I’m not sure if it was a slight against NASCAR so much as a slight against the South.

NASCAR, the FANS, Southerners in general, Republicans, Conservatives, Rednecks, working class people, people who drink, smoke and otherwise enjoy the fruits of their labors, people who don't drive hybrids, people who own guns, people who believe in God and Jesus is His Son, people who have money not Monet, People who drink from cans and mason jars not champaign glasses......

What I find amazing about this story is that Democrats have been pretty good at getting elected in the South even as the South has become more conservative - they can’t get elected without some understanding of the region - and racing is a part of the region just like Bar-B-Q and football and church and Sunday dinner. Its hard to believe that no Democrat had the political sense to say “this is really offensive and even if we don’t care about being offensive we at least should care about getting elected.”

This was just really, really, stupid on their part.

More like the poor and the unwashed who go to TASCAR events. Tell them that they should get shots by going to an event with large numbers of black people in attendance and we know where that one goes....
