Looks like Washington (State Of) thinks Nascar is just a bunch of rednecks and they are about to reject a Nascar track:

Chopp was dismissive when asked about Petty, a hugely popular figure known as “the King” in the world of racing.

“You mean the guy who got picked up for DUI?” the House speaker asked. Chopp quickly added that he’d only heard about a drunken driving incident and wasn’t sure if it were true.

Still, the speaker made it clear he wasn’t impressed.

“He’s not a member of the House, last time I checked,” Chopp said.

Chopp has said repeatedly that no House Democrats have pushed him to support the NASCAR track. He says he doesn't hear from anyone about it. At a press availability earlier this month, when asked about NASCAR — as the Longview Daily News reported —

he pulled out a Wall Street Journal article sent to him by a legislator describing the rowdy crowds at the Talledega Speedway in Alabama.
The article reported that "hard-drinking" fans "whoop it up for days."

"These people are not the kind of people you would want living next door to you," Seaquist said. "They'd be the ones with the junky cars in the front yard and would try to slip around the law."

Hey, that's cool. I'll bet there are other places like Rockingham that would love the date.

I bet Greg Biffle and Kasey Kahne are a little abashed at being from Washington.

Talk about politician opening mouth and inserting foot.

Just in case one of us "toothless, beer drinking, rednecks" would like to send a letter to that fine gentleman.

Screw them then....they can go hug a tree, save an owl, or whatever those idiots do up there. But don't spill the latte...

Yeah, I agree. It is way too far for me to travel anyhow to see a race. :)

What a bunch of jerks, uneducated, obviously, at that.
 
I've never understood why they've wanted to try to do a race up there. It would rain out every time.

Sad that they are so closed-minded that they can't see that NASCAR is actually polishing their sport solely to appeal to the Yankees & west coast while leaving their core fan base in the dust.

That's right, that's just like you, blame everyone because one person said certain things. For your info not everyone is an "idiot" around these parts, so before you start on your rants, please take a second to think before you start name calling...pleaseeee?
 
Reck he was talking about Washington or are you really from there and not NY?

Besides, if the speaker can categorizes all southern races fans as beer drinking rowdies, I guess we can categorize people from his state in the manner we want. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

BTW, I did drop the idiot an email, being polite and thanking him for preventing his state from gaining a date on the NASCAR circuit and allowing the people of his state from collecting all that revenue.

Yep, thanks. Let's give that money to people who aren't idiots.

Oh i am from NYC but i have friends and family over there, so i am speaking for them.
 
I have a brother in Portland and I know he's an idiot! :) So I can speak for those northwesterners as well. :beerbang:
 
I have a cousin in Veronia, Oregon so I will speak for her.
She don't like racing so we will drop the Northwest and stay in the south.

I like that idea. I have many cousins in Washington state, so I will speak for them as well. None of them are race fans so they too say keep the racing in the south.
 
"ONE" politician does not determine if nascar gets the track. Seems like there must be more people against it than are for it.

Bring back Rockingham!!!!!!

Notice, if you can figure out what the word scroll means, when you scroll down some, you see this...
1. the male person or animal being discussed or last mentioned; that male.

I don't think anywhere in my post did I say everyone in Washington was responsibile for this. Much less, do I think this was a rant. So get your panties out of a wad and calm down. If not, you'll have a very bad diaper rash and I would hate for that to happen to you.


In other words, shut your damn pie hole. You don't know a damn thing about me. Before you start accusing me of things, you better get your story straight.
 
Damnnnnnn you really went out of your way to post that, dont sweat it though.

You said "They" as inplying all that live in Washington. You just said that because the individual talk negative about people in the southern area.

No need to covered it up pal. Oh by the way, this conversation is done, i'd say more then done. Good Day to you.
