Yeah, getting hosed over by NASCAR was fine for Mark, because it happened in 1990.

This was a good piece. I'm still on the fence about the idea itself being good or bad, but I'm pretty wary about how it's being executed.

Not one thing about this surprises me. Trump's in the news more than just about anything and Brian just wants more exposure for himself and the brand. If any other candidate from either party had nearly as much TV time, I'm sure he'd be with that person instead.

I mean, come on, the old man brought Bill Clinton to the Southern 500 during the 1992 campaign trail - two months after Bush Sr. went to Daytona.

On the one side, I get that. Like, if he'd done this with ANY other candidate I'd just be like yeah cool fine, but Trump. I mean, the dude just also got an endorsement from the Grand Dragon of the goddamn KKK. That is going to disprove the adage that any publicity is good publicity.

I'm going to write or tweet to the title sponsors and NAPA. And Newman's sponsor, whoever that is. I'm also not planning on buying or wearing any NASCAR gear until this is hashed out. I don't really have much desire to be associated with that bigoted, racist, fascist piece of poo poo at all.

No one should have to apologize for their political affiliation, and believe me being a liberal in Idaho I get that, but France, in combination with the Elliotts and tinfoil hat man, has made us as NASCAR fans look like even worse rednecks, and I am having a hard time justifying to myself why I should support NASCAR any longer.

Brian France did Dumb poo poo, news at 11.

To be honest, after a week of thinking about it, I realize that I can either know that every NASCAR driver hates all the values I hold dear and quit the sport, or I can say, "Meh, gently caress it," and keep bitching about the sport (not the political issue) on the internet. I'm going to do the latter.

E: To add re: bigot, I'm sure that contingent saying "If you don't like guns and Jesus, get out", would support the burning of gay people in the infield followed by the stoning of women who had abortions immediately after that prayer, all while shouting about what an oppressed minority they are.

Hey guys! Sorry to not do this in the bingo thread, but I absolutely cannot do bingo this weekend. I'm flying out of town to run in a race that will be run on Sunday. I can post cards if we close it early, say 7pm Mountain on Friday. Do I have a taker to run bingo, or has the game run its course? What say you all?

Chase Elliott notably missing.

E: For the record, I think it's cool of Bubba, Kyle, Jimmie and Joey to participate in this. Nothing against them. I just think Brian France saying he supports the fight against discrimination while supporting a presidential candidate who wants to ban entire groups of people from entering the country is pretty disingenuous.

It's hilariously hypocritical but at least serves to counteract the trump poo poo. And D4D at least predates the trump support.

Every time I think about those drivers and France endorsing trump I die a little more inside

That's why I'm going to focus on this. Also because I think Larson and Bubba are awesome. Hopefully Brian France can limit his bumbling ineptitude to the racetrack, at least until November.
