Some pretty good stories have come out of this track about those who raced there with fierce abandon and paid the price..

Saddle up and ride along as we see who The Lady in Black kisses this time.

Who's gonna get a stripe or two this race? Cinch it up real tight for Saturday Night!!

I had a great day going for my team until my D driver booted my B driver and the Biff faded.

I always enjoy the threads and appreciate your commentary Norm and I wish FR had a LIKE button like Face Book...

It cost me breakfast for 5 this Wednesday @6:30. I had Hambone, my challenger had Jimmie. Dang It!

[eyedigress]

I wish I could have been active on the thread but company was around and it was a post Blue Angels party. I scored decent but the grill was active and I was busy losing bets! :^)

[tubebender]

You’re one lucky Dawg. I managed 304 points thanks to my 16 Q score and I actually moved up two spots gaining 4 on the Icky Slug Slime...

[happydogx2]

Agreed. It’s scary. And eerie. My methodology is the same as the last few years but my drivers are finishing well and not crashing. I’d go to Vegas but I’d end up selling my blood and hair.

Has anyone posted the Betty McCollum story wanting to take the National Guard out of NASCAR - of course she’s toying with a hornets nest - getting blasted on Twitter.

Panel approves McCollum measure to ban spending on NASCAR #defense #budget #NASCAR

Dale Jr fights back

Obviously she’s a Democrat that won’t say ‘under God’ in the pledge of allegiance — these are the idiots we send to Washington.

I tried to do a post on this but it seems impossible

Minnesota Congresswoman Betty McCollum just won’t take “no” for an answer.

For at least the third time in recent years, the Democratic Representative is pushing to cut Pentagon funding for NASCAR teams, in an effort to save taxpayers’ money. An amendment introduced by McCollum and Georgia Rep. Jack Kingston passed the House Appropriations Committee this week, and could ultimately be headed for a floor vote. The amendment would reduce or eliminate advertising dollars for motor sports, fishing, wrestling and mixed martial arts events, and is virtually identical to one floated by McCollum in February of 2011.

McCollum represents Minnesota’s Fourth District, which includes the capital city of St. Paul. Her website says she brings “a common sense, Minnesota perspective to her work on the House Appropriations and Budget Committees” and has been “a champion for excellence in education, protecting the environment, expanding health care access and fiscal responsibility.”

She is also no fan of NASCAR.

Anti American betch!!! I get sick to my stomach at the marxists that walk the halls of Congress.

[WestCoastGal]

I’m also sick & tired of these socialist/communist atheists that lie to people to get to Washington and then make a mess.

[WestCoastGal]

I will try one more - this place is pretty dead.

She thinks budgets aren’t necessary

Hey, if you see any of the old posters around, tell ‘em we’re open for now but maybe not much longer. we may light a viking funeral ship yet on this edition of race threads.

Nascar is so far gone these days from what it used to be,, it ain’t funny. ;-]

methinks the lady is full of baloney and very short-sighted, this is one of the cheapest ways to advertise.. and has a bigger return in investment than a lot of other events or activities..

[tubebender]

You picked a bad time to leave me loose... Norm?

[B4Ranch]

When you fly over a crowd of rednecks, every guy in the place says to himself, “Dang, I wish that was me up there.” The Commie Congresswoman knows that, but she doesn’t like men who stand up and say, “Ma’am, don’t piss on us and try to tell us it’s raining. Tell us the truth about the situation or get off the talking stand and allow an honest person to speak to the crowd.”

She’s not concerned with how many men join the military ranks each year because she knows her kids won’t be among them.She’ll kick the can on down the road and let someone else take care of the problem.

The other things about NASCAR crowds that I know really eats at her guts is the entire crowd stand up and bows their heads to the Lord and then raises up and stands tall while our national anthem is being sung. That is two of the most painful things a communist can watch which is why our children are forbidden from doing them in public schools.

[WestCoastGal]

Well said - I hope there’s enough people left to vote slugs like her out of office. There is a guy running against her. I’m hoping she picked the wrong time to start this.

Here is his website - if anyone knows people in Minnesota, now is the time to get busy and get rid of dumb Betty.

Sadly there’s a Republican in Georgia who is co-sponsoring with her. Dale Jr has invited him for a ride along. :)

[WestCoastGal]

It definitely is - but when was the last time a Dem thought logically about anything?
