My hat goes off to the people that serve our country but don't sign up just because you like Nascar. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jeff Johnson]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 29th 2008 8:47AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/29/u-s-navy-wants-you-to-join-the-dale-jr-division/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/29/u-s-navy-wants-you-to-join-the-dale-jr-division/</guid><description><![CDATA[I THINK  DALE JR HAS THE RIGHT TO DRIVE ANY CAR WITH ANY SPONSOR!!!!

This has been going on for decades in stock cars, drag racing, off-road racing, motocross/supercross, superbikes, etc - you name it, and they've sponsored something revolving around it.  <br><br>As far as the taxpayer dollar helping fund a race team, it's really no different than any other form of advertising  for the military - TV/Print/Radio etc... If the military's marketing departments didn't think they were getting proper exposure, they wouldn't be doing it, and those same tax dollars would be sent elsewhere in hopes of drawing attention, support, and enlistees.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[adrenalnjunky]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 29th 2008 9:53AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/29/u-s-navy-wants-you-to-join-the-dale-jr-division/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/29/u-s-navy-wants-you-to-join-the-dale-jr-division/</guid><description><![CDATA[If you really think about it, we the American consumer have a role in funding every Nascar team.

The car pictured is a Nationwide (was Busch) series car.  Junior owns his own Nationwide race team and typically fields 2 cars int hat series as an owner - the 88 Navy car driven by Brad Keselowski, and the 5 car driven usually by one of the Hendricks racing drivers (Junior, Jimmie Johnson, or Casey Mears)  In this case the 5 was already scheduled to be driven by Jimmie for that race.  When Junior decided to do this promotion, he had a 3rd car built up for himself to drive.  He wouldn't want to take Keselowski out of the 88 for that race, as he is doing well in the points, and is already driving a Navy sponsored car.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[adrenalnjunky]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 29th 2008 10:01AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/29/u-s-navy-wants-you-to-join-the-dale-jr-division/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/29/u-s-navy-wants-you-to-join-the-dale-jr-division/</guid><description><![CDATA[Thanks for clarifying (I don't watch/follow Nascar).
