3. I'm not a stealth Freeper!
I can't help it that I was raised by NASCAR fans!

Did you REALLY alert me for this?

5. Actually, I nearly swerved off the road; I saw a vehicle with
two, yes, two Kerry stickers and a couple of stickers denoting someone's favorite Nascar race car drivers' cars. This is in Richmond no less. A rare bird perhaps, not a freak of nature.

7. But Dale Earnhardt Jr. suggested that everyone should see
Farenheit 9/11!!!!!!

Tony Stewart has issues that go beyond needing anger management classes (which he was required to take 2 seasons ago)

12. OK, well, I'm sure there were some drivers who didn't
Should we go into who every football and baseball player voted for too?

6. No, but you might be my brother or sister-in-law. I love them both
They live in Georgia, and they're yellow-dog Dems.

I'll bet my brother's friends tell him to disown his liberal California sister. And I'll bet he tells them to fuck off.

16. Yeah, it just goes to show that labels can be wrong, and hurtful.
I hate it when people think they have you pigeonholed based on a label.

When I see something like "NASCAR Democrat" or "California liberal," that tells me that the person using them doesn't want to think, or have their judgments challenged. You're in your little labeled box, and they're done thinking about you.

15. Not at all.
A very good friend of mine is an uncontrollable NASCAR friek and a hard-core Democrat to boot. This NASCAR=repug bullshit is just more Rovian spin. Remember much of the South, the hotbed of racing is purple.

17. Yes, it is freakish to be a Democrat and a RACIST nowadays.
The Dixiecrats are slowly, literally dying. The reason why NASCAR is popular is because all the drivers are white, and all the fans are RACIST.

NOTE: This post is sarcastic.

22. Absolutely not. Mr. Wonderful loves
NASCAR and he's a dyed in the wool Democrat.

In fact, today we were talking about the Daytona 500. When is it scheduled for Feb. 20th?

29. No, but both cars in my household are very fuel efficient
I get nearly 40 mpg, and my husband gets more than that.

24. No. But tell me, what's the deal with NASCAR?
Is it the racing itself? The crashes? The hard work and dedication?

27. I was addicted at an early age
Edited on Sat Feb-05-05 10:42 PM by Not_Giving_Up
It's a lot of things (for me anyway)...The rivalries between the drivers, the limits that are pushed. I realize some people watch just for the crashes, and others don't understand watching 500 miles in a circle...But there's a lot more to it than that....and they do run two road courses. :)

32. My DH is one. He has a shrine to Dale Earnhardt!
Yes he is a freak of nature and proud of it.

34. I have a ton of Big E stuff
As well as other drivers. Some of it I wish I didn't have. People don't seem to realize that you can't be a Rusty fan and a jeff Gordon fan at the same time. My favorite driver retires this year :cry: but it's time, and he knows it.

Your Dh is not a freak, he's an exception to the rule, just like me!
