    If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention!

            Waiting for a response from Lucas about 2021 subscription. Not expecting one though. There backs are probably up against the wall now for making such a rash decision in such short amount of time.

              The flag controversy at Cherokee is a prime example of a false story getting passed around while the real explanation is ignored. The Confederate flag was removed several weeks ago not on the demand of lucas oil. When Cherokee had the pay per view super race last month the flag was blocking the camera view. So cherokee took down and promoter Scott Childress said the flag was several years old and faded and torn. So he decided to replace it with a new one but he was busy and it was on the list of things to do but he didn't get around to doing it. Its funny how people make up stories instead of asking questions and finding out the real reason.

                So why did cameras go different when there was one in victory lane last night.

                  Dont know what happened at smoky mountain. But I know lucas oil didnt request Cherokee remove the flag because there wasn't one to remove

                      First off the horse is out of the barn. Thousands of people rioting or protesting in the street. So I do not want to here anything more about fans being forbidden from attending races. Enough of the nonsense. Florence ought be about to do what ever they want.

                        This is what I believe. But Tony Stewart is a ban supporter at Eldora.

                            That works both ways though.

                              Exactly the reason people should rely on more than one party lines talking head to form their final opinion.......do their own research, multiple sources,give it some serious thought,be open minded,form opinion.......ah the good old days.
                              Where is the move over flag when you need it?????

                                Whats real scary is it could be some 15 year old kid on the other side of the keyboard that doesn't know his head from a hole in the ground and people will react to it or push the info as fact without ever giving it a second thought
