NASCAR ought to implement right turns

Value: Culture For today's debate we must look at what better enhances culture. Culture defines our quality as a nation and that which better enhances culture is inherently making the nation better as a whole because of the fact that we would, as a people, be better united and have a better national identity making that which better unites the nation, or unifies the most amount of people, the better of the two sides in today's debate. Value Criterion: Uniting forms of entertainment As stated previously, that which better unifies a country best promotes culture thereby bettering the nation as a whole because of the increased quality of unity as well as overall happiness and patriotism. So the side that best unites the nation is the side that will be winning today's debate. Observation: I'm not bound as the affirmative to argue to keep the same tracks and can argue for any rebuilding of circuits. This obviously just serves to make sure that those judging don't assume that I'm arguing that we intentionally wreck and risk lives. Contention 1: Right turns prevent the boredom of those watching, increasing entertainment. If you ask anyone who is familiar with NASCAR, they will tell you the best part of the race is a wreck. While I'm not arguing we intentionally wreck, the added difficulty in performing right-hand turns adds to the likelihood of a collision occurring. If more collisions occur, races will be more entertaining, thereby increasing the popularity of NASCAR and in turn the actual number of NASCAR fans uniting our country and increasing the quality of our culture and in turn our nation which is overall a good thing. Also, by increasing the difficulty of being a driver, we would be increasing the skill needed to be a successful competitor. With this increased skill it would be much more enjoyable to watch simply because we'll be more impressed with the actual ability of these "new and improved" drivers. Contention 2: Right turns make the race less visible at all times making people less willing to see the race in person, this helps diminish the risk of skin cancer as well as drunk-driving and dehydration. In order for a culture to exist, there has to be people. Therefore, the more people that are able to participate in cultural activities, the more likely that a cultural aspect will be enjoyed; not only that, but if there is a clear identity of a larger population country, then that implies incalculable unity because of the prevalence of this aspect. So whatever maximizes the amount of these good outcomes would increase the likelihood of increasing the quality of culture as a whole. With right turns being implemented in NASCAR, the race would not be entirely visible from the stands making it less likely that one would wish to see the race in person. While it's a bad stereotype, NASCAR and alcohol consumption seem to go hand-in-hand; meaning that the less a person drives, (or the less amount people as a whole drive), after a race, the less likely he or she would be to drive under the influence making the amount of alcohol-related deaths go down increasing the amount of lives saved. Furthermore, the less people are exposed to the sun's UV rays, the less likely it will be that used-to-be spectators will get skin cancer, once again showing how the reduction of live spectators to races saves lives. And quickly going back to the alcohol-usage point, since people will not be outside while drinking, (which they would be if they were live-spectating), they will not run as high of a risk of dehydration proving thrice-over that right-turns saves lives meaning an increase in the quality of culture due to the shear numbers of those involved making the affirmative side the preferred side in today's debate.
