Another Politically-inspired Race?

I am so sick of hearing how they're giving back to the fans of late. Tell that to the fans that sat in the rain waiting for the restart only to be gypped out of approximately 100 more miles of Daytona. I'll wager Ford Motor Company's CEO called up Mike Helton and said something akin to, "Hey look, we just got some bailout money;  how 'bout we send some of that your way to let Ford win Daytona, so we can sell some more cars."

With 50 laps to go there was no excuse for NASCAR pulling the plug on yesterday's race. Their lame excuse was that it could take hours to dry the track. Yeah? So what? I've sat in the rain alongside thousands of other fans for hours at Atlanta, Talladega, Darlington, Bristol, and Charlotte only to find out we had to come back the next day. Whatever happened to that option, Mr. Helton?

And who do you think you're kidding, by the way, when you say you sold out at Daytona? That was crap if I have saw or smelled it. There were dozens of seats available in the backstretch. So you sold out the frontstretch. Well, that ain't selling out Daytona. That's called giving out corporate seating. Give me a break.

Maybe if you had more races than political gnashings, you'd have some damn fans.
