Haven't been a NASCAR fan in many years, but to be fair they couldn't take weed money. First weed is still federally(nationally) illegal and still not socially accepted in many circles, medical or not. Second as far as tobacco goes, at one time more than 50% of the population smoked, dipped or chewed and was socially accepted as cool and was associated with status. Time marched on and the attitude toward tobacco and knowledge of its effects changed its social standing. Although tobacco has never been illegal only recently socially frowned on. Third, alocohol hasn't been illegal since the depression and if used responsibly and in moderation does have positive health attributes in regards to cholesterol levels and is mostly socially accepted.

Having said all that NASCAR is a self serving political suck up. They've routinely shot down team sponsors they wanted for themselves. They suck up to whatever social or political issue will serve them best. Like the drive for diversity program(aka affirmative action) or switching to alcohol so Obama would play nice. The latest France regime is by far the worst, weed or no weed.
