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!
O' Please Nascar?
Turn Left for 3 hours .... Nascar?


Not a fan of Mr. Obama, but talk about a waste of time.

Events like this should be put on hold until the economy is fixed. It's just a waste of time.
But Whatever...

Isn't it ok to turn down an invitation from a POTUS who has an agenda not in line with the politics of these Nascar drivers?

NASCAR is actually pursuing activities that employ large numbers of people, paid by sports investors. The O'Bama is pursuing activities to transfer funds from taxpayers to his personal investors.

So apparently, you cannot decline an invitation to the White House because you are immediately defined as a racist. I thought we lived in a Democracy and that everybody was free to express their political ideas in whichever way they wanted. After all, they just declined the invitation people.......This is border line fanatism by those that feel they should have accepted the invitation, kinda the one that emerged in Venezuela when Chavez took over office.

They wouldn't show up anyhow....they're accustomed to 400 acre estates, wine collections worth more than you'll ever see in a lifetime, private jets, exotic car collections, etc.

Guess its ok to sterotype long as its not someone or something from the left.

Just sayin

Not toothless, Never done meth, not a redneck,but if you wish to call me one there is much worse I could be called, not an alcholic, not a barfly either. So much for your sterotype

Nice way to throw out stereotypes. I bet you'd be livid if some black sterotypes were thrown around.
