I laughed. :D

Oh, so thats why NASCAR has it's minority support program , it's chsing the almighty dollar !!!

I just noticed, US Army Promotion, on a Made in China F*** ing Chevy!

Just coinky- dinks ??

Michelle Obama gets frosty reception from NASCAR crowd as she's BOOED by fans

Then

Democrats canceled a political convention kick-off event at the Charlotte Motor Speedway .

and then

Army hits brakes on NASCAR recruiting campaign

That's all right, NASCAR will always support the US Army.

(NASCAR will still be around when Obama is long gone.)

Small minded actions from small minded people. Vote these bums out.

An ordained Bishop of the Church of Latter Day Saints, Willard Mitt Romney, has stated "I kind of like Nascar, some of my friends own Nascar teams.!" Yay,Mitt............he also avoided the VietNam Draft, and he counselled his 5 military age sons to "...avoid the military, that's not for you, the armed forces are for the working class kids......."

I can't believe those of you blaming this on the First Lady and the Democrats withdrawing from the Speedway! I'm a die-hard NASCAR fan, but I don't believe the government should be paying millions of dollars to sponsor ANY sport. Everyone wants to cut spending and this is a start - if Congress wants to cut food stamps, then also cut this sponsorship that doesn't even result in recruitment. I wonder how much we spend every weekend for fly-overs? The military can still maintain a presence at sporting advents with the color guard and advertisements.

Josh and the rest of you narrow minded haters - this has ZERO to do with O and Michelle. It has everything to do with threatened cutbacks in Pentagon waste, and NASCAR recruitment is a poster child for Pentagon waste. It was the Pentagon's decision to advertise in the first place, and you can bet if recruitment were higher via NASCAR this cutback would not have happened. Get used to cutbacks, and stop being so shortsighted about who makes PR decisions for the Pentagon.

Get with the program! America needs to cut spending and waste, Obama is doing that.

Anybody who supports a huge deficit and huge military for invasions of foreign countries just to capture their natural resources, like Bush II did in Iraq, instead of spending that money at home to better its citizens have their priorities just where defense lobbyist want them.

I'm not sure who the Army is looking for if they prefer the sports minded person that sits on a couch and watches TV.

Julian in Dallas...........maybe there would br more recruitment of the "kind" of people you deem "worthy" of serving in the Army if the ROTC wasn't getting kicked off of liberal college campuses. Be careful what you wish for.

Nascar fans dont stand and fight they all just want to drive away.

There will be a time that this war dependent nation will bring back the draft. Only the wealthy will be able to avoid the draft. Over 50% of all discretionary spending goes to the DoD---not counting the VA, FBI, NSA, etc. How much "defense" does a country need when we haven't had the mainland attacked by another "country" since the War of 1812. (Hawaii was a territory.)

Get those kids ready to be drafted. Mr Romney has promised to increase spending on the military and broaden the scope.

NASCAR isn't even stock car racing any more. All the cars are the same - just with different stickers. It would be more exciting if they were racing minivans.

Check out this ridiculous paraphrase!

"NASCAR appeals to middle aged, white redneck, REPUBLICAN VOTING, trailer park types. Same as Pro Wrestling. The US military is crawling with enough of these ignorant dinosaurs. We'll never recruit intelligent people to the US Army or anywhere else until we change the recruiting standards. As another poster mentioned, the GED allowance is ridiculous. Anyone who is not smart enough to make it through 4 years of highschool study, also isn't smart enough to serve their country. Plenty of dishwasher jobs out there for the GED crowd."

Jullian in Dallas ...

Those 'ignorant' soldiers would give their life up for someone like you.

You are a pathetic elitist not worth the boots they shine.

Sincerely,

Patriotic

Jullian in Dallas - those "ignorant" soldiers (of which I was one for 8 years) are doing something that you don't have the guts to do. You choose to live the life you are living and this is what they have chosen. And you should be glad - they are fighting to make sure you have the freedom to express your disgusting views.

