NASCAR will allow up to 1,000 Florida service members, representing the Homestead Air Reserve Base and U.S. Southern Command in Doral, to attend the Cup Series race Sunday as honorary guests and view the race from the grandstands.

For NASCAR homo pride month, and you gotta wear a face mask? LOL. I’m so old I remember when NASCAR was the opposite of this BS.

PA dirt tracks are cheaper, no masks, no screening.

I have been one NASCAR race and a few dirt track ones as a teen.

Give me dirt track.

No longer care. First LGBTQ pandering. And, now more recently BLM pandering. I’m done.
