Michelle Obama to Serve as…Grand Marshal of NASCAR 400?

Billed as part of first lady Michelle Obama’s “Joining Forces” initiative for military families — and perhaps as a way to woo average American voters — Mrs. Obama and Vice President Joe Biden’s wife, Dr. Jill Biden, will serve as Grand Marshals of the November 20 season-ending NASCAR Ford 400.

Nothing surprises me about NASCAR anymore.

....nothing good will come of this.

I wish I was going to be there to hear the major major Boofest. I love it when they introduce Dems at NASCAR.

What is the seating capacity of the track and does the broadcaster have the technology to block out that many boos and extended middle fingers. They will be about as warmly recieved as soap and lysol at an OWS protest.

Just waiting...

for the lead turd to hit the punch bowl.

I would like to say in advance (in case I am not there)

BOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOO GO HOME! YOU SKANK!

All she needs is 4 carburetors and 4 wheels and she’s ready to roll!

[Jack Hydrazine]

Has it happened before?

They want black fans.

They will pay the price. I’ve quit watching and so have any number of my conservative friends. The stuff will hit the fan when the track owners start to feel the pinch of this at the gate! Southern Pride has given way to big bucks! The other thing is that there is no real competition in NASCAR. Toyota doesn’t even build a car with anything approaching the engine that they use in their NASCAR program. It even has a Chevy bell housing bolt pattern so they can use transmissions that the Chevy teams use directly. NASCAR was more fun to watch when they ran modified production cars.

You could also fire of an email or a hand-written letter by snail mail to NASCAR letting them know you don’t like seeing NASCAR being used for political purposes and will be doing activities other than watching the race.

NASCAR has a long history of being in bed with the politicians. Which is why this doesn't surprise me.

I’m waiting for the announcement that they will use one engine/one chassis and the only difference will be the stickers. We are almost there.

Great idea - I'm going for it.

The left has darn near finished off everthing else.

Stick a fork in NASCAR too.

They know you will show up because, after all, everyone has something they like.
