The other day, it struck me that the opening prayer before some of the races is complete and total arrogance, and a clear indication of what NASCAR continues to represent in this county...some psuedo, vanilla, "NASCAR Mom", cultural phenom, that seems to be predicated on intolerance, xenophobia, and a culture that looks on the surface designed to set us back 30 years.
I am a devout Catholic.
But to end a prayer in front on 100,000+ people, whom if representive of this country would be Muslims, Jews, Catholics, Budhists, and Hindus, "we ask this of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"...
It is the height of arrogance.
