NASCAR must not be proud using the NRA sponsorship at Texas. Hardly heard a peep about the National Rifle Association during the broadcast. Typical Nascar crap, avoiding controversy.

Now, since a man committed suicide with a gun during the Texas race in the infield. The Media is now calling the Texas race.....The NRA 500.

There are different levels of NASCAR race sponsorship starting with just buying the naming rights (as it appears the NRA did) to all the way up to getting airtime for advertisements and the sponsors name mentioned during the broadcast.

That's their problem right there........To many levels of BS and the product on the track isn't what it use to be.
