How fitting for Little Rudy (9/11 all the time) Giuliani to appeal to the 'NASCAR Crowd' because most of those Mouth-Breathing, Knuckle-Draggers barely know what is going on in this country and can only hold one thought in their head at a time. The empty phrase '9/11' is just short enough to stick.

Yeah, with all his ex-wives and mistresses together Rudy Guiliani can fill a whole racing team or baseball team for himself.
oh.. 9/11!

Let's hope that all NASCAR fans, as well as everyone else, donate to the Republican of their choosing. A vision of Hillary Clinton at a NASCAR race, or throwing out the first pitch of the season is unsettling to the stomach...

Rudy Giuliani will hold a NASCAR-flavored fundraiser next week in Charlotte.

Brian France, owner of NASCAR is hosting a fundraiser for the former New York City mayor on November 7th, according to Jim Culbertson, the Winston-Salem businessman who is Giuliani's state chairman.

The cocktail reception will be held at the home of Jennifer Frances Bates and Ward Bates with costs ranging from $1,000 per person to $2,300 per person for a photograph, Rob Christensen reports.

Culberston said hoped the event would raise "a couple of hundred thousand" dollars. He said some of the racing figures who have given to Giuliani include Rick Hendrick, Richard Childress and NASCAR's top two drivers, Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson.

This is the second North Carolina fund raiser for Giuliani. One was held for the GOP presidential candidate in Greensboro in April.
