NBC aired a 90-second Trump ad during NASCAR on Sunday in response to complaints about Kamala Harris’ last-minute appearance on Saturday Night Live, which appeared to violate the FCC’s Equal Time Rule. Kamala Harris made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live, sparking claims it violated “Equal Time” rules that dictate a licensed broadcaster using public airwaves must give equal air time to a qualified candidate ahead of an election. “This is a clear and blatant effort to evade the FCC’s Equal Time rule.

Do you live in a swing state? If so, the Voter Participation Center, a "non-partisan" charity, is spending big on Facebook ads to ensure you have the information you need to cast a ballot in the upcoming election. That is unless you like NASCAR, golf, Jeeps, or other interests and hobbies typically associated with Republican men. In that case, the Voter Participation Center does not want to share information that might help you make it to the polls in November. The Voter Participation Center is a self-described "non-partisan" charity that claims to have helped more than six million people register...

NORTH WILKESBORO, N.C. (WGHP) — A possible moonshine cave has been discovered under the stands at the North Wilkesboro Speedway, according to a statement released by the NWS on Tuesday. During cleaning and inspection last week, staff noticed cracks in concrete in section N. Crews began removing seats to evaluate damage and repair needs. “When we began renovating and restoring North Wilkesboro Speedway in 2022, we’d often hear stories of how an old moonshine still was operated here on the property under the grandstands,” said Steve Swift, senior vice president of operations and development at Speedway Motorsports. “Well, we haven’t...

As if NASCAR didn't already have major issues, this article comes out that NASCAR and the France Family are at an impasse with the Owners and Drivers of the Sport to the point the owners have hired a top Anti-Trust Lawyer to advise them. Since Dale Earnhardt Sr. died, my interest in NASCAR has steadily faded, however, I will be watching later today as the weather has cleared and the race should start on time. You had to think sooner or later that the iron fist rule of the France Family over NASCAR would be challenged, and it appears that...

NASCAR offers a paid “diversity internship” that excludes white people from applying on the basis of their race, a stipulation a constitutional lawyer tells The Daily Wire is “blatantly illegal.” The race car giant’s “diversity internship program” states that there are racial requirements that applicants must meet in order to be accepted. The first bullet point listed under the heading “Program Requirements” reads “Be a member of one or more of the following races/ethnic minority classifications: Black or African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Latino or Hispanic, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander.” David Bernstein, a professor at...

It seems like just yesterday that the country was shaken to its core after Bubba Wallace discovered a rope attached to his NASCAR garage door and declared it to be a racist noose and the FBI immediately came out to investigate. Where were you when you learned of it? You'll never forget. The United States lost its innocence that day. And now, on this day — this fateful day — we have lost our innocence once again: OVER THE WEEKEND, the team radio channel for, Bubba Wallace, the only Black driver in NASCAR's top racing series, was apparently hijacked by...

Just after Wallace took the checkered flag and finished as runner-up to Kyle Larson in the $1 million-to-the-winner event at North Wilkesboro (N.C.) Speedway, someone keyed into his No. 23 23XI Racing team radio channel with a derogatory message. “Go back to where you came from you a******. You’re not wanted in NASCAR,” the person said. A spokesperson for 23XI Racing told Motorsport.com that Wallace, the only full-time Black driver in NASCAR’s premier series, did not hear the comments or acknowledge them at the time. NASCAR officials confirmed their security operation is investigating the incident in an attempt to determine...

NASCAR star Bubba Wallace is no stranger to controversy. It’s perhaps that penchant for drama that has turned the 29-year-old Wallace into something of a pro-wrestling villain in the world of NASCAR. Wherever he goes, he’s often greeted with a chorus of boos from fans of the sport. That bubbling ugliness came to a head in North Carolina over the weekend when some of NASCAR’s biggest stars gathered at North Wilkesboro Speedway for the NASCAR Cup Series All-Star Race on Sunday. Before that main event, however, there was the Tyson 250, a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race on Saturday....
