Re: 2008 Budweiser Shootout

You know you would make a killing with the drug companies if the MDs were standing outside perscribing the products. If NASCAR could get a cut of it then that would be happening.

Re: 2008 Budweiser Shootout

Stoney, you are obviously very bitter, and given all you have given up for the sport of racing I can see why. But NASCAR obviously holds no pleasure for you any longer. Why do you still follow the sport? It seems like just rubbing salt in an open cut. Do you feel that your experience may have caused you to be somewhat less than objective?

No my perception is much clearer now that I understand the system. If you don't have unlimited resources or a last name like Earnhardt you cannont get to first base. Even with those two things in place the establishment has to approve of you. For instance you can be the best driver in the world but if you are ugly or overweight or can't speak well you won't make it past the local track. There are no "Bubbas" anymore frankly there is nobody for the common fan to identify with. These millionaire playboys have overtaken our sport and changed it drastically and not for the good of the fans.

So Tony Stewart is an exception to this rule?
