Scientology revs up to join NASCAR circuit

[Elidor]

You can't make this shit up:

Don’t be surprised if Tom Cruise becomes a NASCAR fan. Scientology is getting into the wildly popular race sport.

“Dianetics,” the book written by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, is sponsoring a racing team — dubbed “Ignite Your Potential” — that will tour the NASCAR circuit. A Dianetics Racing Web site is being set up for fans.

Driver Kenton Gray credits Hubbard’s work with making him a good driver. “It’s markedly improved my focus and my consistency,” he said in an announcement from Hubbard’s publisher. “Through ‘Dianetics’ I’ve handled stress and increased my performance and ability to compete—both on the track and in life.”

7. Try to sell anything other than Protestant Christianity to NASCAR fans?

Go on. Try it.

You're not going to impress them with talk of how one can be both a Scientologist and a Christian. Give up on this demographic.

start hopping on the roof of the car?

9. How big is the LateModel Circuit?

Looks to me like this is just a local circuit in LA.
Sponsoring a car at this level costs far less than on any of the major national circuits. Has no significant TV coverage and runs in front of perhaps 15000 fans.

10. Like any other religion...

...Scientology is a business.

Strictly my personal opinion.

11. Mabye Scientology will help Nascar fans grow some teeth

If it can make you fly and give you perfect eyesight, why not some new chicklets for the toothless hillbillies.
