Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) is urging NASCAR to drop the NRA's sponsorship of the NRA 500 in Texas. Murphy is quoted here saying, “Given that you have been outspoken in your support of gun reform (the Newtown car), it is the height of irony that some would perceive that your company would now essentially endorse the NRA’s extreme position against such laws by broadcasting this event,”. As NASCAR attempts to broaden its appeal outside of the deep South, this is NOT a fight they should want to engage in. Contact info - Fanfeedback@nascar.com
