My NASCAR Pet Peeve - Week #4
Tonight’s race, the Pepsi 400, from Daytona had a special guest. Vice President Dick Cheney was there to observe the race and speak to the crowd.
All of the drivers were on the stage with the Vice President while the National Anthem was performed. Again, the FOX cameras did not show many drivers, but I must say I was quite disappointed again.
Sterling Marlin was covering his heart, while J.J. Yeley, Elliott Sadler, and Michael Waltrip were not.
Here are the totals of my “survey” after week #4:
