I know what you mean. But you'd be very unfair to NASCAR, its people and its fans, to judge the sport based on this.
Do I like it? No. But I'm not going to allow Dobson to ruin my enjoyment of the sport. He's disgusting: a liar and fear monger for profit and power. But he has as much right to sponsor car as anyone who can afford to do it. It's a free country. He is as protected by our constitution as we all are. And if we are going to argue for our rights, which I do, then we cannot infringe on his.
Though Dobson is a viper, I actually take comfort in a national day of prayer. Now, I would prefer to call it something else--because, while some of us may not pray like most, we still take time to reflect, give gratitude, and ask blessings for those we love. We meditate, ruminate, marinate. And a day where everyone slows down, carves out a quite space, and THINKS about where things stand, is a good thing. I just don't see that anyone is really paying attention. We are all tuned out. A national day of tuning in and reflecting? That's a good thing.
Syd, guess who had the pole until Nemecheck took it?
Yep, our man in orange, Tony Stewart. Damn. In all this time I've been studying the sport, Stewart has never taken the pole. And he still hasn't. Damn.
Starting first on Sunday at Talladega will be the #78 National Day of Prayer car sponsored by gay-basher James Dobson.

Another reason why I could never watch that stuff.

"Take the pole." That's so gay!
Perhaps they will blow an engine on the first few laps.
Almost race time...wooo hoooo.
I'm hollering for Jr. and Smoke today. I'd like to see #20 finish first.
Not that I'm likely to become a NASCAR fan anyway, but it would be nice if the car threw a rod (heh) or something ... LOL.
