Voices From the Heartland: NASCAR Now Accidentally Tells The Truth
As usual when there is not that much going on in the sport of NASCAR, Brian France has once again come to my rescue.

I received a letter that had to do with NASCAR’s Fan Council and, if true it merely confirmed what I had written back in September of last year.
OK, here’s the deal. You want me to write about how good the state of NASCAR is in?
Last Friday, U.S. District Court Judge John Antoon II finally stopped the madness. He threw out NASCAR’s lawsuit against Cessna.
“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” But this last weekend at Martinsville, NASCAR fans were given a rare glimpse of an apparent exception to that rule.
“We have a lot of fans that are very, very loyal to NASCAR races and to Daytona in general,” said ISC spokesperson Lenny Santiago.
As long as the ineptitude of Brian France reigns over NASCAR, the easier it gets for the true race fan to enjoy a night or weekend at the races.
Lately, there has been talk about women racers having their own series. The first I ever heard of it was during our Mirror Driving meeting this past week.
Former Drive for Diversity driver, Jesus Hernandez has probably given up on his dream of making it to NASCAR’s big leagues. if not, he should.
This last week, Hernandez, whose most recent job was a test team mechanic (kind of like being a prestigious member of an NFL ‘practice squad’) for Earnhardt Ganassi Racing, filed a wrongful termination suit against EGR. In his suit, Hernandez claims he was fired after he threatened to go to OSHA about working conditions at an EGR test tunnel. Hernandez seems to think that the tunnel does not have adequate ventilation and claims he suffered symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.
It was nice to see Jeff Gordon in victory lane again… sort of makes us all feel that NASCAR is somehow slipping back to a normalcy we once knew and expected.
