In a move sure to spark outrage, the White House announced today that GM and Chrysler must cease participation in NASCAR at the end of the 2009 season if they hope to receive any additional financial aid from the government. Companies around the globe—Honda and Audi, to name two—have drawn down racing operations, and NASCAR itself has already felt the pinch in the form of reduced team spending. A complete withdrawal from America’s premier racing series is expected to save more than $250 million between GM and Chrysler, a substantial amount considering the drastic measures being implemented elsewhere.

I still say they should have taken bankruptcy BEFORE Obama was elected.
An April Fool’s joke from Car and Driver??
Nascar won’t end. It will be Chevy Volts against Fiats.
Good thing this is a JOKE, if it were real, I think it would be the “crossing the rubicon” event so many speak of here.
OK I see it now (Duh, slapping forehead here).
The sad thing is that this administration is so power mad that this story is actually believable.
Glad it’s a joke - - for now anyway.
Tuesday I had made up my mind to keep the wife’s Durango running for another year. Today,changing my mind,I’ll go back to the Hyundai dealer and talk about signing for a Genesis. I looked at them a month ago and they are a great car. Screw OMC(Obama Motor Co.)and all the other Rat Companies that bend over! My Chevy truck will get a paint job and be good for another(24,000 miles)12 years.
Normally I am not part of the Duplicate Thread Police, but April Fool’s Day is very irritating.
If it’s a joke it got me but I still say “Screw OMC(Obama Motor Co.)and all the other Rat Companies that bend over!”
To bad the OBAMA joke is not an April fools joke.
