Fatal Sprint Car accident at Beaver Dam Wisconsin yesterday evening;

 

http://xfinity.comca...-Driver-Killed/

 

A tragic accident that claimed the life of a Sprint Car driver, nothing more nothing less. The point of me bringing this up is, why mention the Stewart/Ward fatal accident? It has absolutely nothing to do with this incident.

 

My question is rhetorical. Coupled with Stewart breaking his leg last year, and the fatal Jason Leffler accident at Bridgeport, the mass media seems to be hell bent on bashing Sprint Car racing in general every chance they get. We all know how dangerous they can be. These cars are so much safer than they were in the early 70's when I started watching them, but drivers can still get maimed or worse. My only wish is that the mass national media afford these cars and their drivers the respect they deserve by covering the sport fairly with the same enthusiasm they employ when a tragedy occurs. I don't hold out much hope that that will ever be the case.

More so than that, let's wait and see if there is a three week investigation, and if the other driver involved has the evidence sent to the grand jury...I'm thinking NOT...

Media is biased simple as that.

Instead of important news concerning the downward spiral of a nation, they will cover the smallest and least important stories...

So before this post catches flak I will clear this up right now...

This is a stab and the biased media, and their attempt to report and project negativity to the country.

As drivers there is an inherent risk that this may be the last time getting into a car. As drivers they take every precautions necessary to walk away at the end of a night, but the thought of "this could be the last time" is always there.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends

Another death in Sprint car racing is worth mentioning as a " Journalist" However did you notice that the guy did not become a " Sodomite journalist " by stating bogus made up opinions on  the Stewart incident.

Deaths in racing or anywhere are tragic and part of life but More tragically , Sodomite Journalism has taken over the Main Stream side of Media with its satanic Agenda

 

Onefastcar hit it on the head !

several dead americans including an embassador dragged down the streets and murdered on 9-11-2012.   Help was told to " Stand down "

 

And the president of the USA carts out a lie about it ( and everything else ) for several weeks ! and its not even a story !

10% of obamacare enrolled cant prove they are citizens .. no story here!

 

Walt pointed out a guy reporting about stewart who he believed didn't have a clue ... and then someone else points out the guy is practicaly Mario Andretti literate .. Agenda got that guys tongue

 

Hillary covering up for a Pedofile embassador who paid for kids sex .. NO STORY HERE!

 

God help the family of that driver  who died !

I was working in the garage last night and had the channel 4 news on to see the weather..right as the report ended the sports monkey came on saying that there was another tragic sprint accident and someone was killed tonight. I immediately thought Lernerville hoping it wasn't a friend,after commercial the moron starts into the guy dieing in Wisconsin which I thought was kinda strange but then he stumbled through mentioning Tony's crash and saying it was the second driver in a month to die in a sprint cup sprintcar race. it pissed me off and I'm glad I'm not the only one.. f*ck wtae and their ratings,I'm deleting them from the channel list.

A sprint cup sprint cup race is all it takes to prove this guy is an idiot. If you want to do a story about something, at least know a little about what your reporting.
