Over the past sixty years, the American car scene has been dominated by two completely different vehicles and the entire communities that believe in them. Both designed, founded, and rooted in Detroit, Michigan, the Ford Mustang and the Corvette have continued to fuel the chase for the label of America’s true muscle car. The question over the years has been, why and how do consumers choose which to own, and which one is our “bald eagle”? Investigating deeper into the roots of each American superpower, it all began with introduction of something that would change the automotive industry forever. “Corvette: Dream Car Come True”, is an article that highlights the beginning of the car movement in the United States: the birth of Chevrolet’s Corvette. “Born in 1953 at the General Motors plant in Flint, Michigan, the Corvette grew up on the raceway and has ruled the road ever since” (Seiden 14). The article also goes on to mention that “the Corvette is not for racers only. True car lovers own Corvette cars for everyday driving… and the highest performance standards have been built into every model” (Seiden 14). Early dominance of Corvettes on and off the racetrack, led other competitors such as Ford Motor Company wonder why and how the Corvette could be out-driven and out-sold. Directly opposing the release of the Corvette and its multipurpose ingenuity “Lee Iacocca, then general manager of Ford Motor Company, challenged his design team to create a car that could be driven ‘to

Drag racing, has only one lap when Nascar, has about one-hundred to four-hundred. When a Nascar driver has won, the driver gives exhilaration to the audience by doing doughnuts or burnouts. Also, Nascar has superior stadiums and tracks than Drag racing does. When having superior stadiums, it gives people space to feel comfortable.

One thing that most people might not know is that the drivers have to have air pumped into their helmets. The reason for this is because with the amount of gear they have to wear they can’t breath well. They also have to wear fire resistant suits. Incase the car catches on fire they will be protected. With this features nascar is one of the safest sports.

Many people don’t understand every aspect of what goes, or what is happening in every sport. Yet, when it comes down to each sports there are many aspects that strike as similar, but there are also many differences.

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.”

NASCAR wasn’t always one of America’s favorite things to watch or a multimillion-dollar sport. It was actually inspired by criminal activity during the twentieth century. How racecars became part of American life goes back to the early days of prohibition and how gangsters avoided the law. During this time temperance organizations wanted to restrict or abolish the consumption of alcoholic beverages. By the early 20th century, women’s groups throughout the country viewed the sale and consumption of liquor was disrupting family life, and destroying marriages. The “Anti-Saloon League”, established in 1893, led a wave of protests in 1906 against “saloon” culture. The league had support from

Today's Indy Car series seems to be “split equally between oval races and road/street races”, according to USA Today (Ryan, N. (2011). “The Indy Racing League was an all-oval series at its 1996 inception, but gradually has moved toward a more balanced schedule since it began adding road and street courses in 2005” (Menzies, & Nguyen, 2012). This student believes that 50-50 mix of ovals and road races should be the mix of formats for future Indy car races, because of the controversial it bought on between owner and drivers. Indy Car Series has invested in a race in a foreign market with its adoption of three types of racing circuits.
