There's a haint in the foothills of NC; the haint of the #3 chevy. The rich have formed a holy alliance to exorcise it but they'll never fucking catch him.


Ironically the area of Tennessee I live in was pro Union and tried to succeed from the CSA. For the reason there wasn't any plantations here so no one gave a gently caress about owning slaves.

Needless to say I've never seen so many flagged out bro trucks in my life.

He doesn't need to be in the chase to win a race :eng101:

If he keeps getting those 25th places then he'll be the one looking outside. He is 30 pts ahead of Bowyer who is looking out if Kyle Busch gets in the top 30 which is probably the thing they need to look at. So it's not a slam dunk with how he's running.

A neighbor's son, who's about 19 or so, drives a raised pickup truck and for a long while had a Confederate flag front plate and a "HERITAGE NOT HATE" sunshade thing.

We live in a Philly suburb and I know for a fact he was born and raised here. This is very much not the south. I've lived in the south.

Luckily he wised up and about a month or two ago I noticed he removed all of it, well before all this recent news.

Also I feel if you have to have a disclaimer for your flag, something's not right.

Some people I know in Western Colorado have Confederate flags. Do tell me of your racism in a predominantly white area that is mostly suburbs to a smallish city.


e: So you remember a few years ago Fox gave us lovely country music for their theme song. Rejoice because NBC is going to do the same thing with their theme. Shithouse Blake Shelton song.

Back to flag talk (because gently caress gordon) I have never met a southerner with a confederate flag. My family is from rural alabama and call people the n word when they get cut off in traffic and even they know better.

edit: I see more confederate flags in union state Indiana than I ever saw in Georgia/NC/Alabama.

Saw this on Jayski today. I didn't realize NASCAR ratings were in this much of a free fall.

quote:

NASCAR Sprint Cup racing from Sonoma, CA, earned a 2.4 overnight rating [3,723 million viewers] on FoxSports1 Sunday afternoon, down 8% from last year (2.6) and down 20% from 2013 (3.0), both on TNT. The 8% decline is the smallest of the season for a Sprint Cup race on the network, with each of the other five down by at least 18%

Speaking of progressive things, I'm very curious to see how Daytona's 'Trade in your Stars 'n Bars' program is going to work.

The ongoing conservative freakout of the past two weeks is a thousand times more entertaining than NASCAR. It also says a lot that loving NASCAR is embracing some progressive ideas, while these miserable fucks just wallow in their own ignorance and hatred of anyone who is the 'other'.

That was one of their original campaigns & I was still seeing those ads a couple weeks ago.

On second viewing of the new intro, I'm groaning at the Hardee's product placement. It's kind of like what GMC has during the Sunday Night Football intro- forced and out of place, but they paid lots of money to get their logo on camera.
