Conneticut Senator Christopher Murphy wanted to ban the showing of the race and actually wrote a nice cute little letter to Mr Murdoch about it.
Murdoch probably cast it aside to his junk folder but now Senator Murphy is getting lambasted by Facebook and Email posts from NASCAR fans and Texans in general. More people are going to watch this race because of this whole Gossage NRA Murphy debacle now.
I guess Senator Murphy and all the good folks in Washington are going to boycott the Coca Cola 600 for promoting childhood obesity.
