It’s a very lonely strip of concrete that lies between the garage area and the front straightaway, unless of course it’s a short track, and then it wraps itself around the entire track like some mighty python waiting for its next victim. However you choose to view this small piece of real estate, it has just as much significance as the asphalt that surrounds its outer edges that the drivers race on at very high speeds. At any given moment, this concrete area becomes a race within the race, which can have just as much and at times even more action then what is going on outside of its perimeters. This is the only strip of land on the entire track, where the drivers can get the attention that their cars need during a race, without having to go beyond the wall into the garage

Emotions were running very high for the #29 team on that 11th day of March, 2001. Just three weeks before, Kevin Michael Harvick had no idea just how much of an impact this one race would have on this day, as well as the rest of his career. Happy as he is known around the racing world, was still racing in the Busch series that same year, which was also going to include running seven races in the Winston cup series in preparation to take over the #3 car once Dale Sr. decided it was time to retire. So how would this 25 year old driver from Bakersfield California, prepare himself to take over one the most famous race cars that this series has ever seen? Kevin started his racing career as most of our top stars did, at a very young age. He was only 5 years old when his parents bought him

Dale Earnhardt Jr. summed it up the best, "Some guys need to learn how to bump, a couple of them, they hit too hard, and it doesn't accomplish anything." When we as fans begin to think about these words, it's not hard to look back at the many instances where this type of racing has come under a lot of criticism. This after all is one of the drivers biggest fear when coming to Talladega, or Daytona that are known for its close side by side racing at speeds in excess of 185 M.P.H.

NASCAR has waited over 60 long years to finally join the rest of the sporting world to begin enshrining the drivers who have achieved greatness, while racing around some of Americas most historical racing venues. Not only has each driver made NASCAR their occupation, but also a way of life for their family, friends, and the fans as well. When we begin to think about the significance that NASCAR’s newest addition to the family will mean, all you have to do is take a good long deep look into the third word (fame), and that alone speaks just what an honor it is to even be mentioned next to it.

When I first wrote the article, “Prelude to the chase Part 1, the concept behind the story was not to belittle NASCAR by trying to say the points race was a bad idea. Instead, it was more focused at shedding a brighter light on why and where the chase was created and, of course, to bring to the forefront one of the flaws that has most fans baffled. Now, a change to a sport’s format doesn’t always work, or in this instance, a change may not always make a sport more exciting as well as more appealing to the fans. When a product that has been successful for 50+ years, and it’s served its purpose, why would anyone want to throw a monkey wrench into it without first taking the time to thoroughly research it? |
