    You know after scanning the channels this weekend and briefly landing on the Indy race, me thinks NASCAR really has more pressing issue with fan attendance/diminishing revenue than pictures from sources still willing to pay to advertise.

    I have never understood the allure of NASCAR and couldn't really care less about what they do, but this seems like they are turning on a majority of their own fan base.


    That being said, I think all these companies banning open carry and having issue with simple pictures of firearms will have a long term affect on people's opinion of guns. When you can't see them or talk about them and gun owners are driven to fringe social media sites where they can talk about them freely out of sight, the only voice regarding firearms for the rest of the country will be the main stream media.

    Truth. IMHO this has been part of the anti's agenda for years. Paint the picture that gun owners are crazy, paranoid, limp d!€£'s with a need to compenate or backwoods rednecks and are the "biggest threat to society ". Get the picture painted and make it an obscure dark culture and well you know the rest

    well NASCAR was invented forthe people that didn't understand professional wresteling

    Well you can have that opinion of course but shows how little you actually knew about the sport. Not current state of the series but in its heyday.

    Call-em as you see-um of course.

    The great days were race on Sunday and sell on Monday. You could actually buy and drive a Plymouth Super Bird like Richard's. It was like a block long and very thirsty, but you could drive it on the highway. Boss 429 Mustang, a great car that you had to almost pull the engine to change the plugs, but again you could drive one off the dealer's lot.

    They are succeeding quite well at removing firearms from day to day visibility for non-shooting folks. We need to make sure that guns stay mainstream some how.

    I succumbed to this. 1985 Monti Carlo. Black as midnight. The new to NASCAR bumper cams sold more of these due to the Intimidator than people actually know.

    You had a lot of company in those days, stock car racing has drifted away from it's roots.
