It's good to shine the light on idiots, like this one, just so you know what's being said by people on the fringe. This is one case, that even though many of us poke fun at NASCAR, that the big corporate racing conglomerate is all racing fans' friend. Even though some lunatics may be spewing this stuff in some circles, finding a large enough group of legislators to make laws to ban racing, would be impossible. The NASCAR fan base represents a huge voting block. There's not enough sum total Political Courage in all of Washington D.C. to chance alienating that big of a voting block. Not even close. And as far as state laws go, this is Indiana. The loss of tax revenue from the abscence of the Indy 500 and Brickyard 400, alone, would cripple the state.
