My Favorite Sport Is Nascar
My favorite sport is NASCAR. I love to watch the cars zoom around the tracks going real fast. The drivers all wear special uniforms, the cars are real streamlined and loud and the make loud roaring noises as they pass by. There are many different types of tracks as well.
First of all my favorite driver is Dale Earnhardt Jr. He drives the 88 car for Hendrick Motorsports. His sponsors are Mountain Dew and the National Guard. He has won one race and has had five top ten finishes this year and is in the chase for the championship. He has not won a championship yet, but I know he will someday.
Dale drives a Chevrolet Impala. It has a roll cage and is painted with the Mountain Dew symbol on it along with many other sponsers, who he gets money from for letting their name be on his car. The other types of cars that race are the Dodge Avenger, Ford Fusion and Toyota Camry. The cars use slick tires so they can grip the track real good and the V8 engines are real loud.
My favorite track is Daytona and the Daytona 500 is my favorite race. It takes place in February each year and is the first race of the Sprint Cup season. The cars can go as fast as 190 miles per hour and the race usually lasts about two to three hours.
The drivers, the fast cars and the many different types of tracks is why NASCAR is my favorite sport. I can’t wait to go to my first race with my Dad and watch in person. The cars may be too loud for me, so I will have to bring ear

    Nascar racer Mark Martin was born on January 9, 1959 in Batesville Arkansas to Julian and Jackie Martin. He learned how to drive by an early age, with his father pressing the gas while Mark stood in the driver’s seat and steered them down back country dirt roads. By the fall of 1973 Mark had persuaded his father to build him a race car. On April 12, 1974 at the age 15 years old, Mark was driving a race car.

    camaro vs mustang

    Ford and Chevy are as American as apple pie. However, as any car fanatic knows. They are as big of rivals as the North and the South used to be. Two rival models of Ford and Chevy, in particular, is the Ford Mustang Shelby GT and the Chevy ZL1 Camaro. The Chevy Camaro and Ford Mustang are quintessential American pony cars and as such, continue to fight the war over which sport utility vehicle is the best in performance. I recently became interested in cars and the whole racing aspects of them because my best friend races once in a while. He is extremely knowledgeable and interested in cars and can tell which car is the best. Becoming a huge car fanatic like him, I have to “pick a side” and decide which car I would go with the Mustang or the Camaro. The two features that I would take in to consideration in deciding which car is better than the other one is the performance that it has to offer and the style that it resembles.…

    Dale Earnhardt was a great nascar driver, he won many titles for winning all of his races. He has a quote that i think is very inspirational it is “ you win some, lose some, and wreck some. Second place is just the first place loser. You can’t let one bad moment spoil a bunch of good ones.” Dale Earnhardt was 49 years old when he was in his crash and pasted away. He was traveling 180 mph when his car was hit from behind, turned around and smashed his front end of his rascar into the big thick concrete wall. He was on his last lap to victory. He was cut free from his car and air flown to halifax Medical Center with his son Dale, Jr. by his side. He was pronounced dead at his arrival to the hospital. He was found in this car unconscious and…

    Days of Thunder has drama, action and even “the big one,” what more you could ask for in a movie, for me not much more. Fast cars, big crashes, sexy drivers, and even a very pretty doctor, make this film easy to watch. This movie is a must see movie for NASCAR…

    Is Nascar A Sport?

    • 1741 Words
    • 7 Pages

    The first reason NASCAR can be considered a sport is because of the level of physical strength and conditioning it takes to drive a stock car. Driving a race car on an oval track or a road course takes an incredible toll on the driver, both physically and mentally. For example, according to an online article by Chris DiCicco, “NASCAR, the Drivers Physical Conditioning,” a stock car driver must be physically capable of dealing with the…

    I enjoy watching and participating in watercross because it’s pretty much my life i enjoy watching it because it’s exciting to watch and even more fun to be involved in because you’re pretty well known and if you win you really get well known for being good. What is watercross you may ask well let me tell you. Water cross is where you take a stock snowmobile soup it up to make it crazy fast. Then rip it across a decent sized pond or lake with other competitors racing for the championship.Not only do you race for a trophy you’re also running for the bragging rights for who owns the lake. Another thing you may ask is how do you soup up a snowmobile. well it takes a series of parts and time to make a stock snowmobile into a watercross mobile.…

    In May, my best friends and I took on a challenge to create a twenty minute documentary about car culture (more specifically, car culture in Minnesota), however, after taking “13 Ways of Looking at Sports”, I formed connections and realizations that car culture is a branch of motorsport and the passion/community evolving around motorsport parallels the roots of sport we have discussed in class. Our essential questions we wanted to answer through the documentary were: How can we bring awareness to the “average joe” that cars and car culture are an expression of creativity, sport, and lifestyle? How can we deepen our awareness about the Minnesota car culture and how can we share the story behind Minnesota car culture? Essentially, we wanted to…

    Admittedly, The Fast and the Furious and Need for Speed deploy two strikingly different approaches when it comes to their car selections. F&F, for example, was focused on the import tuner scene, where Japanese models like Mitsubishi’s Eclipse and Honda’s Civic are transformed into high performance machines. Sure, each car had its own personality (flashy colors, light kits, body modifications), but they were more like extensions of their racer’s personality. That being said, very few of the cars on display in The Fast and the Furious left us drooling.…