I find this story amazing, disturbing, and very typical of our military wasting hard-earned taxpayer money having been a senior contracting officer for DoD, and having worked for the DoD unit ESGR that also had an illegal Race car to the tune fo $400,000 dollars! ESGR (known as the National Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reservices). I was brought into ESGR to clean up their mess, based on the outcome of a DOD Inspector General investigation in 2003-4 that had over 200 unauthorized commitments made by various ESGR personnel, and an illegal contract for advertising on a ESGR race car for $400K. Even though the contract was an improper one, issued by a Marine Corps Colonel that did not hold an authorized CO's warrant (which you must have), that one thing they did get right was the price of $400K with racing team Richard Childress. So my question to DOD's marketing manager, the flag officers that permitted a $8 million dollar yearly contract versus a $400K contract begs the question, "was somebody in DOD contracting getting a kickback, receiving some perks, or planning on a better future job somewhere else down the line after leaving DoD?"

The point is that if ESGR could advertise their huge logo on a Richard Childress race car for NASCAR at $400K yearly, what numbskull Contracting Officer authorized and award a contract for the same thing for $8 million yearly (20 times more than it should have been?"

As a taxpayer, former federal employee (now retired), former contracting officer, when I hear things like this is makes me sick that our DoD and Federal government literally piss our hard earned tax money down the drain on frivolous crap like race car and dragster advertising to attract little boys and girls to join the military. Oh, yeah, I was a military officer too, and I joined and served because I needed a job and it did not take some BS advertising by a bunch of numbskull flag officers, contracting folk in the military to make me want to join. With millions of people out of work, you do not have to advertise to get people to join. Lastly, if the CO and SES that approved that contract worked for me--I would fire their asses!

I'd rather our tax dollars be spent on advertising in the US, then being sent overseas in the form of "foreign aid".

I love getting a morning chuckle at some of the absolute idiocy that gets posted here. Everything's a conspiracy, eh? If you're gonna cover your entire head in tin foil, you really outta poke a couple of holes in there so you can breathe.

@Julian

Anyone who is not smart enough to make it through 4 years of highschool study, also isn't smart enough to serve their country. Plenty of dishwasher jobs out there for the GED crowd.

Wow... just wow. How 'bout you step off your high horse for a bit. Maybe if you did you'd realize not everyone with a GED is as stupid as you choose to believe. Some kids opt for a GED so they can join the work force sooner. You know the type, lowlifes who want to do things like help out their struggling family. Or, how about the kids who find high school too boring and a waste of time, they get out as early as possible so they can start college and actually learn something.

So then ... how do you attract people to join our all volunteer military? No advertising means no more Thunderbirds, Blue Angels, Golden Knights, no more Marine Drill Team, etc. All of those programs fall under advertising ... more aptly called recruiting. There are lots of these programs with less visibility. Ensuring that America's military is sustained by willing and able young men and women, with appropriate character and education is a very tough problem. How do you convince young people to enlist and understand the up-side benefits (there are many) of a military career without some advertising? Spending money on high visibility programs gets them to stop and listen and maybe learn more.

BG SMITH...

you don't know your ads from a hole in the ground...

stick to Lego's they are obviously a challenge for you .

is vavapill getting ever more irrelevant? Or is this merely a grotesque aberration?

cullerco

Our government shouldn't be allowed to spend our money on any sort of advertising.

Great idea. Then you'll join, right? No? Didn't think so.

On the other hand, you must support a return to the draft. Great! That would eliminate the need for all that expensive advertising and, best of all, get the other 98% of patriotic Americans between 18-35 to stand up and really 'support the troops'. Let them show just how much they love their country, right?

Ya, I didn't think so.

Our government shouldn't be allowed to spend our money on any sort of advertising.

No! Advertising, promotional items, funding for school programs, etc should continue uninterrupted.

The decision to leave NASCAR comes as Rep. Betty McCollum of Minnesota and Rep. Jackson Kingston of Georgia are pushing an amendment that would prohibit military sponsorship of sports.

Sponsorship of Sports? How about no sponsorships? Sponsorships are way too costly and the exposure they given as advertisement isn't a good return. How many prospects have sponsorships provided to recruiters? As a recruiter you need items/ways to get in front of your prospects. It's about numbers and cold calling off a ASVAB list is not the way. So yes to advertisements but no to sponsorships.

Our government(Obama) is spending millions on promoting Food Stamps, in Spanish also, so why is the government advertising a program that will cost 75 billion a year when we are suppose to be cutting back?

Obama, and liberals are full of s.it, vote this bum out in Nov. and save America from being the newest 3rd world country.

