After a long silence Ken Griffey grinned and said, “However I will tell you this. If a few years go by and you decide that nothing else can take the place of baseball in your life-- well, then, sir I’m afraid that you will have no other choice, but to return to the sport you once loved… and

In the late 1990s, two of the Branson brothers wanted to bring their children and their spouses into the business. The role that these new family members would play in the business created discussions and some altercations. Dave James in particular was opposed to bringing in family members. Dave threatened to leave, and some of the Bransons thought that was a good idea. After few months of negotiations, it was agreed that Dave James would receive one year’s severance pay, and the three Branson brothers would buy his stock in the company at its fair value. Dave James resigned from the trucking company at the end of 2011. Branson Trucking Company does not trade in any market, and it is a closely held. The only stock sales have been directly from the company to the original holders of the stock.

Bear Ridge Speedway has been part of the Bradford community for almost 50 years. That is a very successful term for any local business. At every race, there is a local business sponsor that gets to be part of the weekly race advertisements, receive an allotment of free admission passes, at-track advertisement opportunities and many photo opportunities with the winners at winner’s circle. This is a great opportunity for local businesses to get face time with community members, especially at a social gathering place like a sports track. Even so, many of the drivers are sponsored by local businesses as well. These opportunities are “a tool that can be used to promote local products and to attract investment and economic development (Baker, 2013).” Not only that, the local businesses, like the Truck Stop, Hannaford’s Supermarket and other local restaurants, get an increase in business during race nights as people stop to get drinks, gas or other things that they might need (like car parts). This means that the business generated by the track spills over to the other local businesses. As a whole, there is an economical benefit to having the race track located in Bradford. Even though this is a small track in a small community, benefits have historically been seen in other tracks throughout the country, which makes me assume there is at minimum a benefit to surrounding local businesses. “A 1999 economic impact study of the Indianapolis 500 revealed that

The sport of NASCAR is one like no other. It requires tons of physical and mental toughness. It’s not like baseball, football, or basketball, but it should always be mentioned when you talk about those sports. Until the day when NASCAR is recognized as a sport, I’m listening to Jimmie Johnson, “If somebody doesn't believe [that NASCAR is a sport and that drivers are athletes], go to one of the local driving schools and give it a shot. After you've been in the car and you climb out of the car after sweating and going through the paces, and you still don't think we're athletes, I'll listen to you then. Until then, I'm not paying attention.”

protection in the race car that might have caused some of the injuries, but overall no one was to blame. A Sports Illustrated magazine stated, “Earhardt had suffered a not uncommon racing injury: the basilar skull fracture, wherein a sharp hit to the back of the skull can damage the all-important carotid artery and cause instant death,” (Torre). Kenny Schrader really took a toll on the event because he felt guilty about the situation. NASCAR is a definitely a dangerous sport, there is no denying that! Simeone responded to a question about the risk of driving in a race by saying, “Well, that’s part of the paradox of NASCAR racing, and, indeed, the appeal of this sport is the speed; it’s the noise; it’s the fact that you get these modern-day
