My sister and her husband are BIG fans of NASCAR. Me, personally? Meh. Just a lot of noise.
They told me about Dale Sr.'s accident, and said he brought it on himself. He had a dirty method of sliding up to people and bumping them from behind until they lost control and crashed. I don't think anyone was seriously hurt or died as a result, but it was still dirty pool.
Well, karma has its ways. I can't remember if she said he was doing it again and lost control of HIS car, or if someone else was pulling a little turnabout, but it was because of that particular stunt that he spun out and wrecked.
But yeah, I remember people falling apart around here (Michigan) after that. People taking time off work, etc. Geez -- you didn't see anyone do that when the WTC were hit (here, at least). It's just another example of how twisted we've become in the ways we idolize people -- sports figures are considered heroes, but REAL heroes, the people who save lives day in and day out, are forgotten.
