Seems that the racing budget is deemed an "uneccessary expenditure"

Youth Motocross racing just took a hit as well. You can by bikes under 125cc in the states anymore as of recently.  You can't buy parts for the ones you have anymore either.  50's, 60's, 80's and 110's are being pulled off the showroom floors as we speak.  All this because of a 600ppm lead ban or something.  Anything for kids containing more then 600ppm can not be sold in the states anymore.  They're trying to get it down to 100ppm now, I was told.  Crazy Crazy

P.S. that link didn't work..

Damn it!  I hate NASCAR so it doesn't matter to me.  But I think it was a good idea.  AIG was a major sponsor of Manchester United in England and they said that they would drop the sponsorship due to their financial troubles.  I gotta call Barack about this one!  :-)

I think Barack musta had a werd or two with them about this year's prank, for them to submit a retraction and apology this quickly.

It was pretty quick. Earlier I tried the link in your original post and received the "404 Not Found" on their page.

How is NASCAR gonna pay the poverty pimp Jackson his quiet money?

Why would you hate something you simply dont care to watch? Thought you were more tolerant than that.
Directed to my friend Bryon. Never can get these posts to land where I want them to.
