Finding Inspiration in a Limbo Between Reality and Fantasy
As someone who loves to write about and generally immerse myself in the world of fiction and fantasy, there have been instances (rare ones), where I have felt the the need to rationalise all of it. As if to convince myself that there is more to exploring fantasy than just fun. And indeed, one could make strong arguements on how it's not an escape from reality, but a way of understanding it. Or, how fantasy reveals the truth, which reality obscures (and etc.).

Getting into Formula One
An ambitious seven-year-old boy becomes a mechanic in order to gain vital knowledge in pursuit oh his dream of being a Formula One driver. He has a difficult life—as he is misunderstood and somewhat neglected by his family. He befriends an outcast (refugee) whilst spending a lot of time in his room studying and embarks on adventures on his journey to achieving the ultimate goal. Despite living through such disappointments as being expelled from a formula one garage (being falsely accused of leaking information to a competitor’s spy) he finds the inner strength to overcome all predicaments, defying all odds whilst re-inventing himself in the process. George is very determined to achieve success in F1; however, his hot headed personality and his stubborn character provoke many setbacks on his road to success.

Best Places to Watch a NASCAR Race
NASCAR is definitely a spectator sport you either understand or you don't. For those of us in the know, nothing is quite as awesome as watching cars roaring on the track as they race for the Number One position.

My Favourite Picture Ever
I’m supposed to be tidying my room, but everything distracts me. I am now paging through my photo album. It has all my favourite pictures in it. My most favourite is the very last one. Save the best for last, you know.

Top NASCAR Drivers
NASCAR is a sport that is relatively new compared to baseball or tennis, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have legends. Many of the top NASCAR drivers of all time are household names, major sports celebrities, and have wins that would make most of our jaws drop.

How To Become a NASCAR Driver
As an avid fan of South Park, one of my favorite episodes happens when Cartman becomes a NASCAR driver. In the often-messed up cartoon series, Eric Cartman cried about being unable to attain his dreams of being a race car driver because he wasn't "poor and stupid" enough.

How Much Money Do NASCAR Drivers Make?
NASCAR isn't like Major League Baseball or any other "mainstream" sport, at least, not in reputation. Most people don't really assume that NASCAR drivers make a lot of money — though some drivers really are wealthy.

Must Know Female NASCAR Drivers
Most people see NASCAR as a men's sport, and that's a shame. Stock car racing can be just as friendly to women as it is to men, and there are many girls out there who do want to get in on the racing action.

Richest NASCAR Drivers
Being a car enthusiast is definitely a hobby that's more suitable for people with money to burn, but that doesn't mean that regular salaries can't allow you to enjoy the car fun. NASCAR stock car racing is currently one of the most famous car-related sports in the world, and while most of us aren't rich enough to do it, there's still plenty of fun watching it.

Fastest Muscle Cars
Muscle cars are all about power. That's why they are muscle cars. They are meant to have powerful engines, and they are meant to be able to race with the best of them.

17, Fast and Furious, Buy A Fucking Volvo
I remember the first time I met my baby. Walking past the bramble on my suburban block, I looked down on the gravel. I saw my black Chuck Taylor's, I saw the sparkles in the gravel contrasted deftly against that dull gray curb. It was a day, it could have been any day, just a day. The sun was out, maybe it wasn't.

History of Drag Racing
Drag racing remains one of the most wide-spread racing subtypes in America. Like many long-standing institutions, it has existed for so long that many never question its origins. It is like the mountain: who cares why it is, so much that it is.
