sherrod, as a life long nascar fan what do you make of this?ow i am down with it. >> i know. >> what do you want them to do? use cheaper gas to go slower? i thought the whole thing was to use advanced fuel and we can use different octanes in our regular life. so no, it is dumb. i think nascar is doing the right thing. >> so how is it dumb? >> because people get angry because they are not -- >> oh people getting angry. >> why would you try to use a cheaper one when you are trying to advance it? >> i guess i am just waiting for a joke. >> because nascar is close to may heart. >> you don't joke about something. greg, it is easy to laugh at this. even if the cars themselves are not green what is wrong with nascar doing other things? >> it is symbolic bs. it is the equivalent of a dentist going to a strip club and justifying -- giving the money to helping a girl through school. it means absolutely nothing. >> how does that mean nothing? it means everything. >> by the way, let's attack that word sustainable. sustainable is the biggest nonsense cal ph

nascar wants to play nice with the epa.car fans aren't really interested in seeing a car on biofuel or electric car. god forbid you don't hear the engine. you have want to hear the roar of the engine. if you put biofuel in gas engine, ethanol or the other biofuels number one performance will go down. race would be slower. more importantly you will ruin multimillion dollar engines. there is so much water. so they said we'll plant ten trees. they're smart. they are doing their part. don't mess with the cars. >> kimberly: i like trees. >> greg: bob loves nascar. >> bob: i like to go to races. but i wish i had chewing gum concession and the bufont hairdo concession. after that, it's fine. i enjoy it. have you ever sat -- >> kimberly: like our hair. >> bob: really, not like that exactly. >> greg: you chew gum with meeting of executive and stash gum under the desk. >> kimberly: did you put it under the table. dana saw that. you and i missed it. >> bob: you know the 24 hours of lamans? what you ought to have is have all electric c

as the drivers on the nascar -- i happen to be a big nascar fan. i confess that right up front. the drivers on the nascar circuit say you make your own luck. you make your own luck. in other words, we're hard to put yourself in a position to win. you may not win, if you're not close to the front with two laps to go, you're probably not going to finish first. so get yourself positioned. thomas jefferson actually said it this way, he said, i'm a great believer in luck and i find the harder i work the more of it i have. well, i've won my share of legal and political arguments because i was better prepared than my opponent and you can too. this leads to my second point. most of you have a minor in bible studies so you know that an important principal in scripture is that humility comes before honor. our religious and moral sense make us aware that as human beings we have limitations. flesh and blood can never attain perfection. raul matthew, whoever exalts himself will be humbled. whoever humbles himself will be exalted. thus humility is in order. and it helps us learn important les

so which candidate wins the checkered flag among nascar voters?discussion stimulated, mary katherine by an article in "politico". it never occurred to me that nascar has a huge constituency and candidates might want to try to get their message out but can they do it effectively? >> there are huge events. there are a bunch of people in one place. obviously, white, middle class, rural, and ex-urban voters they tend to be are very important or barack obama or hillary wouldn't have staged a such a nasty fight over them in places like pennsylvania in the primary fate. they matter in swing states like pennsylvania, virginia, north carolina, newly becoming purple. both mitt romney and obama face cultural challenges reaching folks like this. they always have. the why it is interesting in the "politico" article there were conservative surrogates, different more grass root conservative as opposed to mitt romney doing vet voter registration. that might be more effective way rather than mitt romney acting like he is a huge nascar fan. jon: one, i can't see th

a proposal is moving through congress that could send nascar stars dale earnhardt, jr. and ryan newman scrambling for new sponsorships. they are sponsored by branches of the u.s. military using tax dollars to recruit new members. but a house committee has approved a ban on military sponsorships as part of the defense budget. rick horrow tonight on spending taxpayer's military money on race car advertisements. >> $80 million of defense money is earmarked this year for sports sponsorships. most of that goes toward auto racing. armed forces branches are combining to spend $26.5 million on nascar sponsorships alone. over the last five years, the national guard has spent $136 million to sponsor driver dale earnhardt, jr. on the surface, the move to end military sports sponsorships is reminiscent of a similar attempt to curb bank sports sponsorships during the tarp bailouts. the difference, however, is that while banks have proven the value of hospitality and marketing at sporting events, the military hasn't. according to one of the congressman supporting the ban, of the 25,0
