Bob Rosadini Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Well Nascar management. must be thrilled- a double win- Chevy AND Junior.. what could be better. As for their newest "hero" Austin Dillon- hmnn- seems to me everytime there was a major incident, he was in on the start of it. Fox commentators didn't notice I guess. Perhaps they all were just..."one of them racin deals". HOWEVER-I would bet if it was a new Roush driver who was in on that action, they would have been all over it like a wet blanket. Benghazi all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Benghazi all over again. That was a stupid and totally uncalled for statement. People died in Benghazi. This is a stupid auto race. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well ................if I offended YOU or anyone else, I apologize for my perceived insensitivity-in particular as the Benghazi travesty really pisses me off-see my comment in "off topic discussion". By the way, how have you voiced your opinion on the Benghazi issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All-Or-Nothing Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 They still have Nascar? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, how have you voiced your opinion on the Benghazi issue? I said it was stupid, not that I was offended. It's like a Broncos fan saying the Superbowl was like "9/11 all over again". And voicing your opinion on a political issue in the off topic section is no more effective than hitting yourself in the head with a cast iron frying pan - the difference is the pan hurts less. It's nothing more than a cesspool playpen for two idiots who never have anything even remotely automotive related to discuss. I don't understand why they're still posting here. You can't carry on a normal off topic discussion without those 2 turning it into a personal political battle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to beat a dead horse, but unlike..."Superbowl was like 9/11 all over again, my reference to Benghazi was to imply that the situation at Daytona was the same- "nothing happened- no need to discuss, report etc. As for that "off topic section", too bad you can't make a point. But I hear you-I believe I posted very real observations-IMO--did I get a point by point response??-no. Not worthy of a response to him.

akirby Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 There is no point to make. The facts about Benghazi (or the lack thereof) are not really disputable. Liberals think what the administration did was justifiable and any misinformation was just an oversight. Conservatives think there was a deliberate coverup and that the lack of action was borderline criminal. Nothing that gets posted is going to change the other side's position on this or any other issue that gets debated over there. It's a complete waste of time and bandwidth to even try. Sometimes I get caught up on a topic and forget this until I come to my senses and go back to ignoring it. I make my points with the only thing that counts - my vote.

RangerM Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Sooooooo. NASCAR huh? More like Car of Tomorrow-CAR. If "Chevy" won Daytona, then so did the "National Guard", and the number "88". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 More like Car of Tomorrow-CAR. If "Chevy" won Daytona, then so did the "National Guard", and the number "88". And Ford since they use Ford rear ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grbeck Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) It's more like, "A standard NASCAR vehicle won the race. This one happens to have a bowtie decal on the front." Edited February 26, 2014 by grbeck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Rosadini Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Yes- WE all know what Nascar is. Change the purpose built V-8 from brand "F" to brand "C" or "T", new set of decals, new emblems on the uniforms and presto, its a "C" or "T" fact remains, Ford spends a lot of money on it and a lot of people follow it. I would have to say the Ford marketing people still view it as an essential expenditure (of my shareholder money). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I don't think Ford spends that much on NASCAR any more and rumor is the only reason they're still there is to support long time partners like Roush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
