No disrespect to this Dale fella, but this for one is totally off topic. This isn't a hot deal, and you guys know it, stop wasting forum space and take it to the OFF TOPIC forum. Whine and moan about it in their.
On another note....
I think racing is a waste of gas, I mean a bunch of cars driving in circles..... I wouldn't even consider it a sport.... not to say it isn't cool to drive, but I go to the arcade, I do practically the same thing playing Daytona USA, cept I don't waste gas, I don't have to deal with G forces or risking my life, and I'm nice and comfy in an air conditioned room. If Auto Racing is a sport, why isn't playing video games considered a sport?
Whats more important to you people? Having people like Dale die in these types of exibitions for your entertainment? The risk is very real, you know it, I know it, and the American people know it (Hehehe). Why get all attached to these sports figures when the sport itself is what kills some of them? Besides the man lived a better life then practically all of us could have ever dreamed of. I'd rather live 50 years having a great time, then 100 years living miserably. People die, get on with it.
