Events

Events are anything that happens, an occurrence. The idea of an event began to take on a philosophical life of its own in the twentieth century, due to a reawakening of interest in the concept of change, to which the concept of an event seems inextricably tied, and to the growing use of the concept of an event in scientific and metascientific writing (see Broad 1933, McTaggart 1927, and Whitehead 1929). Interest in events has also been sparked by versions of the mind-body identity thesis formulated in terms of events and by the idea that a clearer picture of events will facilitate discussion of other philosophical issues.

Discussions of events have focused on whether there are events and, if so, what the nature of events is. Since whether there are events depends in part on what they would be like if there were any, the two issues have usually been treated together.

Some philosophers (e.g., J. J. Thomson) simply assume that there are events; others argue for that assumption. Donald Davidson has asserted that there are events (and actions) by arguing that, to explain the meanings of claims involving adverbial modifiers (e.g., "Jones killed Smith in the kitchen") and singular causal claims (e.g., "the short circuit caused the fire"), we should suppose that such claims implicitly quantify over, or posit, actions and events (e.g., killings, short circuits, and fires). Opponents of Davidson's analyses (e.g., Terence Horgan) have argued that alternative semantic theories, which do not posit events, are able to explain the semantic features of Davidson's target sentences.

Events inherit their spatial locations from the spatial locations, if any, of the things in which those events are changes. Events do not get their spatial locations by occupying them; if they did, then distinct events, like distinct physical objects, could not occur in the same place simultaneously. But more than one event apparently can occur at the same time and place. However, some philosophers (e.g., W. V. O. Quine) hold that events are concrete and that events and physical objects do not belong to distinct metaphysical kinds.

Though it seems clear that some events are composed of others, it is not clear what the principles are that determine when events compose more complex events. Some views of events (perhaps A. N. Whitehead's) seem compatible with there being subjectless events, events that are not changes in anything whatsoever. However, subjectless events could not be changes, for it seems absurd to suppose that there could be a change that was not a change in or of anything.

Preposition of events
The popularity of stock car racing has evolved from its southern origins to become a sport with national appeal. A key event that brought stock car racing into national prominence was when the NASCAR Winston Cup Series (stock car racing's top level, which was renamed the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series starting in 2004) introduced the Brickyard 400 race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) in 1994. The race was significant because the speedway—which for years had hosted only IndyCar Series races—was considered to be the mecca of U.S. auto racing. By racing at Indianapolis, NASCAR proved it had national—not just regional—appeal. In 2004, racetracks were located all over the United States, offering both professional- and amateur-level stock car events.

Key of stock car racing events
Stock car racing is said to have originated in 1919 to 1933 from illegal operators who needed private cars that are capable of more than ordinary speed to evade the law while transporting objects. They turned and altered ordinary cars to make them faster. Eventually, these cars were raced for pleasure and it became a popular racing event in the southeastern states.

The largest governing body in stock racing is the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing or NASCAR. It organizes premiere racing events such as the Daytona 500, Cook Out Southern 500, and the NASCAR Cup Series.

Theory
Stock car racing events usually takes place on oval tracks with 3 or 4 turns to the left. The oval tracks are classified into three: short track which is less than a mile, speedway which is 1 to 2 miles, and superspeedway which is over 2 mi. The race speeds also depend on the track but they are typically 90 mph to over 200 mph

The circuits used in stock car racing differs from those of rally and Formula One as it does not have rough terrain, sharp turns, and complicated twists and turns. It’s because stock cars are much heavier than Formula One cars, meaning, they are generally slower and they cannot produce the g-forces of an open wheel car.

Stock car racing’s fan base continues to grow in the present time and it will possibly stay as popular motorsport especially with the building of new speedways.
