@HistoryJumpman might wanna know what @NBCNews reports about how #MichaelJordan bought a #NASCAR Team | @StreetMuscleMag
'That word' (below-hyperlinked to the NBC News report) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
NASCAR (the National #Association for Stock #Car Auto #Racing) was founded in 1948 in Daytona Beach Florida.
The word "Association" is built on ancient words that mean Companion- or |Ally To (to Unite with, Follow, |Join). #Associate #Associative #Associates
The word "Car" is built on ancient words that mean "to Run" (originally the |Cart of a Two-Wheeled Celtic War-|Chariot, later used for the |Passenger Coaches & |Freight Carriages of the |Locomotive Train ... not applied to Automobiles until the first-or-second decade of the 20th Century). #CarPark #CarSick #CarPool #CarWash #BoxCar #CableCar #Carport #FlatCar HandCar #HorseCar #Motorcar #StreetCar #CarBomb
The #StockCar is literally 'an automobile that hasn't been altered from the factory-build.' The NASCAR-tracks are a little rougher than the streets, so NASCAR-teams need to do a little tinkering;
but I think their stock-cars still have to be 'street legal' (as opposed to the #RaceCar, which lacks the inhibitions required for the safety of pedestrians & -other drivers) ... and I would be wrong in thinking that! 🤣
The word "Racing" is built on ancient words that mean "to |Rush |Headlong, Hasten, Enter Rashly" or -that mean a Strong Current of Water or any Forward |Movement (not directly related to- but influenced by-Race).
#NASCARdad in U.S. political parlance, "small-town, often Southern white man who abandons traditional Democratic leanings to vote Republican at least once every four years" was coined 2003 by Democratic pollster Celinda Lake
