People such as Dave Marcis missing the race, DW making the race, and Kyle having to take a provisional are in my mind. Strategies such as gas, horsepower, and prior testing are discussed by the tv crews. I can relate to this information since through the week I have acquired much of it through the media. Perfection and hard work are striven for by every team and person in the pits. Family is evident everywhere you look or read.
Culture is displayed as the tv crews pan on wives, traditions, and fans attending the race.
History is constantly flashing by as names such as Petty, Yarborough, and Allison are discussed by the television crews. Stories come every five minutes, of which most are ongoing from now to eternity. Winning belongs only to the elite, while loosing happens to the majority on this give day. Tradition , much like culture, is displayed in the evolution of the rules, and routines that the series brings to each track each week. Finishing 8th was good enough to help set my mood for the week.
