NASCAR; I Don’t Get It.

I do not have anything against the sport of auto racing. I just will never understand why we (the military, and now the Veteran’s Administration) pump so much money into NASCAR. Someone have real statistics on the return on investment?
The newest NASCAR sponsor: the GI Bill
By Rick Maze – Staff writerIn an effort to bring more attention to veterans education benefits, the GI Bill will sponsor a car in a Sept. 11 NASCAR race in Richmond, Va., and is also one of the sponsors of the race itself.
The Air National Guard is the chief sponsor of that Sprint Cup Series 400 race, which will be called the Air Guard 400.
The idea, according to Veterans Affairs Department officials, is to get the GI Bill plastered on a racecar and frequently mentioned by broadcasters to spread the word about the availability of the Post-9/11 GI Bill.

BBQ Pork Butt
