Trump won't be driving Indy 500 pace car

[Contrary1]

I suspect the real reason is that after multiple failed attempts, no super glue was found to be strong enough to hold that dead animal on top of his head in such high winds.


"INDIANAPOLIS -- Outspoken billionaire businessman Donald Trump has withdrawn as the pace car driver for the 2011 Indianapolis 500 amid growing controversy.

In a statement released by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Thursday, Trump cited his presidential bid and increasingly busy schedule for the decision to pull out.

“I very much appreciate the honor, but time and business constraints make my appearance there, especially with the necessary practice sessions, impossible to fulfill,” Trump said. “I look forward to watching the race from New York.”


Some fans claimed "the Donald' would tarnish this year's historic centennial celebration with controversial comments he made about President Barack Obama and demands he release his long-form birth certificate.

A Facebook page calling for the IMS to bump Trump has collected more than 17,000 "likes" since last week..."

1. Trump is laying low hoping this whole "Osama is dead" thing

blows over.

[sharp_stick]

2. You know the Donald

has to be hurting. Obama destroyed this moron at the WHCD and then the next day or so interrupts his idiotic TV show to tell the world that acting on his orders a group of Navy Seals clipped the most wanted scumbag on the planet.

The Schadenfreude is amazing, I'm loving every second of Trumps spectacular fall from the RW pedestal.

3. So Nascar fans are not completely ignorant

5. The Indy 500 isn't a NASCAR event.

7. Ok well racing is not a sport I follow soooooo

[malaise]

4. He's history as well

Into the dustbin for this racist asshole

[JanetLovesObama]

6. Amen.

[blondeatlast]

8. What? Isn't he the boss? why can't he reschedule a meeting? Sounds ineffective to me.

:rofl:

9. We did it! The Donald will NOT drive the Indy Pace Car!

Just last week, a facebook page "We Don't Want Donald Trump to Drive the Indy 500 Pace Car" was formed. It quickly grew to over 17,500 members. Great news today - Trump is bumped!

11. Stutter remark- I hate to change subject but, I just saw on CNN crawl something about Trump making

some type of remark about stutters. I've looked and can't find anything about it. What happened???

[hwmnbn]

15. The day after Obama and Seth Myers...

destroyed him at the the WHCD, Trump went on Fox and Friends and dissed Seth Myers calling him a stutterer. Really pathetic!

[EC]

12. Well, it looks like

Trump can be shamed. He's acting like he's embarrassed. Let's see how long he stays away from reporters.

Doesn't he have a pacemaker already?

14. “I look forward to watching the race from New York.”

Yeah, I'm sure that Indy racing makes him giddy.
