I’m surprised that this. Considering how France wussed on the Confederate Flag issue, I read him as a total Rubio PC squish.

This is actually a BIG DEAL, folks...

NASCAR, and especially NASCAR Drivers, almost ALWAYS steer clear of political BS, due to sponsorship issues, etc.

If they endorsed, it means their primary sponsors said it was OK to do so!

DONALD J. TRUMP ENDORSED BY NASCAR CEO AND DRIVERS




(Valdosta, GA) February 29th, 2016 – Today Donald J. Trump was endorsed by Brian France, Chairman & CEO of NASCAR, popular retired driver Bill Elliott, and active drivers Chase Elliott, Ryan Newman, and David Lee Regan. France, Elliott, and the drivers endorsed Mr. Trump at a rally attended by thousands in Valdosta, Georgia just one day before the Super Tuesday primary.

Mr. Trump said, “I am proud to receive the endorsement of such an iconic brand and a quality person such as Brian. Brian has a wonderful family and is an incredibly successful business person. I have great respect for Brian and I am grateful for his support and that of Bill Elliott, one of the best drivers in history, and active stock car racers, including his son Chase Elliott, Ryan Newman and David Lee Regan.”

Brian France added, “Mr. Trump is changing American politics forever and his leadership and strength are desperately needed. He has had an incredible career and achieved tremendous success. This is what we need for our country.” Bill Elliott said, “It is my great honor to endorse Mr. Trump for President of the United States. He is a leader representing strength and common sense solutions.”

These influential endorsements come just days after former Presidential candidate and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, and Senator Jeff Sessions, recognized by many as the conservative soul of the U.S. Senate, offered their endorsements of the republican frontrunner.

Mr. Trump continues to dominate in state and national polls with the most recent survey from CNN showing Mr. Trump with 49% support nationwide.

The same CEO that’s paying Jesse Jackson 6 digits every year and banned the Confederate flag?

France and NASCAR took a beating over the Confederate Flag issue so i’m sure this endorsement is “make-up sex,” as it were, with NASCAR’s fan base.

One thing for sure NASCAR’s endorsement let’s Nikki Haley, Lindsey Graham, Trey Gowdy, and the rest of the Southern wing of the GOPe know that they backed the wrong horse and they are gonna pay for it.

Just remember: if Trump becomes the nominee, we’ve got to run a proven winner like Mitt Romney to save the party.

With crowds like this, I literally cannot imagine how the establishment hacks have the least bit of credibility.

Yeah right. Only Trump supporters are impressed with his endorsements. Consider some research - no way Trump wins in general.
