There is nothing I want to be. There is nothing I want to do.
I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.

Not defending the FIA however - they raced in Apartheid South Africa until 1985(!) and historically turned a blind eye to repression.

Hilariously the only boycott was Haas driver Alan Jones chucking a sicky on race day.

didn’t the French teams pull out because the Mitterrand government heavily backed Ligier/Renault, and were officially involved in BDS?

(Also the only reason Jones called in sick was because Beatrice Foods, who sponsored his team, preferred not to race as the alternative would have been the Rev. Jesse Jackson backing a company-wide strike)

 Speaking of Trump and Idiots:

quote:

“I understand that kind of criticism, but there is no other sports league that gets any criticism like that,” said France, of the time he spent at the track. “I’ve always found that a bit interesting that no one else asks another commissioner how many football games or practices he made.”

While many in the sport felt France seemed removed from the responsibilities of leadership, France believed that based on the goals he set for the company and his focus on the commercial side, his physical presence at the track was not required on a weekly basis. He took exception to criticism that his absence at the track meant NASCAR wasn’t communicating enough with the industry, noting that NASCAR formed unprecedented councils for tracks, drivers, teams and car manufacturers on his watch.

quote:

France proudly uses his background at NASCAR to frame the ethos of Silver Falcon. On the company’s new website, it touts: “We know what it’s like to be an underdog! Against big odds, we took a small, regional sport and grew NASCAR into a multi-billion-dollar global sports entertainment property.”

France has set up a new LinkedIn account, where he’s listed as a “business executive with more than 20 years of experience in the sports industry,” who “implemented new marketing, safety and environmental initiatives that helped establish NASCAR as one of the most successful organizations in sports and entertainment.”

Drone cam is great for road courses and rovals. I would honestly love to see it at places like Sebring or Road America, especially to show the different class battles and speed differences.

 A non-race fan asked for betting tips. I said maybe Denny, all of the Joe Gibbs cars would run up front, except Erik Jones would gently caress it up. Come home to see halfway and I nailed it.

In the sense of keeping his ride, never since he's the owner's grandson. Austin probably knows he won't get 7 championships, but he can toot his horn already having a 500 win a few years back.
