I see no reason to give Nascar money. They make plenty all by themselves.

I agree . . . what the hell are we funding them for . . . I’m a devout Tea Partier . . . all politics aside, what do we give them a dime for? What am I missing?

Hey, they made the USPS stop supporting a bicycle racing team. I personally watch a lot more of that than car racing but it never really made sense to me we were throwing taxpayer dollars at any sport.

Please, no hate from the NASCAR fans out there, I was always just a little uneasy sponsoring any racing team. My $.02.

Are you an advertising and marketing expert? This isn’t about giving NASCAR money. This is about effectively selling the military to the public for recruitment purposes. Can you make a convincing argument that the military could better spend (or not spend) this money, and get the same recruiting results?

The military says this is the best recruitment money they have ever spent.

With a volunteer armed forces, this might be very cheap.

I agree and turnabout is fair play- no federal loans or $ to colleges banning military ROTC on campus or recruiter visits.
