  • Backwards Across the Line
    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.

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.
