Well, it does show up if you Google it, on car and driver, and also Road and Driver. And Jared Gall is a writer for them. I suppose it could be craftily entered in to the internet as an April Fool’s joke.....but......
april fools
WHAT?!?!?
LOL — this is April Fools, right?
No way.
I refuse to believe Barack Obama would be THIS stupid.
Ha! Good one...
So far Car and Driver and another article from Autospies.com:
Sump’n funny going on. The link goes to article 7 of 210. If you push “next” you go to article 7 of 209. Hit “previous” and the NASCAR article is not there anymore. And there are still only 209 articles. Hmmm...
I read a few of the comments after the artice and people were slamming NASCAR fans, saying things along the line of “It’s about time they outlawed this red-neck sport”.
Whether or not this story is true or not, it is scary that some folks would be HAPPY that the Government would dictate (or even care) what some of the American people consider sport.
NASCAR fan or not, we can not let this (or any) Government have this much control.
Sadder yet, some fools think that the Government should have that exact authority.
If Americans really feel this way about NASCAR (or any sport), they have the God-given right to vote with their very own pocket books (as long as the so-called U.S. Government hasn’t raided the pocket book too far).
This moron knows nothing about marketing, which makes sense because he knows nothing about business. His background is in socialism/marxism and goverment strong arming.
I’ve seen it reported elsewhere, but I still suspect April 1 joke.
Obama can’t kill NASCAR. . . he’s cruisin for a bruisin.
ADVERTISING is what NASCAR is all about. Obambi must think those are real Chevy’s out there off the showroom floor.
GM May not survive anyway, but NASCAR will. When Winston cup got canned, it was a minor ripple in NASCAR......and 2 years later all was normal again.
Does no one remember that during the campaign, possibly about a year ago, there was news that Obama was “flirting” with the idea of being a “sponsor” of a Nascar car? It was seen to be some kind of novel campaign move, fraught with dangerous possibilities though, so they scrapped it. Another thing that makes me believe it’s an April Fool’s joke..
April 1, xxxx
Yes. A good joke.
Someone Recruit some brothers from tha hood fer NASCAR drivers.
We uns gonna hafta play tha Race card on BHO If’n he don’t change his mind.
I just hope that any dumb asses who are NASCAR fans and yet voted for Oboooomba or any of the demoRAT socialist candidates (and I bet there are a ton of those type of dumb ass voters) will finally get their heads out of the sand (or other hidden orifices) and throw the demoRAT bums & Oboooomba out of office as soon as possible...... preferably before 2010!!!
Good job Car and Driver....a lot of hearts stopped for a second.
If only...if only this had been true...would have guaranteed Democrats loss of power for generations...and we wouldn't have to have waited for an election for it to happen.
I wonder how "coup de tat" is said in NASCAR-speak....that would've happened.
I fell for it, have to admit...made sense with President Obama out of the country
Kind of hoped he wouldn't have been allowed to return....
Sadly, an April Fools joke like this could only be this good if it is believable.
Nope, not buying it. Can’t find the story anywhere else. This one’s a hoax.
I saw the headline earlier today on FR. I thought it was satire, so didn’t even read the story. Now my jaw is dropping. I hope the Florida voters who turned that state blue are going to me happy with the changes coming to Daytona.
The List, ping
