landlord Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I would'nt be surprised if this administration went after racing in general.If GM is in that bad of shape they don't need to be racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thumper Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 NASCAR will be down to just Fords and Toyotas unless they allow other brands like Mercedes,Audi Nissan etc but that would be unfair to domestics. I would love to race Obama,any class.Demo derby sounds good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racer61 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 A little over a year ago GM cut back on its spending( a little late) and thus RCR lost the goodwrench sponsorship. It has also been backing out of title sponsorships of races, and not in just Nascar. Also mostly shutting down factory backing of the GM truck series teams. I wonder if the future will see the demise of the chevrolet "crate motor" program too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAPA Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Looks like we could see a "FIAT" in NASCAR soon if they buy most of Chrysler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modracer Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 It could be an April Fools joke, however, last night I was listening to Sirius and they made mentioned of making GM and Chrysler pull out of Nascar as part of the conditions of the loan package. I don't believe that Buddy Baker would say something like that if it wasn't true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe that Buddy Baker would say something like that if it wasn't true. Next year we'll be wondering if Dale Jr. driving the #88 Amp Energy Honda Accord can beat Jeff Gordon driving the #24 Dupont Hyundai Elantra. Our new Socialist Government is rapidly controlling our lives. As they take over more and more corporations, I think they will be deciding the sponsorships need to go by the wayside. Remember, the liberals are the ones that think that racing is a waste of resources and all those nasty cars are making the ice caps melt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickHolt Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Well... if this were a "political forum" instead of a racing forum, this thread would be headed in the right direction, but it's not. So... even though what's happening in the political arena impacts our racing world, let's try to keep as much of the political rhetoric out of the discussions as we can. Thanks.

But the leftist press has people believing "Bush and The Bush Doctrines" are responsible for everything..... You ever think to look at the congress????? They are the cause of 90 % of our problems and get a free ride from responsibility by the press..hmmm, so did Obama in the election... stepping off soap box....

Definitive Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.....started by the Dems Mark to Market...started by the Dems....after the ENRON debacle First bailout by Bush...started by the Dems...look it up...Gietner was at the helm helping Polson draw that up...our lame duck Pres. just pushed it through as the normal smooth transition from one administration to the next GM's numbers...show that if they only sold trucks,suv's,medium to large cars....the company would be extremely profitable...their downfall....started by the Dems,and their extreme demands on what or what isn't produced Now the Obama administration is looking at firing the CEO of our largest bank....Bank of America NASCAR took bailout(pork) money twice now....they are under the control of our overbearing government now....good luck to them Those other companies will not step up to the plate and fill Chrysler or GM's shoes....they will want nothing to do with our government....
