Jimmy Johnson posted on Twitter the other day that after recent social media posts, I’ve discontinued his relationship with his helmet painter.

I replied that “After recent press releases, I’ve discontinued my 50 year relationship as a NASCAR fan.”

That was two days ago. I’ve been getting absolutely hammered on Twitter. Hundreds of posts trashing me and calling me a redneck racist.

The final straw for me was when NASCAR said that disrespecting the flag was A-OK with them.

I also got at least 500 likes, far more than dislikes.

I’m done with NASCAR.

Lots of lowlife filth and subhuman scum on that Tweeter thing; I’ve never been to it, FarceButt, Instagram etc, and won’t ever go there. You got guts.

ALMS folded in 2013 and merged into ELMS, with ACO, under IMSA. When I could get them, I watched. WSB, WRC and MotoGP I’m not familiar with, as I don’t particularly like bike racing.

America the land of free speech. Businesses will have to be prohibited by law from taking actions against against people speaking out on their own time or we will never be able to speak freely again.
