    Bermudian Church of the Brethren WEDNESDAY’s WORD – a midweek thought from Pastor Larry M. Dentler to share a word of inspiration … encouragement … challenge … a smile … in the middle of your week June 24, in the year of our Lord 2020 – #842 Backwards Across the Line My favorite sport is NASCAR auto racing. I like all forms of racing, most anything to do with motorsports, but NASCAR is my favorite. Yes, I liked it better when the cars were actually the cars off the street. I liked it better when the field included Ford, Chevy, Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Dodge and AMC! Today these “stock cars” are purpose-built race cars. The hand-built racing chassis underneath the body is pretty much the same from manufacturer to manufacturer. The bodies are similar but with some unique nose, side, and rear features unique to Ford, Chevy & Toyota to make them vaguely resemble a street Mustang, Camaro, or Camry. The engines are specific to each manufacturer. I’ll watch a little College football, my Steelers in pro football… but NASCAR is my sport. Don’t bother talking to me about baseball, basketball, soccer or hockey… sorry, I won’t know much about them. No, NASCAR isn’t perfect, but it’s the only sport I know that the TV contracts with the sanctioning body require the networks to televise the Christian prayer that is offered at the beginning of every race. In this politically correct day… I keep waiting for that to change. On Larry’s “bucket list” would to be able to offer that prayer before a NASCAR race.

  • 50 Years of NASCAR Captures All That Has Made Bill France’S Dream Into a Firm, Big-Money Reality
    < mill NASCAR OF NASCAR ■ TP'S FAST, ITS FURIOUS, IT'S SPINE- I tingling, jump-out-of-youn-seat action, a sport created by a fan for the fans, it’s all part of the American dream. Conceived in a hotel room in Daytona, Florida, in 1948, NASCAR is now America’s fastest-growing sport and is fast becoming one of America’s most-watched sports. As crowds flock to see state-of-the-art, 700-horsepower cars powering their way around high-banked ovals, outmaneuvering, outpacing and outthinking each other, NASCAR has passed the half-century mark. 50 Years of NASCAR captures all that has made Bill France’s dream into a firm, big-money reality. 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. Packed throughout with dramatic color illustrations, each page is an action-packed celebration of all that has made the sport what it is today. Whether you are a die-hard fan or just an armchair follower of the sport, 50 Years of NASCAR is a must-have addition to the bookshelf of anyone with an interest in the sport. $29.95 USA/ $44.95 CAN THIS IS A CARLTON BOOK ISBN 1 85868 874 4 Copyright © Carlton Books Limited 1998 Project Editor: Chris Hawkes First published 1998 Project Art Editor: Zoe Maggs Reprinted with corrections 1999, 2000 Picture Research: Catherine Costelloe 10 9876 5 4321 Production: Sarah Corteel Design: Graham Curd, Steve Wilson All rights reserved.

How would you like to lose the gold by one-thousandth of a second? merican Tim McKee had the misfortune to swim for AOlympic gold just as a quantum leap in Olympic timing technology overshot the bounds of common sense. When McKee competed in the 400-meter individual medley in Munich in 1972, Olympic swimming had just converted from stopwatches to the use of electronic touchpads. Official times were still sliced no finer than a hundredth of a second, but the touchpads could differentiate a winner to the thousandth of a second. McKee tied for first place with Gunnar Larsson of Sweden to the hundredth of a second, but lost by two thousandths of a second.

  • 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.
