Senator requesting media to not air NRA 500

The Senator is well aware that Fox and Nascar have a contract to televise the race. Pure political grandstanding. One more example of politicians using a tragedy to further their own careers.
 
Free States had better be very aggressive about cleaning the legislative house in upcoming elections. I would never have believed that such an outright assault on personal freedom would be possible in this country.
 
I wouldn't give horse manure to Sen. Murphy. I could use it on my acerages to rich the soil.

Was it me or did Fox Sports sell out? I watched most of the race and never once heard the announcers call the race the NRA 500. When the on screen graphic showed the winner, it read "Texas 500". This just quizzes me off to no end.

"As is custom for all race sponsors, the NRA was offered the chance to buy the premium ad package from Fox Sports that would include commercial time, sponsor mentions and graphics with the race name. The NRA declined, and thus the race was presented without a sponsor on in-race graphics and the Fox broadcast mentioned the title sponsor once an hour. Earlier in the week, Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy (D) wrote a letter to Fox to ask the network not to broadcast the race.
The NRA's sponsorship met and passed all NASCAR guidelines for sponsorship approval, but the sanctioning body said on Friday that it would take a closer look at other factors when going through its standard sponsorship approval process moving forward."
