I'd put this in World Events, tho.
(Yep, World Events is better for this sort of thing... no matter, easily moved.)

I guess all that going in circles got to him.

I don't see how this is a world event. It's not like he was an important world figure. D:

They should this season, with Juan Montoya and Michael Schumacher (sp) driving full-time Cup schedules...

But they just go round and round in circles. Formula One is much more interesting. Even Schumacher himself agrees:

The thing I like NASCAR more than open-wheel racing, is that in open-wheel, even a minor crash can end your day in the race, whereas in stock car racing, you can beat and bang on each other's cars and keep going.

That's another reason why I prefer open-wheel racing. If you hit something, your car practically explodes. Much more fun.A

I think of "World Events" as being anything you're likely to read about in a big city newspaper.

And, open-wheel races tend to end rather boring, as one car is so dominating that it wins by several seconds, whereas in stock-car, lots of races end in neck-and-neck finishes, especially at places like Daytona and Talladega.R

The thing is there are a lot of people who don't like racing, be it with stock car or Formula 1 drivers.
