President Barack Obama will honor NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson and the 11 other Chase drivers from last year in a White House ceremony on Wednesday – but nearly half of the 2010 playoff contenders won't be there.
NASCAR said Thursday that five drivers – Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch, Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick and Tony Stewart – will not be attending the White House visit due to "schedule conflicts."
That was dumb on the White House's part to invite them in the middle of the season - of course they won't have time when they have to go from Atlanta to Richmond and have to change their cars to fit the track. Duh.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

It's dumb to invite them at all. Just more campaigning, this time for the NASCAR crowd vote.
Somebody needs to slip some textbooks on economics and business onto the Prez's desk. He's waaaaaaaaaaaay behind the learning curve.
