The owners are all Mitt Romney's friends. They trade tax tips when they meet at their private ATM in the Caymans.

NASCAR, as we have learned from the last few presidential elections, is the real American sport. It combines a star system worthy of the Hollywood studio system and TV wrestling; homophobia to equal pro football, and an audience of Tea Partiers who brook no compromise over the evils of government grants getting people hooked like smack on entitlements.

So if  you thought the free-market worshipping NASCAR hierarchy would be stalwart against any supping at the public trough...well, you'd be wrong.
