This site created and edited by RaceZing Designs . There has been such talk about this win, I can't help but acknowledge it. Perhaps the win on Monday was the work of the racing Gods after all, telling us that it was time for us to move on from our tragic loss, but in doing so, we must take care not to lose the lesson. That's a very difficult question.
People choose their heroes for very different reasons.
Webster's Dictionary defines a hero as someone who displays great courage or nobility, and one who is admired for his exploits. I have read many articles this past week lambasting race fans for calling Dale Earnhardt, or any race car driver for that matter, a hero. I am incensed at the thought of someone telling me who can and cannot be a hero. A hero isn't just a man who jumps in a car, turns left and goes fast. A hero isn't some guy who puts on some high tops and shoots hoops.