@BG SMITH, Now did that Article say one word about the groupes you mentioned? Appearently you don't realize the difference between paid advertisement and representation. The groupes you mention are allocated funds to go and represent their branch of service. These are Active Military Members who are the Best of the Best. They are on payroll and don't get paid extra to do what they do. You left out Military Bands, who are the finest it the world. As for all these groupes, their travel funds is also allocated military vehecles. Their appearences almost everywhere is by invitation. Even while on duty in the States they spend a lot of time away from their families.

What does driving a race car around in a big oval have to do with army skills? At least the golden knights and thunderbirds,blue angels show off the skills of our military. NASCAR doesn't .

So then ... how do you attract people to join our all volunteer military?

Take the money you pay for advertising and pay the them better for what they do.

What does driving a race car around in a big oval have to do with army skills? At least the golden knights and thunderbirds,blue angels show off the skills of our military. NASCAR doesn't .

If I see Tony Stewart at Eldora or Lima, I'll mention he should mount some guns on the hood and have Newman shoot the tires of the competition. Now that would be cool.

this is a bunch of garbage why cant the army wo has trillions of dollars afford to support the country they fight to protect's BIGGEST AND MOST LOVED SPORT! Seriously!!?!? Instead of supporting americans enjoying their self and getting enjoyment all they ever worry about is recruiting recruiting recruiting. Hurry up and grab kids straight out of high scool who have bright futures and there whole lives ahead of them to get them killed and sent home b4 they are 30 in stead of taking the 30yr old system abusing bums and putting them on the front lines. And Why do we have to bring obama into ABSOLUTLEY EVERYTHING????? if there was a kids teddy bear or bike was stolen it would be because of obama taxes or healthcare or stipid garbage that you have no control over anyway the president will do what he wants whether you like it or not so quit complaining and live life day by day while you have your life and family! LIFE ISNT THAT BAD!!!!

To those who love the all volunteer military and can't imagine it without stupid, expensive, and useless ads: join up, or get your kids to join up, or try to persuade a bunch of slacker teens in your town to join up. Put your time, energy, and money where your big mouths are. You'll find that legally once they have you there is no exit if they don't want to let you go. That three year hitch can be extended for 30 years if they want. Several federal judges have ruled that. Look it up if you don't believe me. Once you're in they have you for decades if they want. Me? I'm for bringing back the draft, since then we might not be so quick to put our troops in harm's way if millions of Americans decided their children's lives weren't worth making the oil companies even richer than they already are. BTW - Ads are worthless in selling a product. That's been true since the early 90s. All ads do is give the perception that the company paying for the ads is a player. Ads haven't gotten a decent return in almost 2 decades. Like it or not, that's marketing, folks.

Take the money you pay for advertising and pay the them better for what they do.

That sounds good in theory. The $80 million annually the article claims the military spends on sponsorships would amount to, if split up among the nearly 3 million active and reserve personnel, a pay raise of a little under $30 per year. That's an extra $2.50 per month. Hardly an effective recruiting tactic.

Military service is about a lot more than pay. The benefits follow you for your entire life, from education funding to civil hiring preferences and a hundred other things. That's not to mention the training and experience you receive while serving.

Our government shouldn't be allowed to spend our money on any sort of advertising.

Well I would bet that the idiot that made this statement or the darn politicians hardly or never went to or watched a NASCAR event. The stands are full with (as many of you would call them) "rednecks" and also many of them watch on TV. There are many of our southern boys that join the military as this is there way out of there towns. You would also be surprised how many city kids have started watching NASCAR through the years.

$ 8 million is a small amount when it comes to advertising a car even if for only part of the season, just think how much a primetime commercial costs or one during a large sporting event. Believe it or not NASCAR Cup racing is the largest spectator sport in the US.

"cullerco"

*Our government shouldn't be allowed to spend our money on any sort of advertising*

----------------------------------

So PLEASE explain how Millions of our tax dollars are being spent on Ads for the stupid LOSER postal Service and Ads Begging people to apply for Food stamps?

At least the Army sponsorship of Nascar provided some positive results!

Patrick Hanna

Thats more like 25 cents per month because the article say 8.4 million, not 80 million. Which really makes the paying the troops more theory even more absurd.

