NASCAR is a multibillion dollar family owned and operated sports industry. It was founded by Bill France, Sr. in 1947-48. From 1947-48 NASCAR has changed and developed throughout the years. Having a career as a NASCAR driver and racing competitively can be the best thing for a person who loves to drive fast.7 Of course, to become a driver for the National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing, you would have to start from the bottom and work your way up to professional racing. 1 NASCAR is my favorite professional sport. 1 I want to become a NASCAR driver because I love the sport and everything about it.
2 NASCAR got its start from back in the days of the prohibition, which happened during the 1920’s and ended in 1930. 2 Moonshiners would race each other to see how much faster their car was compared to the others. Today, NASCAR is split into three different levels of racing; The Camping World Truck Series, The Nationwide Series, and the Sprint Cup Series. To become a NASCAR driver, they aren’t very many educational requirements. 5 All you need to do is graduate high school, but it is highly recommended that someone wishing to pursue a career as a driver in the sport has knowledge of the race car. 5 DHS doesn’t offer any classes specifically for NASCAR. 5 What DHS does offer though is the opportunity for you to enroll in automotive courses offered by the Kiamichi Technology Center. “You do need to take math in high school and complete specialized courses as you advance in your career. You’ll need to take these courses to get licensed in driving high-speed cars and then to keep your driving skills up to speed and up to date (John par. 5).” 6 The University of Technical Institute has a great course for someone ho...

Dale Earnhardt grew up in automotive racing. Ever since he was a kid that is what his family did, and now his family carries on that legacy.
NASCAR is extremely competitive. For one, you have to qualify for each race. Qualifying is where you have to get the fastest time to start in a position (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.). Whoever has the fastest time will get to start in first. Whoever gets the slowest time starts in 43rd. This makes it competitive because you have to compete and push the car so that you can get the fastest time and start in first. Or there is the “Chase.” The Chase is made up of the NASCAR leaders. It helps determine who goes to the championship. The top 3 right now are Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards, and Jimmie Johnson. The
People who have participated in racing for the past century, have never been universally accepted as athletes. The drivers, especially those in the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) prove this misconception as incorrect with their intense training and stellar performances. Drivers on social media, assert that they are athletes, contradicting other sports stars who insist that they are not. The drivers in NASCAR and all forms of racing deserve to be given the respect of their fellow athletes in other sports. NASCAR drivers are seasoned athletes because of their training and tough race conditions that they encounter every week on the track.
Days of Thunder, a 1990 box office classic, displays false information when it comes to the truth behind NASCAR. NASCAR is a professional based company and is headed by only the best. Its new penalty and regulation system and professionalism on and off the racetrack show the truth behind the character of NASCAR. The film Days of Thunder shows a false depiction of the company of NASCAR and prove to show that sometimes even Hollywood, can “get it wrong”.

The healthcare field and all professions within is one of the fastest and most aggressively growing career path. Just as people will always need someone to fix anything they will also always need doctor medical staff. The doctors, nurses, and medical assistants are on the front lines interacting with and caring for and healing the patients that are in such dire need for their help but behind the scenes sitting at a desk shifting and sorting through mounds of paperwork or sitting through endless boring board meetings with suits who have no idea how patient care really works that’s where I want to be this is the nerd that I am.

Formula One Racing Formula One racing, or F1, is known to be the most prestigious type of auto racing in the world. Unfortunately, in the United States F1 racing is not nearly as popular as other motorsports such as Nascar. On a typical Sunday afternoon if one were to flip channels on the television, Nascar would most likely be airing on a major station. Furthermore, if one were to watch the race he

The process of choosing a career is, many times, a difficult decision. Many factors must be taken into account while deciding a career. Such factors usually include pay, work environment, and most importantly, what the person is interested in. Becoming a musician would be a highly fulfilling career for the reasons of broadening one’s musical abilities, people enjoying something that an individual made, and traveling the country, possibly even the world, for musical opportunities such as teaching, performing, and writing.
