer oval tracks; however, I am confident with a unique…

The main point of my editorial/opinion article is racism based on Dr. Ben Carson’s respond to the confederate flag. Carson was asked about the confederate flag, after a NASCAR appearance and his response was reasonable. He stated that NASCAR fans should continue to fly the flags as long as it’s in private property. As our amendments state we have the right to express our beliefs. I disagree with the confederate flag, it symbols a hard time here in American, such as slavery and white supremacy.…

I believe that Nagel 's primary conclusion in “What is it like to be a bat?” is that while there are multiple different forms of consciousness, humans cannot be sure of the presence of consciousness in lesser forms of animals, such as a bat. The “what it is like” for Nagel is reworded as being subjective character. The bat has subjective character, which is experience. Even though we know that bats hang upside down, have webbed arms and feet, and use echolocation, we will never truly know what…

somewhere else in the house. With no one to distract him and nothing to do, he decided to watch the Daytona 500, something he regularly did with his free time. At first, he was just flipping channels, seeing what was on. When he flipped to Fox and saw the NASCAR race, he settled into the couch and planned to be there for a while. He was rooting for Dale Earnhardt, as most people were at the time. This was not Earnhardt’s first race at 49; he had a lot of experience under his belt. He even got…

Saturday night and spend the whole time as my Grandfathers crew chief. I lead the pit crew in operations such as backing the car to the trailer, changing tires, and troubleshooting before the car even came off the track. This particular racing is not NASCAR though, the class is called Modified. I have built an engine for said racecar and I was in charge of setting up the tires for a long time. Most dirt track racing divisions are still using carburetors. I find the science behind the engines and…

Study In the present day of competitive auto racing, the drivers have become the stars of the sporting event. However, behind the driver's success, two groups exist, formal and informal that enables smooth running of the racing cars, Formula one, and NASCAR.

We've lost Dale Earnhardt," (NASCAR president Mike Helton). Cheri and Shanice both turned to Matt in concern and placed caring hands on his back “are you okay?”. Many said you either love earnhardt or you loathe him and Vaughan was one who loved him. “Yes the news was upsetting, but…

7. NASCAR and the MLS are unique in that they have a certain type of stability that other sports do not. In a previous case, the Supreme court ruled that it did not know enough about the sport of NASCAR to make fair rulings. Due to this, NASCAR has their own appeals panel of three people (owners or NASCAR reps) to make decisions. A current example of this occurred earlier this year. A driver failed a post-inspection for three loose lug nuts. This team is facing a 35-point deduction and a…