I enjoy NASCAR. I used to be hardcore about it but about three years after Dale Sr. died I started getting soured by some of the BS. DEI and the number 8 fiasco, more fines for drivers being drivers and doing what guys do when their fired up. LOWES (or MADE IN CHINA) all in your face. FASTENAL (or MADE IN CHINA) all in your face, HOME DEPOT (or MADE IN CHINA), GOD THIS, GOD THAT, GOD, GOD, AND MORE GOD. It is more and more about the dollar.

Support your local track if you have one. Get out there under the lights on a Saturday night and take the family. Racing at its best. Regular Joe's, Hank's, and Tammies out there doing it for the love of racing. Not because of corporate instituted morality.

P.S. 8.4 million per year...= 25 cents.....over 10 years in sponsorship 84 million.....

The question is should they elect to receive it lump sum or spread it out?

Our government shouldn't be allowed to spend our money on any sort of advertising

I would rather they spend our money on advertising than to send it overseas in the form of "foreign aid".

Patty....The Post Office ads support an effective, cheaper means to moving mail, packages, documents, etc. The repubs put a law in place to destroy the Post Office in order to privatize it. Privatizing will give more rich cats your money while raising rates and providing worse or even NO service to many areas across the United states. People all across the nation rely on the Postal service for their pension and Social Security checks. Repubs and sniveling people only care about themselves and not the big picture.

Many people are starving because of lost jobs and or low paying jobs because of the republicans crashing the economy. Many people do not know they may qualify for food stamps. The advertising alerts friends and relatives of this available source so that children and families do not starve.

As much as I like seeing Danica Patrick in any way or form, I would rather see a child having food on the table and being able to go to school, come home and have some kind of a meal that will keep the children and family healthy so they can recover from their situation.

The money spent on Army Nascar is betting off spent on the vets or families of vets.

Sorry, Afghanistan is all Obama's, he supported that one from the start.

So no one will join unless they have an ad on the side of a race car? Get real. Retirement and health care after twenty year. They will get all they need. As we (hopefully) won't be3 invading any more countries, the need is down.

80 million WTF? This is total BS!

Valhalla Phil is all talk and no action, all opinion and no facts, and has an extremely short memory. He believes all history was good before O, and all history is bad since then. BTW Phil - the reason O hasn't quit Afghanistan is because the US strategists in the Pentagon and NSC decided they didn't want to withdraw and leave the rare earth metals in Afghan for China to exploit. I'm sure if O decided to leave and China declared its intention to mine those rare earth metals you'd be one of the first to condemn O for compromising our international security. Sometimes you can be a real putz.

Valhalla Phil

Sorry, Afghanistan is all Obama's, he supported that one from the start.

Really? Let's see. September 2001 ring any bells? Hmm. October 2001 we deploy to Afghanistan and President......Bush is in office. Bush continues Afghanistan through his entire term (8 years) up until.....Obama is elected November 2008 and is inaugurated January 2009. Yep all Obama.

And visions of sugar plumbs danced in their heads....

Phil...............The reason why we are still in Afghanistan is because Bush transferred main fighting resources to Iraq when he lied the nation into the false Iraq war. He said he wasn't worried about Bin Laden and just focused on getting war profits for Haliburton and he wanted to be known as a war president. Well he is known as a liar and murderer of innocent troops who gave their lives and limbs thinking they were protecting our country. This major lie and blunder left Afghanistan in a quandary. As usual a Democrat has to come in and change the diaper and clean up the mess. Next time repubs start a war, put in a pooper scooper law so you clean up your own mess.

Hadn't you heard. They are starting to be not allowed to put that table in high schools so there goes that theory.

Blame the trial lawyers on that one.

Kid's today aren't interested in sports, per se.

Sports involves training and discipline. Mastering a skill set, and then competing against your peers. Sportsmanship. Teamwork. Character. Stuff like that.

Today's kids see an illiterate multi-millionaire felon paid to throw a ball around because he grew to a height of seven feet, and the kid decides that even though he's 5'6", that if he plays enough video games, buys a gold chain, wears $250 tennis shoes, and smokes enough pot, that he'll be able to do that some day.

@Vern, You left out whinning and crying that they only want to pay me $4 mill year to play, I can't live on that. Yeh I have no respect for pro athaletes.

