POTUS Obama and NASCAR

Post by Silverback »

I heard that the Feds have told Chrysler and GM that their participation in NASCAR will end with the 2009 season?

If that doesn't kill his chances for re-election, nothing will.

The words is that Hyundai is in the bid for one of the slots...due to their recent development of a decent V8. I guess we know that when you take government money you take government rule.

All though I think this is in NASCAR's future, as of now it's total BS.

The origin of Nascar and the early years are cool; all the modern stuff is just boring as hell. Maybe I'm just not into it; but, a bunch of similar cars running around the same boring tracks is just boring. I'd love to see more road rally races with different kinds of cars racing around all sorts of twists and turns.
