My guess... it ain't gonna happen. Someone within the "hallowed halls" of NASCAR opened his/her mouth way too soon.

The words of Mike Helton are instructive:

“But we’re continuing to look at the new drivers that are coming along and we’re also looking at how they mature and how they can handle the pressures of racing in our top division,” Helton said. NASCAR is not close to making a decision about raising the minimum age requirements for the Sprint Cup Series, but it is something that is continually discussed.

“It’s not something that’s been decided on, but it’s just one of a lot of things that we talk about all the time,” Helton said. “That’s just something that’s out there right now that people are eating it up.”

"NASCAR now gave its drivers and teams another reason to cheat - tax deductions!!!"

Sorry, I did a snark along the same lines at my place, but if tax deductions were in the offing NASCAR would get them. They would be the ones in possession of the cash and it would be NASCAR that turns it over to the the charity.

Sounds like another veiled shot at his former boss Teresa.

But you never heard me say that!

Horatio.... could you be just a little bit more up to date on current news.

Paul was INCLUDED in the Fox debate on the tenth.

And got PUNKED!

You ask "Why isn't Rudy being excluded then?" Maybe because Rudy polls more than double digits, maybe because he's not a fruitcake.
