NASCAR said Thursday that five drivers — Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch, Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick and Tony Stewart — will not be attending the White House visit due to “schedule conflicts.”

Is Carl still the points leader? I haven't been able to keep up with the season. Anyway, will sure be cheering these five on.

This is a great comparison picture. I suspect the number of Americans preferring Perry in it greatly outnumbers those supporting ? ? ? on the right.

The enemedia would probably describe Perry as a dangerous warmonger and The One as a philosophical young scholar. gag

Thanks. Then, our boys — the Freedom Five:):) -— need the cheering on. Come on, Carl; he has the best chance. Baby needs new shoes....

This is the President that probably wants to trade their current race cars in for racing Smart cars.

Yeah, there was a time, long ago, when the drivers and crews (self made men) were what made NASCAR. As it is with all things money talks and nowadays the drivers and crews are just employees of NASCAR.

I thought the drivers and crews were employed by the teams?

That’s why Tony Stewart left Gibbs to form his own team.

The first rule of sponsorship is that 40% of the money goes to the owner as “management fees”.

I have been becoming less and less interested in following nascar. All good things must end so, since nascar has embraced obama, hell with nascar. Unless forced to, I do not have anything to do with anything that is remotely affiliated with obama. I got along well before I even tknew that there was such a thing as nascar, I will survive without it.

For a sport that prides itself on patriotism, having so many drivers **accept** the president’s invitation simply seems strange.

I agree with your statement.

me and nascar are not going to miss each other.
