*559Marshall, Presiding Justice,
dissenting.
The majority has seen fit to impose a most strained interpretation on words of common meaning, i.e., “racing event” and “speed contest.” The Court of Appeals opinion follows common sense and ordinary logic in interpreting words and phrases used daily by millions of individuals. Without further beating of a dead horse, suffice it to say that all “events” and “contests” and, indeed, “exhibitions” are not commercial in nature. When the three nouns are preceded by the word “any” in a category excluded coverage by the policy terms, the policy excludes both commercial and noncommercial events, contests and exhibitions.
I respectfully dissent.
