>I usually pull for the Fords.I nominate that for the official motto of every tow truck company in America
ROFLOL! Good one!
Kinda like that commercial with the hot chick that's asking for help with her broken Toyota and the guy drives off all of a sudden. He knows that the "chick" is really a bad guy and, when questioned by his passenger, explains, "You ever seen a Toyota break down?"
LOL

Yes, and you're not the only one with a strange sense of humor.

I hope you aren't interchanging "strange" with "satirical", for I used to exchange my "meat loaf" sandwiches with a good friend for his "chitlin' " sandwiches while we built projects in Texas.
My spell checker has had "chitlin" in it for the longest time...

Willie T. Ribbs is currently a driver in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
Wendell Scott was inducted to the Motor Sports Hall of Fame in April 1999.
Bill Lester has driven in the Busch Series circuit as a road course driver.
Other black drivers who have competed in NASCAR include Bill "Bullet" Scott, Red Oliver, and Malcolm Durham.
Contrast this with another demographic, say, drivers from Wisconsin . . .

Funny thing: I saw several Blacks in my section at the 2001 Daytona 500. I also have seen Blacks at the Busch Series race that I regularly attend up in Nazareth, PA. So it's not just the marquis races...
IMHO, NASCAR is just trying to pre-empt a "shakedown" lawsuit -- Jesse Jackson-style.

I pull for the Honda's. Are there Honda's in NASCAR?
To: Mo1
If I recall .. Didn't that have a Japanese driver in last weeks race?? Yes, they did. They even had a Japanese broadcaster on hand and aired for several minutes in Japanese.
If Bill Lester can add to the sport and make it more enjoyable to watch then I wish him the best of luck.
