#NASCAR … Congress removes amendment in Appropriations Act banning sports military sponsorship. That leaves vote on amendment intro today.

If recorded vote goes vs. amendment 2night, there won't be anything in DoD Approriations Act limiting military sports sponsorship.

vote on amendment is tonight (not likely to pass), The National Guard Association issues (cont) http://tl.gd/id34qo

Next race I'll be in the stands. We leave next Tues in the am with the new rv with two stops, one in Al. and one in Ky and be at the brickyard thursday about 2 or 3 pm. Monday after the race we will wander aimlessly southeast for a few days and then back home. I dont do the phone stuff so you will be on your on with the wildlife while I'm gone.

We havent been to the brickyard before so I picked lot 3 pavement with power and seats up in the box 18 penthouse which means it has chairback seats under the overhang out of the sun in the middle of turn 1. Should be able to see the front stretch and past turn 2 for a ways. Will take pictures and bug the hell out of you with them when I get back. :D
 
Sounds like a fun trip. Can't wait to see and hear how it went when you get back from the Brickyard.

I just read on a couple of other forums that the amendment was defeated by 14 votes.

You're welcome. I did appreciate Dustin following this so closely. The turds said they will try again next year. I hope they never get the chance and are forced to work on some real issues, like open borders, tax refunds to illegals, medical care to illegals, etc.

#NASCAR … if you missed it, total was 81 Republicans for amendment and 121 Democrats. Against it was 156 Rebpublicans & 60 Democrats.

It's over for this year.

I heard some crap coming out of a politicians mouth a few weeks ago. She was saying the National guard was spending 20 mill to sponsor Jr and that money only garnered 24 thousand contacts and not a single enlistment.

BS! My nephew enlisted at Michigan a few years ago because the recruiters were there and he just re-enlisted this year.
 
Saw this @ Jayski.....

Four NASCAR drivers in top 50 sports money earners: For the first time since SI.com began publishing the Fortunate 50 in 2004, Tiger Woods is not No. 1. He's not even No. 2. That honor goes once again to Phil Mickelson. The new No. 1 (for now) is Floyd Mayweather, who was unranked a year ago but scored two huge pay-per-view paydays to earn $85 million without a single endorsement. [SI's] findings consisted solely of salary, winnings, bonuses, endorsements and appearance fees. NASCAR has 4 drivers on the list. #88-Dale Earnhardt, Jr., with a total of $28,164,690 in salary/winnings and endorsements, ranks 8th, #24-Jeff Gordon is 18th, #14-Tony Stewart is 29th, and #48-Jimmie Johnson is 33rd.

It would be interesting to see Jr's income broken down by winnings, endorsements, merchandise sales and the likes. I would have to guess merchandise sales is his big money maker.
 
$4,164,690 Salary and winnings
$24,000,000 Endorsements
I'm not sure which one includes merch, but it's probably endorsements or is considered a side business and not included in his sport salary.

Where did you get that cooler MM?

I have my source. At one time,I had 10 of 'em. I take them and customize them and then give them to my friends...You should see the look on their faces when they say''I Love that cooler'", and I say "Really, well here you go, it's yours"
The race tracks are the best though.. People take pics, point, give me thumbs up, and offer to buy them. I brought 2 identical ones a few years ago to Dover, and a guy offered me $100.00. SOLD, on the spot. Later, I was sporting the other one, and someone said that was the second one they had seen.. I just smiled and kept walking......
