Drag star Justin Ashley will skip Monday's Dodge Great Lakes Nationals because it is Yom Kippur.

Well good for him...a man needs to stand for something.

[Bon of Babble]

Good for him!

Reminds me of this:

“Sandy Koufax of the Los Angeles Dodgers famously refused to pitch in Game 1 of the 1965 World Series because it fell on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.”

Good for him. For many people, faith is more important than their jobs. This should not be a shock to people. I recall Sandy Koufax did something similar.

SPONSORS PAY GOOD MONEY FOR THESE TEAMS

NOT SURE WHAT TO THINK.

While I admire his fortitude, did he not read the fine print? I am sure it states that races on a Saturday and Sunday. Just like I am sure pro athletes (at least some) aren’t happy they play on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter, but they like cash so they play according to their contracts.

Oh...I thought it was ANOTHER DRAG RACE he was boycotting!! However, it is a NHRA Drag race, a better kind of DRAG RACE!!
