    I don't know where some people get their facts, other than shear political bias and media driven hatred.
    Clearly the price of gas was NOT 3.45 when Trump was elected. But it about or above that for four years under Obummer. Some people need to get their facts straight before shooting their mouth.
    Don't confuse liberals with FACTS!

      Gas prices are most influenced by state gas taxes. The president has nothing to do with that.

        It’s not just a gas issue. The price of everything has shot up in the last three or four years. If you’re going to give the president credit for every positive thing that happens in this country, who gets the blame for all the negatives? As I’ve said many times, I hate all politicians. They’re all garbage. But the fact is, we were living a lot more comfortably before it became so much more expensive to buy everyday items. I can say that completely without any bias at all.

          Terry, I've been payin anywhere from 1.09 - 1.59 for milk I'd say for the last few years. You need to switch supermarkets.

            They're all about the same here. I can occasionally find it somewhere for $2.75 or so, but most places have hovered around $3.75 for the past couple years. Where in the world are you getting a gallon of milk for $1.09?? I haven't seen prices like that -- anywhere I lived -- for probably 30 years.

              Leadership vacuum, punting it to the governors, blah blah blah. You want to know how to absolutely fail absolutely? try and do everything yourself which if the President were foolish enough to try to do he certainly would. Which in an election year would be the best possible outcome for the Democrats, even with a senile Joe Biden as the nominee. Everybody has worked for a micro manager before, not great. Even the Governors, dictatorial 1930s style oppression seems to be the order of the day but there's a smarter way to do it. Be a scalpel not a broadsword. You guys are the ones slowing this crap down. Not the politicians, not any of them. by the way.

                Anyone want to take a stab when the next national touring race will be? I’d say you’ll start seeing some local stuff here and there in a few states soon.

                  Pennsboro32, I'm going to say late July to early August. Just my own speculation, but with the Indy 500 moved to mid-August... I think that was done intentionally.

                    The Gov. of Alabama will decide our fate about racing in May on April 28. I am hoping for the best.

                    Thank you Terry M for your viewpoint. I may or may not agree with your reasons that our president is to blame for what you stated but in my view you did it with class.

                    You can be a guest of mine with the works at Talladega Short Track anytime..if we get to race.

                    Saw gas for $1.27 today,sheez. When I first started driving it was .37 a gallon.

                          You can thank the idiot in the White House who didn’t have the balls to be the leader he should’ve been. He’s a coward.

                          Please don't insult the fine folks from Georgia with your yankee rhetoric!

                            I roll around Georgia a little bit.......1.60 gas in ga.3 1/2 years ago is far fetched.
