If any other major series has a race half as thrilling as the Brazil round, it would probably be front page news. A lot of people are missing the best racing anywhere right now.

SORRY, but you are wrong... I walk around every part of the track with a HUGE Queers4Gears on my shirt, never once, not even a little have I felt unsafe. I tried to explain all of this to you on Twitter, but you refuse to belive me. Sorry, I can't do anything but point out the ways that NASCAR has FULLY embraced and accepted me in the garage. you can piss and moan all you want... and I am sorry you feel this way but you are wrong - Michael Myers Q4G Founder Karenlynn:

HIV/AIDS hits all kinds! Parents that kick there own kids out of the house onto the streets because there LGBT! The killing and beatings of LGBT people! The prejudiced and misunderstanding of LGBT people! Why are we LGBT! What does it mean to us to be LGBT! The misuse of the Bible and the Constitution against LGBT! Neither is right! God loves all no matter our faults! The Constitution has no exceptions in it any where in it!All Men are created equal no exceptions in it either! Look Christians have a right to believe what they believe I'm not trying to convert them! Nor should anyone else! But all of us have the right to live together and be treated as equals! We may not agree or even support each other that's America! But to treat people that they are lower than another is not right in any way any how!

They did it under the radar though. You don't see this. So they would not upset there right wing conservative base. Why did they not get out in the public ie tv,radio and let the whole world know. That's the point. There in the closet as much as to many LGBT Americans. NASCAR talked about drivers and there staff not about LGBT fans. They didn't talk about how all people are and should be treated equal! So see what they did they covered there butt's as fare as there NASCAR family not the fans at all! Why not! They talk about guns,religion,military But not equality for all Americans! Not the safety for all there fans regardless of who they are! On Dave Moody show today he was compared to and told he was the rush Limbaugh of NASCAR. WOW congrates being compared to a man that say's LGBT are lower than him. That LGBT wants to have sex with animals made legal. A man that uses the constitution and the bible to degrade LGBT! What a compliment! Also you might want to explain what LGBT means to Dave Moody. I tried to explain what transgender means and covers he does not get it! (tg) transgender,(tv) transvestite,(ts) transsexual. I'm a tg in transition (MTF)male to female,(FTM) female to male, (SRS) sexual reassignment surgery,(HRT) hormone replacement therapy. You might help Dave in these meanings and his listeners!This is a chance for all of NASCAR to learn! We as LGBT need our stories out there in the NASCAR world so they under stand what we go through. I've known sense I was 12/13 I was LGBT. They need to know what we go through at the hands of right wing people like NASCAR fans and many others! Who chooses to be LGBT! What so we can be beat,killed,spit on,told the constitution is for anyone except LGBT, fired for being LGBT,LGBT military couples can't have the same benifits as straight couples in the military! Get it! They don't! If you really think it's safe at the tracks your out of touch! Thanx It’s great what they did. They did it under the radar though. You don’t see this.

It drives me nuts when someone just ASSumes that NASCAR fans are bigots. Are there some? Yes, but there are some in NFL and all the other sports. But more importantly the sanctioning body and the people in the garages are open minded. That is what matters. Thank you for this Mike.

He threw a block at Talledega last fall that wrecked the entire field. Drivers aggressively block one another when going for the win. That's the sport. I also don't understand this comment: "For a guy that’s been complaining about how everyone else is driving here." What I recall was Joey Logano confronting Denny Hamlin and calling him out for intentionally wrecking him at Bristol, something that Denny Hamlin openly admitted. It seems to me that Tony Stewart is having a rough start to the season and needs to find healthier ways to handle his frustration. I don’t get why Tony Stewart is so bent out of shape.

Why am I not surprised at these so called "Christians"? But..as with any virus or cancer..if you feed it,it will stick around. And if NASCAR is running "fag" cars,then I will love 'em even more. Call me a fan of "fags",a fan of NASCAR and a fan of Queers4Gears.
