I am a 47-year-old part time student at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. I am majoring in Mechanical Engineering. While I am attending school I have a job at Ford Motor Company in Dearborn, Michigan. The Department I work in has three shifts which means that I cannot bite off more than I can chew when working the off shifts. So it is going to be one class at a time unless my job changes.

     Since NASCAR® is a part of all the Auto industries durability testing there is a lot more preparation that goes into one race which starts years a head.  I have been to a lot of races and have noticed a cultural differences between the fans in the bleachers vs. the infield. Since this was only one weekend of racing observations the information about this topic would not be fair to say that all Racetracks are the same. Each track has different cultural events that take place at the tracks. This will show up on
