Jeff and JJ are in the millions donated.... and still you trash them... amazing....

    An instance or two is one thing, but making it a way of life is a whole other circumstance.

    What is it that I need to put up? LOL!!

    I really don't believe that distinguishing between someone who is respectful, humble and dignified from those who talk and act as if they were never taught any respect, manners and dignity is being judgmental. These drivers put themselves out there in the public eye and they choose what persona they wish to project. It's been proven many times that it's not necessary to be an a$$hole to get a point across.

    I remember talking to Jeff Gordon on numerous occasions at places like Springfield, IL, Du Quoin, IL and Macon, IL at USAC Silver Crown and midget races back when he was a USAC star in the days before he started driving the taxi cabs. He wasn't the most personable driver we've ever spoken to but he was never openly rude or impolite. I can't say that about some other guys who came up through the USAC ranks. One guy in particular was not just a bit rude but proved to be a complete a$$hole on more than one occasion. I've never spent any time around Jimmie mainly because he didn't come up through the Midwestern USAC ranks and I had already stopped attending gimmick races when he was getting started, but by all accounts he's a genuinely good person and that means something to some of us. pee wee and his nutcase brother seem to revel in being a$$holes, so what does that tell ya'? Not much, other than they seem to enjoy being disrespectful a$$holes. And no, they don't give a fat rats ass what I think. Not now, not ever.

    As far as the donations and foundations go, the money given is tax deductible, so there may be just a bit more than the charitable motive at play in regards to the money given away. These guys do the big donations for personal PR (like that's going to help pee wee, LOL!!) and it may save them a considerable amount in taxes. The smart ones have highly competent people figuring the tax implications of every move they make. Not disparaging them for taking advantage of the tax implications but it's true, nonetheless.

    Witnessing the crash that took the life of a genuinely decent person (something that obviously has no significance to you) as well as one of the best dirt track racers of all time at Belleville Saturday night has left me devoid of the fortitude, inclination and heart to call you out for your single minded nonsense yet again.

    For the time being we'll just chalk it up to your obvious stupidity and therefor you lack any credibility to be taken the least bit serious.

    As near as anyone can tell you'd have to elevate yourself several notches on the intellectual totem pole to even possess the qualifications of a fool. Thus rendering your evaluation of what is or isn't good racing moot and irrelevant.

    And, if you're going to attempt to pay respects to someone then make a fukking appoint to at least spell their name correctly, okay numb skull?!!

    My, my muddy. Such anger and vitriol. Didn't mean to make ya' mad, all I was doing was merely pointing out the harsh reality of the situation.

    We won't hold your spelling inadequacy against you since you apologized for misspelling BC's name and corrected yourself.

    What we can't overlook is your complete misinterpretation of the word "appoint". In the context with which the word was used it is completely appropriate and meaningful in accordance with the Miriam-Webster online dictionary definition.



    appoint

    verb ap·point \ə-ˈpȯint\

    Simple Definition of appoint
    : to choose (someone) to have a particular job : to give (someone) a position or duty
    : to decide or establish (something) in an official way

    You obviously don't know any more about grammar and word usage than you do about what is, and what isn't good racing, and that ain't much.

    Now, go pack fudge you half wit! LOLOL!!
