NASCAR suffered a rare loss in Congress Thursday ? and worst
yet, it
came at the hands of a Republican from Georgia.

Rep. Jack Kingston tipped the scales in the House Appropriations
Committee, putting some Southern moxie behind what had been a
losing
cause until now: Rep. Betty McCollum?s campaign to end the
Pentagon?s
practice of spending tens of millions every year on costly motor
sport
and fishing sponsorships to promote recruitment.

NASCAR commands the lion?s share of these expenditures,
estimated at
about $80 million in 2012 altogether. And new estimates from the
National Guard show that more than $135 million has been spent
over the
past five years just for the Guard?s sponsorship and branding
efforts
through Hendricks Motorsports in North Carolina and the racing
team of
star driver Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Hundreds of millions of tax dollars blown on car racing...

Could be worse... such as kiddie mini-bike 'racing'. ;-)

Awe..... how cute, emulating your lover.......

That's the guy that thinks drinking beer with your kid is quality
time... LOL!

You're the guy who thinks puttering around with motorbikes is a job.

LOL

I guess you two lovers are too stupid to know that top sponsored
motorcycle teams are multi million dollar entities, right?

Yeah, and Jessi just got picked up by a team this week. She has not
raced with them yet, but the two other riders on the team took first and
first in two divisions at the Loretta Lynn Qualifiers last weekend in
NH. We were there as guests to meet the other families on the team...
Could get interesting this fall... Watch out Florida!!


Yeah, right...as if you had a chance of being a "multi-million-dollar
entity" through motorbike racing.
