Davidson is a wine and cheese private school crowd. By: Joel Gerber Sports Editor Growing up in North Carolina, college basketball is king. Our state houses several of the top college pro- , grams in the country including UNC, |) Duke, NCSU, and Wake Forest. North Carolina practically makes up the ACC, in fact they should change the name of the conference to the North Carolina Conference of Were Better at Bas- ketball Than You (NCCWBBTY for short). These teams deserve their rec- ognition as North Carolina powerhouse programs, but lately everyone seems to be in love with Southern Conference - foe Davidson, and their fresh-faced, prepubescent star Stephen Curry. Yes, I get it, theyre undefeated Being able to lax, without he anythin; lina. They played with Duke and State and Charlotte. They were so close to winning all four games, so close. Hey, 19-0 in the SoCon is impressively de- serving of a high seed in the NCAA tournament, kind of. True, Davidson had a tough non-conference schedule, playing some of the top-tier programs in the country. Dont tell anyone, but Davidson hasnt actually won any of these games. Davidson s. the , Duke? of the Southern Conference, . 2 asain got the most money, the newest facili a is ities, the richest daddies, and the snobbiest atti- tudes in our conference by far. Some may say (I may say) its because of this money and influence that theyre receiving all the buzz, not because of how well theyve been playing basket- ball. Oh, that money goes to good things, Davidson Athletics says. Why to New York (to get slaughtered); by the way, suit and tie were mandatory for admittance. Its necessary to have one of the only diving teams in North Carolina, and school-sponsored field hockey. Everybody in the general pub- lic plays those sports. Some how I get the feeling that even if Westerns tuition was $30,000 a year, we wouldnt have a diving team. Now lets talk about everyones little darling, put his face on lunchbox- es, stick him in a boyband and make Davidson coeds go crazy, superstar Stephen Curry. Dont get me wrong, Currys a phenomenal player who drains three balls from anywhere in the gym. But doesnt it seem a little suspi- cious that hes been player of the week three times (out of the last three weeks) heading into the end of the season when Davidsons pushing for a NCAA Tour- nament birth? All Im saying is this, win- ning the SoCon unchallenged every year starts to look a bit tarnished on a tournament resum (youve worked at McDonalds for how long?). Theyll probably get in, and once that happens Pll probably be rooting for them, but Davidson is still one of those teams that I love to hate. Maybe if, say, they let us win once every three or four years I would be less grouchy. : It seems with basketball season nearly over Im going to need some- thing new to talk about. Hm. I know. Lets go Davidson. I cant wait for baseball season. in the SoCon. They played with Caro- wouldnt you fly your wrestling team: Western Carolinian SPORTS NASCAR: Just a Redneck Sport? By: Jason Lineberger Staff Writer Picture a farmer in the 1930s. Hes living in North Carolina enjoy- ing a Sunday afternoon drive with his family when. suddenly sirens go screaming past. In seconds theyre gone, racing off into the distance. Darn bootleggers, he says to him- self. Now picture yourself today on a Sunday afternoon. Youre bored flipping channels when you come across a stock car race with colorful cars zipping by across your televi- sion screen. Believe it or not, youre watching the same thing that farmer did back in the 30s. Well, sort of. NASCAR drivers no longer carry bootleg moonshine and run from cops, but they do drive just as fast and just as recklessly. Those rebels of the past loved speed and eventually turned their passion for driving into formed events where the winner getting big cash. Mechanic Bill France saw the popularity of these races and decided to sanction them with rules and organization. Thus, NASCAR was formed. A lot of people arent aware that the begin- nings of this are a large part of North Carolina history. Many early driv- ers came from the state, and 90% of the NASCAR teams today reside in North Carolina. Today NASCAR has grown into a billion-dollar industry and is Americas number-one _ spectator sport. Some think of NASCAR as a redneck sport, with only South- em drivers and Southern fans, giv- en its history. However, NASCAR. has drivers from the West Coast, up North, and now influxes of drivers are from other countries. NASCAR also has a commitment-to-diversity program, focusing on drawing in dif- ferent races and cultures to a sport that gets a bad rap for being primari- ly caucasian. As far as the racetracks go, tracks span from North Carolina to New York, Texas, and as far out as California. There is even a NASCAR series in Mexico. NASCAR isnt _ forgetting where it came from however. The Southern roots of the sport will always be engraved in every race and every event that has shaped its illustrious rise. However, just as sports such as football and baseball have spread the globe, NASCAR is finding a way to do the same through great competition and a fan-friendly environment. Drivers are more accessible compared to other sports, making appearances outside the race track, even on race day. Also, unlike many other sports, fans can be right in the middle of the action. Folks flock to buy infield and garage passes where they can all but touch the cars and mingle with the heroes they cheer for. Like tailgating? Any NASCAR tailgate could match that of any college or pro football team. NASCARs skeptics still have questions however. So what if I can meet the drivers or tailgate, why would I want to watch cars going in circles for three hours? Imagine sitting in rush hour traffic after a long day of work. Your air conditioning is out, youre tired, and every other car like you wants to get to the front of the line. Now imagine doing that at 180 mph. Thats competition. Every week, ev- ery race, every turn is a new storyline. For example, in the first week of this season drivers Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch were put on a six-week proba- tion for an on- and off-track physical confrontation when emotions between the two ran high. Busch accused Stew- art of wrecking him, causing him to, as those who watch the sport like to call it, wreck him back. This led to a ru- mored swing at Busch by Stewart later on that day. Sounds like a good story to me. Maybe you ve never been inter- ested NASCAR. Youve never under- stood it. Maybe you ve heard the rap of stock car racing being for rednecks. Next time youre flipping the channels, try something new and tune in to a race. NASCAR has a little something for everyone. You just have to take some time to see it. If you have a chance to go to a race, do it. You may enjoy it more than you think. NASCAR has changed over the years, but never lost its roots. - Present Day Early 1930s
