Would you have taken a ride with this man? Dale Earnhardt. That is all that has to be said if you live in North Carolina or are a Nascar fan. His driving made him famous. His personality was playful, but when he crawled in a race car he was all business. Dale was born in Kannapolis, North Carolina.. He grew up watching his dad drive dirt track race cars. This early exposure to racing helped Dale to make the decision to become a race car driver. He ran his first Nascar race on May 25th, 1975 in the World 600 in Charlotte N.C. From that moment until his death on February 18, 2001 he amassed 76 wins, 7 Championships, ran 676 races and drove over 202,000 laps in the Nascar Sprint Cup series. Also Dale was inducted into the Nascar Hall of fame in the first year of the halls existence. The moniker he earned during those years of racing was “The Intimidator”. The aggressive driving style exhibited made competitors either nervous or respect the willingness to go places others would not dare. Competitors had a love/hate relationship with Dale because of the driving style.…

The arm was distorted and had a series of rectangular shapes to form the arm, which bass considered to represent drug addiction. Preminger however disagreed with Bass over which animated sequence with the arm looked the best. Bass argued that “the sequence fell flat without animation” but Preminger disagreed. The official compromise was “staccato-like movements as the arm segments maneuvered through the visual progression”. After this compromise, the sequence went down as a classic in American…

A reporter from the jersey journal wrote an article, which stated “Jackie Robinson, first Negro player ever to play in organized baseball, broke in yesterday with the Montreal Royals - and with a bang. He smashed out four hits in five times up and a homer with two men on base and three singles. He stole two bases, drove…

baseball. He even got me to play as a toddler. I played until my junior year of high school. It was and still is my favorite sport to play. I admit that I enjoy watching the Yankees play more that I like to play the game itself. I wish I could keep up and watch every Yankee game that’s available on television, but I settle on getting updates on my phone like any other person. The best time to keep up with them is late in the season to see if they have progressed far enough to make the…
