A detailed Summary of autoracing

On the final lap of the 2001 Daytona 500 seven time Winston Cup Champion Dale Earnhardt was killed when his Good wrench Chevy hit the wall entering the tri-oval at nearly 190 miles per hour. I was sitting at home watching this live, as I have watched the Daytona 500 every year for as long as I can remember. I was personally astounded at this, but I was dumbfounded by the talk and news later reporting that NASCAR racing is a brutal industry with no concern for driver, and that fans only watch for gore with no good coming of the sport. I disagree and will prove through this paper the need and value of auto racing.

I would first like to address the statements that NASCAR does not care for the safety of the driver. In 1997, ironically enough, Dale Earnhardt was in a wreck with Ernie Irvin which the hood of his car went into the stands injuring spectators. Soon thereafter improved fencing designed to keep the spectators safe was installed at all NASCAR sanctioned tracks, at great cost and without fan fare. In all the 50 years of NASCAR safety innovations were mandated by the sanctioning body when found reliable and cost effective. NASCAR is a family that travels the circuit together for 38 of the 52 weeks in th

e year. I find it impossible to believe that adults today believe that the officials don't care for the drivers. NASCAR has a large rule book designed to do three thing. First is to keep the competition fair, the second is to keep the competition cost effective and the third is safety.

nd shock adjustments in the same time frame. Athletes at work. I enjoy race strategy from racing the track, to racing the field and to racing your own car. There is a great many things more than wrecks that excite true knowledgeable race fans.

The last point I wish to share is the fact that racing is the uniting force in my family. All my brothers and my dad come together every Sunday to watch our favorite drivers compete. We sometimes root against each other but in the end it brings us closer than any other thing in our lives. Take away racing and you take away a family tradition. Sure we may find a new one, but at the Reilly home, we don't get excited for the super bowl, we wait for two weeks and celebrate the running of the Daytona 500. Yes, next year I will be watching the cars enter the tri-oval on the last lap of the Daytona 500, I will remember the Intimidator, but I will enjoy racing. And tomorrow when you get in your car and drive down the road remember what NASCAR has done