So Vern is a racist, White old redneck who laments everday he sees a Black professional Basketball player being praised by America's youth, of all races? Nevermind that professional sports requires all of the qualities Vern mentioned like mastering a skill, and teamwork. Without that, none of the NBA teams would ever win championships. TRUE professional sports requires athleticism and physical prowess. NASCAR is not a sport anymore than fishing is, because it doesn't require teamwork, and certainly not athleticism. Shifting gears and steering a car is something ANYONE can learn to do. Not so with pro basketball. You either have the ability or you don't. A Chimpanzee could be trained to drive in the NASCAR circuit, with the right vehicle modifications. Try getting a Chimp to do a freethrow though.

What kind of dumbass enjoys watching cars drive around in circles anyway Vern?

@ Julian in Dallas

You are woefully biased (racist?) in your little rant... and that's all it is, a little rant from an equally little mind. Most race car drivers are in better shape, train harder and are more intelligent than probably 95% of the NBA roster, who would probably wreck their Bentleys cruising back to the hood rather than attempt to train with someone like Mark Martin. I think Vern had a very spot-on comment and it had more to do with the values and ethics of kids these days rather than the racial slurring that you seem to have somehow read into it.

Tell an engine shop and the body and chassis shop that what they do doesn't require teamwork. Tell a pit crew that what they do doesn't require physical prowess. Tell a driver that he's just riding around for a couple of hours enjoying a nice Sunday cruise. You obviously don't know the first thing about any kind of racing, so why not STFU?

As far as your trained monkey analogy goes I think it's far easier to train a monkey to throw a ball through a hoop for a reward. I've been watching it for years ~ it's called the NBA.

BRAVO "Aztoad"

You are sooooooo right!

Those Drivers are not only in Excellent physical condition.......the NASCAR families are totally family oriented, give MAJOR money to charities, and believe in God!

They are the most Patriotic of all Sports!!!

".... would probably wreck their Bentleys cruising back to the hood..." and "....train a monkey to throw a ball through a hoop for a reward. I've been watching it for years ~ it's called the NBA."

Those comments are about as racist as it gets

What a load of crapola! The Army at the direction of the bozo in chief ordered the cutback. All because some Patriotic American BOOED the wide beamed 1st lady.

Figure it out.

He is the most vindictive hateful person ever to enter politics. And he is also the most successful scammer ever.

Think about it. No experience, no history, no girlfriends, just Larry Sinclair?

Josh - Great hate filled rant. Are you inferring you'd be happier if O had a girlfriend while married with children? For the record, in the past 100 years 6 Republicans and 4 Democrats had girlfriends while in the WH, while (as far as we know historically) 4 Dems and 4 Repubs didn't. And to be clear, O had nothing to do with this cutback. It is entirely the Pentagon's call, and you do know they're facing massive cutbacks in their wasteful, bloated budget, don't you? Why not begin with useless ads?

Your nephew is a stinking liar.

Active military eat very well.

Besides, the ABCDE scale refers to cattle maturity, not quality.

I don't know about your nephews food, but mine came in a cardboard box and a can. It wasn't bad cold as long as you could get the tuna or chicken.

Your nephew is a tool of the state and a fool. Tell him to get out of the military and into college ASAP, for a brighter HEALTHIER future.

Actually, it's been reported in the foreign press (not ours, natch!) that Halliburton (and their subcontractors) have in fact been dishing substandard food to our troops for years. But I'm sure you patriots can't possibly believe that Big Hal would put profits before the nutrition and well being of our troops.

@ Julian in Dallas... you are clearly a bigoted, short sighted, imbecile. First of all, with the Military drawing down, the Standards for joining are going back up. They were lowered for the Surge in Iraq to meet the numbers and to increase the time between rotations for service members.

Now, that the draw down is happening all the felons and dirt bags alike are being asked to leave. Then they will go after the fat people because they will actually enforce the standards.

Third, saying in your earlier post that the Military is crawling with ignorant red Neck Dinosaurs is idiotic. First, the majority of recruits come from Urban areas, second, I've had Squad Leaders with multiple Masters Degrees, one with a PHD in Computer Engineering, and every commissioned officer HAS to have a Bachelors Degree and most Field Grades have a Masters degree or more.

I am not a fan of NASCAR or the NBA, but I'd bet that NASCAR has fewer Drivers with serious Character or Moral issues than the NBA.

