MADISON, Wisc. (Christian Examiner) – The, the litigious Wisconsin-based atheist group which claims it defends the wall of separation between church and state in the First Amendment, has a new target in its sights. This time, however, it isn't a government entity or a civic group engaged in Bible Study on a school campus that has raised the ire of atheists. It is NASCAR, a private corporation. The group is and other non-religious people to write to the CEO of NASCAR to ask him to leave the 'offensive' invocations out of the race events.

I think most race car drivers are christians. Many racing series have Ministors/pastors etc. That travel from race to race throughout the entire season. They devote there entire ministry to traveling along side with the teams, drivers and there family's.

The group even provided talking points for those who wish to complain to NASCAR. 'As one of the nearly 24 percent of the U.S. Population who's nonreligious, I enjoy NASCAR, but am left cold by the constant prayer and mindless imposition of religion at racing events. NASCAR is not a church or religious organization and should quit acting like one. Prayer is not a magic panacea nor is it a substitute for safe driving practices,' the talking points claimed.

NASCAR talking points from atheist group 'Drivers and audience members shouldn't be expected to show obeisance to somebody else's religion or God,' the statement continued. 'NASCAR: Drop the divisive and unnecessary religion.' In a about the initiative, FFRF said 'turning left isn't just for the religious right,' before listing a series of negative reactions to at the Duck Commander 500 in Fort Worth, Texas, which is sponsored by the Robertson family's company.

In the prayer, which FFRF classified as 'downright embarrassing,' Robertson said: 'Father thank you for founding our nation. I pray father that we don't forget who brought us — You. Our faith in the blood of Jesus and his resurrection.

Help us father to get back to that,' Robertson said. 'I pray Father that we put a Jesus man in the White House. Help us do that and help us all to repent to do what's right to love you more and to love each other.

In the name of Jesus we pray. FFRF called the prayer a 'political (and offensive) invocation.'

The prayer was also criticized by writers with the Associated Press, Orlando Sentinel and others. FFRF is likely wasting its time and its breath in rubbing bumpers with NASCAR's character. When the Robertson's inked the sponsorship deal for the race in 2014, it was as an ideal fit for the event. 'This is perhaps the most unique sponsorship in professional sports because not only does this come with special branding, it comes with celebrity spokespeople that are followed by tens of millions of people every week,' TMS President Eddie Gossage said at the time.

When Dale Sr entered turn 3 at Daytona International Speedway on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500, he got bumped from a car behind, he got loose, the front end of the car turned left, then his front tires hit the apron and he naturally turned his steering wheel the opposite direction, and when h e did, his car went head first into the outside retaining wall, he hit with such force, his face hit the steering wheel and suffered head trauma and that is how he died. He died from head trauma. His head lunged forward and hit window. He had open faced helmet on so when his head went forward it hit window and cracked his skull which caused bleeding in the brain and his vital organs to stop working. Plus the straps weren't secure enough to stop him. I do believe he did not hit the window, you would not be able to hit the windshield with a helmet on and get over the steering wheel.
