NASCAR Ping.
Misleading headline by the author.
What is this about? Petty's? Earnharts? Who??
Overreaction, to say the least.
Dale Jr.
Look up Haier’s goods ratings on Consumer reports. Very low and mostly rated well below everyone else.
Just another way to import illegal Chinese aliens into the United States.
Selective outrage by the author?
I would like to know how many Americans here in the US get paychecks with Toyota printed on them?
If anything I'm mad at our government for not supporting US manufacturers while letting China import their cheap products by the tons, bankrupting many US companies or forcing them to take their manufacturing outside the US just to compete with cheap imports.
What is the fascination with NASCAR? I just don’t get it.
Its for people who remember what it was like to go fast.
Thanks. Looks like he’s had a busy week. Sure would like to see him drive for Richard Childress.
Go Tony Go!
Maybe they’re going to get NASCAR stock car racing approved as a national sport for the upcoming Olympics in China!

Remember, when referring to someone as, “The King,” in something NASCAR related...that title is reserved only for His Majesty, The King, Richard Petty.
As for NASCAR sponsorships and such, they’ve opened up a bit already in the last few years, including letting liquor groups jump in, so this shouldn’t be any real surprise. And if not for Dale Earnhardt Jr. (who was docked 100 points for an illegality concerning his racecar, something Michael Waltrip can relate to, not for unwittingly upstaging Brian France) making his announcement, this would have been the big story going into Darlington. The NASCAR analysts on Fox did talk about the Chinese thing, though.
Could not be any worse than a company owned by democrat swine!!!
Actually, just as the AFC was created to attack the NFL’s football monopoly it is now time for a new circuit to attack NASCAR, whose rules have made the outcome of races very predictable. Those huge tracks stand idle most of the year and would likely welcome a new entity. All you would need would be a few drivers, say Stewart and Earnhart, and a solid outfit like Joe Gibbs Racing to get the thing going.
“As for NASCAR sponsorships and such, theyve opened up a bit already in the last few years, including letting liquor groups jump in, so this shouldnt be any real surprise.”
10 years ago, a $5 million team could get into the show on a regular basis, and manage a few top-10 finishes. Now you need $10-$12 million or more to field a car that is 35th in owners points.
NASCAR has little choice than to open up the sponsorship to anyone and everyone (and then get them into a bidding war).
What is France doing negotiating a sponsor for Ginn Racing? I know NASCAR regulates sponsor conditions, but I thought teams sought out their own sponsors?
