Bubba isn't even in cup yet and already having to deal with idiots. Such crap he's has to put up with this junk in 2017. Disgraceful.

i agree, bubba is going to have a tough first year with RPM, but i think he is tough enough to weather the storm, and gain fans going forward.

it is a sad state that in this day in age that we still have nitwits that view people based on race.

Yeah, I think he's tough, and good, enough to make it. Just sad this stuff still happens.

You know.. I've said many times that racism is far more prevalent, or at least overt in the northern areas than the south.

See Joel Ward of the Capitals after he beat Boston a few years back.

This guy from Wisconsin.. I believe from Kenseth's hometown.. Was particularly vicious with the comments about Bubba's grandmother. Certainly not someone who should be teaching in schools. He can say all he wants that he didn't mean it, but you start throwing things like that out in public towards someone you don't know.. There's more to it than that.

Now.. something I read in there that I had no idea about was some reference to a '1423' number.. I don't know of that and I honestly have no inclination to google it. But.. That one smells to me.. What are the odds that you randomly pick some number associated with a racist group?

Well if it is limited to a four digit number the odds are about 1:9,999 if leading zeros are allowed.

So, we were at the truck race last night. Kind of boring for the first 130 laps and then the racing really started between #4 and #18 with door to door running for 3-4 laps, then all hell broke loose.

What was really funny/sad/not good is during those 130 laps some 65+ year old dude 3 rows down in front of us was looking at freaking sexting pictures on his phone, two rows of us were snickering/shocked and shaking our heads. Just can't understand what some think is okay nowadays.

Just wanted to smack him upside the head for doing such stupid stuff at a family event...

well it is unfortunate that chase elliot did not get his first win today, kennseth beat him after passing him with a hand full of laps to go. kennseth just had fresher tires than elliot did. good effort for the kid though.

Chase may end up as the successor to Mark Martin instead of his dad.
