NASCAR


According To Wikipedia, the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) is the largest sanctioning body of stock cars in the United States. The three largest racing series sanctioned by NASCAR are the Sprint Cup, the Nationwide Series and the Craftsman Truck Series. It also oversees NASCAR local racing, the Whelen Modified Tour, and the Whelen All-American Series. NASCAR sanctions over 1,500 races at over 100 tracks in 39 states, as well as Canada and Mexico. From 1996 to 1998, NASCAR held exhibition races in Japan and an exhibition race in Australia in 1988.

I, myself, have never been interested in the sport of nascar racing, but there are a lot of people in my family and community that love it. Unfortunately, this sport is about to come to an end for this year, and that is always a depressing time because no one likes when their sport is over. If you enjoy going over 200 miles per hour in a car then I would definitely suggest that you try nascar racing!

Politics and Such



Wikipedia does not offer anything good for politics, so I will just have to wing this one. Some people view politics as a "sport", but I, myself, view it as a nuisance. I am glad that the election is over for a couple of reasons.
1. The only thing that airs in between shows are mean and cruel advertisements about people in the election.
2. Politics becomes many people sole conversation, and politics can be a little overdone at times.

There are, however, a few good things about elections. I am very grateful that we are given the opportunity to give our opinion and vote. Voting is something that different groups of people have had to work for over the past few decades. I will not comment on the outcome of the election because I do not want to step on anyone's toes by giving my opinion. I will, however, say that all of the people running were qualified so whoever won was fine by me.

I am very glad that the election is over, and I believe that everyone who was elected will do their best to better our country. Unfortunately, there are some problems that even Chuck Norris would not be able to fix in our country. Great job to everyone who was able to vote, and seized the opportunity that many people in other countries have to work for.
