Racing
is an obsession that you can follow in all genres of storytelling,
from the chariot race in the epic, Ben Hur, to the pod race
in the sci-fi extravaganza, The Phantom Menace. It's no
wonder that racing drivers are regarded as the ultimate
gladiator athletes in sports history.
Wherever
the race takes them, they come, they qualify, and then they
race to finish first; many times to the death.
Learn
about Nascar and Indy cars, read the history behind those
that died enjoying it, know about those that did live and
lift the trophy, and see what draws a billion people a year
to root for their favorite.
