This could be the straw that breaks the camels back. Bet once this word is out to everyone his approval ratings drop significantly....just a guess but there are too many fans of that sport to just ignore it.

Well, I do too, so long as we keep politics out and only talk about the man as a man and not as a politician. But still, the mere mention of a politician's name could be construed as stepping into politics.

Anyways, I think it would be impossible for anyone to order major car bands to just up and leave NASCAR, that would literally just about destroy the sport for at the very least the next few years to come; Aside from Ford and Toyota who have actually invested alot to meet NASCAR's stringent rules, I seriously doubt another car maker can simply step in to replace the MASSIVE gap that GM and Crysler will leave.

You can;t blame me. The cars all look the same since they are! Rely on driver "skill"? Haha maybe they should throw in some right turns, REAL cars, and make it more exciting. Sorry butI just find NASCAR to be the most rediculously boring form of motorsport...EVER!

WOW! 15 Toyotas!!!??? I guess F.A.R.T was an absolutely wasted effort, because they almost equal the sum of BOTH Fords and Dodges!

V Knows what F.A.R.T is, and I do not mean a flatus [sm=52_52.gif]

From my point of view, I find NASCAR as the devil as it squeezed out CART and other racing. Oval racing to me is boring...except where there are wrecks of course

Left turn, left turn, herecomes my favourite part...ANOTHER left turn!

All the cars are the same except little changes in bodystyle and the engines. There is no way that obama would take chevy out of nascar isnt chevy a "American Tradition"?
