[oberliner]

For some reason.

1. Race Baiter

yup

[guillaumeb]

2. A largely white audience.

Forget about the dead children, and Russia, and all of the other issues.

[oberliner]

4. Not to mention the race is taking place a few hours drive from where the school shooting happened

Priorities?

[guillaumeb]

8. Distraction, deversion, denial and deceit.

Trump has priorities, but the general welfare of the US is not among those priorities.

[tblue37]

3. Just name-dropping. nt

[Ferrets are Cool]

5. The good ole boys network got invaded today by

Darrell Wallace Jr. If there was a god, I would pray to her that he would win the race.

[FarCenter]

21. Driving 43 for Richard Petty Motorsports

[yallerdawg]

6. He's just sittin' there precedentin' in front of the TV today.

He must be seething that they won't let him go golfing yet.

Maybe not until they finish burying the children?

[oberliner]

11. He represents something very ugly in America

That won't be going away even after his presidency is over.

[yallerdawg]

13. The R's I heard today make me want to weep.

Our only hope is to stay united and outnumber them.

[Thrill]

7. Of course hes always willing to call Billionaires and Donors great people

Also another guy who treated his former wife like shit

[Leghorn21]

9. Dale Earnhardt Jr., September of last year:

14. Junior and some others on the track are good people.

Yeah, they are mostly red, but quite a few have had enough with Righty politicians and narcissists like DOTUS.

Too bad Jr is retired. I hope he stays involved.

[Leghorn21]

18. I agree, Ilsa! - I been around some racer peeps, back in the day, and I was so thrilled last year

when Jr posted this!!

I just checked to see what he’s up to, and he does commentary for NBC Sports, BUT, today’s Daytona 500 is being broadcast on Fox, so we won’t get to see him...

Well, let dumbass tweet his thumbs off as he continues his slide into neverland, cheeze

[Ilsa]

23. He just told them to "Start your engines!"

Glad he is there.

[gibraltar72]

19. Jr. is genuinely a good guy.

Many are not. I am pulling for Bubba Wallace today. Nascars race for diversity was a sham. But I believe Bubba is the real deal. I'll be ok if Ryan Newman never wins another race. He supported Trump early on as did the frances. Not real fond of the Puke from Liberty University. For some reason the broadcasters can't throw that tidbit in enough. Like no one else ever went to college.

[Leghorn21]

22. Thanks, 72!! I havent kept up with racing in decades, but today I shall take you at your

good word and root for Mr. Wallace to raise hell on that track here in a little bit!!

32. Petty is RW Repub ran for Sec of State in NC

Petty lost to Elaine Marshall.

[gibraltar72]

35. Petty is not driving.

Think he was county commissioner or something. The asshole whose car won Childress is a real deal bad guy.. I'm glad Bubba came in 2nd at least. He was a race for diversity driver who got shuttled out. Even lost his Infinity ride. He can wheel.

[unc70]

39. I replied to a post with a picture of Petty

I know full well RP was not driving. He is 80.

[Ilsa]

25. Good goddess, what about all of the mechanical engineers

out there and in the research facilities?

[Leghorn21]

33. I am HAVING A COW WATCHING BUBBA and trying to read DU and OMG! Thanks again for

giving me someone to seriously root for!!

[gibraltar72]

36. Our boy done good

racing and I go back a long ways. I'm glad to see Bubba get a chance. He was shuttled out of the race for diversity program. I think in decent equipment he'll do ok.

[Leghorn21]

37. AHHHHH!! I just cant thank you enough, 72! It was so great to have this young man

to root for!! - his first Daytona 500, SECOND PLACE?!

I will be following his races like a crazy person now!

Much appreciated!!

[JohnnyLib2]

10. Get that guy back on the golf course!

We need a rest from the inanity.

[gibraltar72]

30. In the end no matter how bad the optics would have been

the handlers will be sorry they didn't let him golf.

[nmgaucho]

12. That's his base. He has to throw them bones constantly

[kentuck]

17. Right !

He's trying to pull all of "his people" together, in order to protect him.

[oasis]

26. They're flying California flag upside down. Fuck them!

[Yonnie3]

15. Trying to pander to his base.

Dropping names, the usual.

At NASCAR there are winners unlike you. I guess trying to associate yourself with winners is the best you can do, SAD.

I've got a bunch of what-abouts for you Blotus45.

Child massacres?
Russia sanctions?
Healthcare?
Immigration?
Real tax cut for the middle class?

There are none about NASCAR.

[hlthe2b]

16. Good gawd... Won't someone act?

[Ohiogal]

20. Just when you think

he can't get any more embarrassing and shameful.

He always manages to outdo himself.

I can just picture him today, probably squatting on the sofa in front of his big screen TV stuffing his face and watching the little cars go round and round..... you know, doing all that important President stuff .........

[spanone]

24. Sounds like he's hard at work on the Immigration Bill

[bitterross]

27. It's his base.

PBR drinking, rednecks that watch cars going in circles hoping for a crash.

28. NASCAR CEO Brian France's behavior at awards ceremony creates buzz on social media

Fans were buzzing on social media Friday about what they called awkward and rude behavior by NASCAR chairman and CEO Brian France at Thursday night's Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Awards ceremony in Las Vegas.

In a moment shared via GIF by many fans and reporters on Twitter, France abruptly handed Martin Truex Jr. his NASCAR Cup championship ring before walking off without a handshake.

Link to tweet

Remember when I said yesterday that NASCAR executives fail at being authentic?

Well, here’s Brian France proving my point last night at the Cup Awards banquet. What the hell.

France also drew criticism for his extremely brief introduction of Dale Earnhardt Jr. for recieving the Bill France Award of Excellence, an award named in honor of

France's father, the longtime chairman and CEO of NASCAR. Many felt Earnhardt deserved more of a thank you and goodbye after finishing his career as a full-time driver this season.

[JDC]

29. Has he said anything about a single US Olympic athlete?

He fucked up in the head.

[Elwood P Dowd]

31. Brian France is 'special' in that he is hated by most NASCAR fans.

He is no Bill France or Bill France Sr. He is a spoiled brat like Trump who inherited NASCAR when mommy and daddy passed away. He also was drunk and made a fool of himself at last year's Las Vegas awards ceremony.

[Mc Mike]

34. Look, he's gotta prioritize. There's only so many issues he can discuss in a day.

He has to focus on the most important ones.

[Wounded Bear]

38. NASCAR is as dead as coal...
