CINTAS and naked drivers

Has anyone heard the advertisement urging (tongue-in-cheek, I'm sure) the drivers to forsake their driving uniforms and drive naked? To quote Dave Barry, I am not kidding!

The theme is that the CEO of CINTAS is on the board of directors for the Kentucky Speedway and is behind the law suit trying to force a Cup date there. The apparent fly in the ointment is that CINTAS is "The Official Uniform" of NA$CAR and is the producer of the Cup uniforms? (I didn't know that - information, anyone?)

Talk about taking a nip out of the hand that feeds you...

I was slow, slow, slow at doing my research. Sorry. I just found the following:

Tell NASCAR to Black Flag Cintas

It starts:

Tell NASCAR to Black Flag Cintas

Join thousands of fans in asking NASCAR to stop Cintas Chairman Richard Farmer and his partners at the Kentucky Speedway from ruining local NASCAR racing.

The owners of the Kentucky Speedway have filed a lawsuit against NASCAR because they want a Nextel Cup Race moved to their track. If it is successful, NASCAR will be changed forever:


Maybe I'm just a bit on the pessimistic side but it sure reads like this little ditty was given birth at NA$CAR headquarters.

What a bunch of crap... was there any of this BS when Texas sued to get a second date. If any of this is true then these are a bunch of damn fad fans who don't know jacksh!t about NA$CAR.

Let's face it, Dustin, there are legions of people out there, who aren't ISC/NASCAR employees, or MRN employees (read: Dave Moody, Steve Post and Barney Hall) who believe, outside The Chosen Rule, ISC/NASCAR can do very little wrong.

That's the sad part.
