Sen Chris Murphy wrote Brian France a letter concerning the name & sponsorship of the spring race in Texas.
NRA 500
Senator Murphy ask nascar to reconsider
“After the horrific mass shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, which claimed the lives of 20 children and six educators, the NRA has taken an unprecedented extreme position in the debate over the proper response to this tragedy, placing themselves at odds with the overwhelming majority of the American people, and even their own members,” Murphy wrote in the letter. “Given the emotional state of the national conversation, I believe it would be imprudent for NASCAR to step into such a heated political debate and take sides in this debate by allowing the NRA the title role in the race.”
The letter Chris wrote is at the end of that article.
