If he means nascar as a sport i don't see why not.

If someone here has nascar as a handle and he means that person, then NO

Nascar #3 was ....

Dale Earnhardt (1951-2001), American automobile racer, seven-time winner of the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) championship. Nicknamed the Intimidator for his aggressive and keen driving abilities, Earnhardt was a fan favorite across the United States.

Ralph Dale Earnhardt was born in Kannapolis, North Carolina
. As the son of NASCAR driver Ralph Earnhardt, the young Earnhardt began automobile racing when he was a teenager. He first raced NASCAR vehicles in 1975 and slowly worked his way into the Winston Cup circuit. (The Winston Cup circuit is the major annual series in stock-car racing.) Earnhardt’s first NASCAR Winston Cup win came in his 16th Winston Cup race, when he claimed the Southeastern 500 at Bristol, Tennessee, in 1979. After being named NASCAR rookie of the year in 1979, he won the NASCAR championship in 1980, becoming the first driver to win rookie of the year honors and the NASCAR championship in successive seasons. Earnhardt also won the NASCAR championship in 1986, 1987, 1990, 1991, 1993, and 1994, joining American automobile racer Richard Petty as the only seven-time winners of the championship.

Despite his overall success, for many years Earnhardt had repeated and well-publicized disappointments at the Daytona 500, the premier event in stock-car racing. In 1990 he led for most of the race, but he suffered a cut tire on the last lap, which prevented him from winning. In 1995 he finished second, trailing winner Sterling Marlin by only 0.61 seconds. In 1996 he placed second by an even smaller margin, trailing winner Dale Jarrett by 0.12 seconds. In 1998 Earnhardt entered his 20th Daytona 500 and finally won the event, cementing his reputation as one of the greatest NASCAR drivers ever. In 2001 Earnhardt was killed after he crashed his car into a wall during the last lap of the Daytona 500.

Isn't this something we should let the courts decide? I mean... its just not right for us to pass judgement without all the facts.

Oh... that's right... this makes you look morally superior. Post on.

Frogman, you are a moron.

Frogman's not a moron just incapable of forming an opinion with respect to those who have died as a result of accidents. I'd love to see him reference a military enagement, with the same respect he gave earnhart, in a room full of soldiers. He wouldn't last a minute.

NO if its an american super hero.

Ok, so thus far we've discovered the following:

1.) Frog has bad taste in jokes.

2.) X2Lee is that bratty kid in 3rd grade always telling on people.

Carry on.

I'll answer with another question:
Don't we need respect for the men who dies in a race as to the men that dies under a bulldozer or protesting??

Well, regarding the bulldozer, some say it was an accident some don't. The initial photo released was photoshopped, I'd have to find the link again. I respected her opinion, I jumped the gun on the inital post that I made in a thread about her.

The dumbsh*t that fell of a bridge, shouldn't have been doing what he was doing in the first place. In this case you have to ask yourself," If I ran a red light deliberately and killed someone would you respect me?"

Arguing whether it's right gloat over one person's death, compared to another is ridiculous.

I have to laugh at the people getting their panties in a wad over Earnhardt, while only a few weeks ago they were openly gloating over some girl's death under the tracks of a bulldozer. Both are tragedies. On the one hand Earnhardt died because of accident competing in a dangerous sport he knew inside out. On the other hand a girl died, at best in accidental circumstances, but at worst in a vicious attack on her person. Yet people sympathise with the sports star and pour scorn on the dead girl. I would have thought both deserved sympathy.

It's a funny old world.

Actually... There is quite a bit of irony in regards to Ernhardt's death. He has single handedly put more people into the wall than virtually any other NASCAR racer. He was a great driver and died due to the type of driving he re-invented.

I also find the idea of mourning someone that went out of their way to put themselves in danger to be a bit rediculous.

Neither were really darwin award winners, but both went to great lengths to contribute to their own demise.
