It wasn't family oriented when we were there.<br /><br />After the last few years of the semi porn Go Daddy type commercials,& raunchy TV show previews, why would any one believe that NA$CAR is still family oriented?<br /><br />This guy will probably be on his best behavior, won't be on that long & at least if interviewed will know about NASCAR.He talks NASCAR alot according to my hubby & his buds. Which is more than can be said of the "celebrity" that was hauled in to be Grand Marshall in the past.<br /><br /> He will be GM say 4 words and go. Fox won't be airing his show -so just surf to Jayski, figure out when the green flag drops exactly & tune in then - simple & you don't have to see or hear him. Honest it works. I used to do it with the National anthem singers last season. It will work.<br /><br />By now we know NA$CAR & track owners don't care what fans want or think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-88966426803490471592009-04-18T13:18:00.000-04:002009-04-18T13:18:00.000-04:00Let me ask a question to these commentators who sa...Let me ask a question to these commentators who say Bubba degrades women:<br /><br />If I announce that I am having a contest in which women can enter, and to win they must complete a task that is extremely degrading and humiliating... and then on the day of the contest, 10 women show up to compete.<br /><br />The question is: am I the one degrading women or are the women degrading themselves by knowing ahead of time 100% what they are getting into and the VOLUNTEERING to go through with it?<br /><br />Sorry, but I don't think Bubba exploits or degrades women.

Those people have never listened. <br /><br />The truth is that women come on that show and degrade themselves. He doesn't force them to do anything - he simply comments on the absurdity of what they themselves will do to simply get on the radio. <br /><br />Regardless, the man is waving a flag, not broadcasting from the infield. And I think there is nothing more Un-American than someone trying to deny someone else simply because they disagree with them. In America, the motto is "though I disagree with what you say, I will fight to the death for your right to say it."

No one is asking you to listen to Bubba's radio show. All he will do is say 3 words on air. Besides, Bubba has a very sanitized show on fm radio 5 days a week. On Friday after the clean show he has an uncensored show on Sirius. No one spends more time talking about racing than Bubba and his show. As for dropping your opinion of Tony Stewart for being a friend of Bubba. well, thats rediculous. Remember Bubba does a radio show and millions of people pay money to hear the dirty anticks. So step back, realize it's 3 words, and enjoy the race.beerman75noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-25632904272681276812009-04-17T22:09:00.000-04:002009-04-17T22:09:00.000-04:00Matt you're exactly right!
