Seems awhile back, Jr said he thinks everyone should see Fahrenheit 911. That it was a great "bonding experience."
No one knows what was meant by that remark.
I have always been under the impression that he and his family are Republicans.
The Earnhardt family, as well as many of the Nascar drivers and fans, are Republicans. President Bush visited with Earnhardt's widow after his death. During an interview, Junior made a comment about encouraging others to see Fahrenheit 911, and to keep their "mind open". I have heard him say in an interview a couple months ago that he was Republican.
Just saw the video on CBS...he spun out and backed it into one of the barriers. Undercar cam showed fuel splash all over and CRUMP, the gas goes up. Closeup shows flames all in the cockpit and Jr. is just sitting there, making no move to get out, appears he was stunned momentarily by the impact. Seconds go by and then you see the door open and he falls out, half pulled away by track workers who have NO fire protection gear on, on guy just runs/jumps thru the flames and black smoke to get to him. Jr. crawls and get's dragged away from the flaming hulk...
Report from a DEI source at the hospital, some minor burns on his legs and arms. Man, those flames were ALL OVER the car in a flash...
Hope he's gonna be OK...
GRRRRR
I guess it is in poor taste to note irony with f911
