If I were one of the five "I believe it is four now, Kurt Busch is attending", my response to the media asking would be ............"I am sure the President has more important things to do than "honor" a bunch of redneck race car drivers from a year ago!" Could it possibly be politics on the Presidents part?

When did the president call these guys rednecks?

He is trying for the NASCAR vote! That is all it is pandering at its shadiest!

Not surprising. That's like dwarf tossing champions or monster truck drivers declining an invitation.

NASCAR said Thursday that five drivers – Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch, Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick and Tony Stewart – will not be attending the White House visit due to "schedule conflicts."

They must be very busy people!
Good for them for standing on principle and refusing to be used as a propaganda tool by the President.

I guess this is kinda like asking if Eminem is the only White Rapper.

People of all colors listen to the music, but its mostly a Black dominated genre in general.

Jaun Pablo Montoya is Columbian, Randy Moss has a truck team and several African Americans have raced in NASCAR events. So no.

Typical, liberals racing to lay down the race card...pun intended

The race card is a good substitute tool for intellectually challenged Liberals. This isn't a race issue, these guys simply don't care for Obama's attempt to use them to gain NASCAR votes. Why else has Obama only now tried to honor a NASCAR driver? Anyhow, although I'm not a big NASCAR fan, I applaud these drivers!
