Remember this guy?: Well, he's back at it again. The target this time is not just a rival racer, but an entire country and its people: Japan. This is the one major handicap, or depressingly an asset, that is keeping NASCAR at the periphery of the national psyche.
What a loser. I hope Toyota and Nissan and Mitsubishi, etc, etc, run circles (literally) around this ignorant asshat. And I also hope Kurt Busch beats the living shit out of Spencer.

"I hope Toyota and Nissan and Mitsubishi, etc, etc, run circles (literally) around this ignorant asshat." This is Jimmy Spencer we're talking about. Running circles around him ain't exactly difficult. His mouth has always run faster than his car.

NASCAR at the periphery of the national psyche. How wrong can one man be? So wrong that in this year's Presidential elections, there is a key demographic strategists are keying on. The new 'soccer mom' is the 'NASCAR dad'. Yikes.

The irony of it all: Toyota's entry into the full-sized pick/up market is constituted by vehicles that are actually 'Made In America' to a larger degree than actual American trucks/cars.
