Quote:

Keselowski is the current Sprint Cup Series Champion, making him one of the best drivers ever to turn left hundreds of times in a row. Following an August 10 Nationwide Series win, the Zippo 200 at Watkins Glen, Keselowski gave some love to gaming, and credited part of his understanding of the track to the video games (we don’t know the titles) he played growing up that featured Watkins Glen.

“I remember I spent a whole summer when I was kind of locked in my parent’s shop, because I was just young enough to where they wouldn’t let me touch anything and just old enough to where I wasn’t getting a babysitter,” he told NBC Sports. “And I remember spending a whole summer sitting on the computer in the office area running Watkins Glen as a video game.”

When I was a flight instructor I always recommened flight simulator to my stutdents.  Not for how to fly an aircraft or the way the aircraft handled in game but for procedures using instruments.  I know its hard for some media outlets and special interest groups to believe that games can be used for something other than training eveyrone to become blood thirsty, waiting to go on a killing spree phsycopaths.  Now where did I put my axe?
