Hear the Roar

       Batesville Motor Speedway is a very memorable place for me and many others. I always remember going to the races with my Grandpa and the sound, smell, and taste overwhelming me. The smell of popcorn and motor oil rushing through your nose, and the roar of the engines and the screaming crowd beating your ear drums.
       The sight of the speedway is amazing. The aggressive drivers, the jumping and moving crowd, and the ambulance and firetrucks awaiting a crash, gives you a rush of excitement. It is devastating when there is a crash. Some people think it is exciting to watch, but others, those that are the family of a racer, are in shock because they don't know if there driver will be ok.
        I have many memories with family and friends at the Batesville Motor Speedway. This is why I feel it is an important part of my life.
