It traces the history and the development of the sport through the faces behind the scene who have made the sport such a success and the personalities behind the helmets—the stars that the crowds flock to see. There is also a comprehensive statistics section featuring the results of the Winston Cup series and the all-time leaders in NASCAR’S driving history plus a chronology capturing the highlights of the sport.

  • What Would Dale Do Revised
    What Would Dale Do? Applying the 2004 NASCAR Points System to the “Earnhardt” Years by Ben Rushing Northwestern State University of Louisiana Department of Mathematics Kyser Hall Natchitoches, LA 71497 e-mail: [email protected] telephone: (318) 357-5054 and Richard Manion Northwestern State University of Louisiana Space Science Group Kyser Hall Natchitoches, LA 71497 e-mail: [email protected] telephone: (318) 357-6253 Abstract The process for computing points to determine the winner of the NASCAR championship was changed effective with the 2004 racing season. The previous points structure had been in place since 1976. This analysis gives a brief history of the origins of NASCAR and analyses the changes that would have occurred had the new process for determining the NASCAR champion been used during the years when seven-time series champion, Dale Earnhardt dominated the series. What Would Dale Do? Applying the 2004 NASCAR Points System to the “Earnhardt” Years Ben Rushing, Jr. and Richard Manion Earnest Hemingway once said, “Auto racing, bullfighting, and mountain climbing are the only true sports. All the rest are children’s games played by adults.” Seven-time NASCAR champion, Dale Earnhardt said, “The most important things in my life is [sic] God, my family and that black #3 GM Goodwrench car.” [1] A Brief History Of NASCAR The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) series had its rather humble beginnings on the sand beaches of Daytona, Florida. At the turn of the 20th century when automobiles were in their infancy, would be record setters gathered on the beaches around Daytona to accelerate to top speed and see which driver and car was fastest.