And you have followed all of the applications that I see get filled at the track each and every race?

They get a lot of applications, but those who fill them out don't follow through there is no return for the cost.

colorme, you lost me with the firing squad. How about you don't serve you don't get to vote.

Or how about if you dont want to serve then you are required to leave this country and all of your money and find somewhere else to live or how about we keep it as simple as you dont want to serve then you get to go to jail and your "1%" earning parents can pay for your three hots and a cot until you achieve a college degree then you can be released from jail to continue on with your life.

6 months mandatory 17-19 upon leaving high school. (no benefits after leaving) Anyone signing for 2 or more years leaves the military with GI benefits (to be determined) Every graduate or 17-19 should be exposed to real disipline to be ready for the reality of the work force. This is "in states" boot camp. Certainly "Couldn't" Hurt!!!! No need to advertise... Choices made by individuals to join not have to listen to those who condem OUR military!!!

Now this is FUNNY... LMAO... Would love to se this happen, but alas, it will never come to light...

Mitt hid out in France to avoid the war...Ok...another bad war like Iraq....never should have happened. Amnesty for people who dodged the draft...Fine...but when Mittster was in front of vets and talked about Viet Nam, he pandered in the worse way saying" I wish I could have been a part of it." Christ! He could have signed up anytime, he could have not put in for deferment. Ol Mittster playing both sides again, flip flop.

Now his dad, George went over to see what the troops were really going through. He saw first hand the lies of the military generals about the war. George came home, said the truth, the generals are lying, and George helped to end the war.

The Mittster isn't half the man his dad was.

Give the NASCAR ARMY money to the vets for limbs and med services.

First of all, I tried to get in the military after high school but they couldn't take me as I had flat feet and they did not allow arch supports.

Second of all regarding benefits, my father went in after high school and served his term. Because he did not serve during wartime (was between Korean and Vietnam wars) he is not eligible for any VA benefits, not even the home loans. If the changed that requirement it was not retroactive. He voluteered Navy and is a proud supporter of the Navy and the other branches.

I do like the mandatory requirements of the Swiss military though.

I'll bet you've never served before. Have you Fed up Boomer?

As a former Marine I think all American boys and girls should be required by law to enlist immediately after graduating highschool, NO GEDs, and at least do basic training to teach them discipline and teamwork. After the initial service enlistment requirement is met, the choice should be given to go active duty for a mximum of 8 years, or reserve for a maximum of 12, and agree to be recalled to service if ever necessary.

Nothing pisses me off more than people who support wars and are eager to start them and send other peoples' children to die, but lack the spine to risk their own lives or their children's lives in them. Also the chickenhawk MEN who go around driving humvees with "Support Our Troops" decals, who have never had the balls to enlist or some handy little excuse why they didn't.

Ever notice how sports figures act like little children in a sandbox when things go badly...what great role models they are for americas youth. How do you expect rightwing NASCAR fans to show any respect for decent people? These are fools who will be pulling ballot levers for a man who believes in magic-underwear and saw a woman who went to a witchdoctor to have demons removed, as worthy to be elected VP. Yeah...i`d be real offended at being booed by people that haven`t the intellectual depth commensurate with a plate of urine.

Sparky-2737266 ... Sad but true! Very accurate comments.

Nothing more than the rednecks are still pissed that slaves were freed and now they see that they themselves, are not half as smart or good looking as the president and his wife are. ....Envy.....uh...BIG time envy .....of the president by.... small..... men.

Thr Blue Angels are Navy. The Air Force has the Thunderbirds.

Little,,I'm going to have to stand in your court,,I think you hit the perverbial nail on the head.I've been reading all of these comments,and I was going to try and say something that would fit in,,and I just couldn't.To be perfectly honest,at this stage of my life,I just don't give a $hit.I did my time in the military,I spent my high school trip in Nam,I guess what I'm saying is,I'm at a point,that if I wake up and see the sun blinding me,,it's a good day,,as the say,,"Any day above ground is a good day",,,The way I see it,the government is going to spend our tax dollars,however they see fit,and if anyone is under the impression that they can change that,they're living in a dream world.

Obama didn't have anything to do with it. REad the article

Don't you think military spending is better spent on what soldiers need, not labels on a car?
