Seems to be an appropriate place to do it. Any NASCAR fans out there? Do they check you for weapons before entering the race like the NFL does before going into stadiums?

Since it was an NRA-sponsored event, I figured they not only checked you for weapons, but if you don't have one, they issue you one.

Well then that explains it. The man must have been a gun control nut and couldn't handle being in the backseat of a great NRA event.
Fred, NFL doesn't allow vehicles and Rv's in the infield.
I think James Holmes should be put in solitary confinement and issued a gun to help him cope with his problems.

That what I was suspecting, the gun came in via vehicle.

Once again a question for NASCAR fans, did it seem that Fox went out of its way to not mention that this race was the NRA 500, or is that normal? I noticed in the Denver Post, the only mention of the NRA as the sponsor was in the official results, not in the actual stories from the race.

I don't know about FOX going out of its way to not mention it, but the race sponsorships are set up so far in advance, and I'm pretty sure that the companies sponsoring aren't personally involved in planning and security details, so the fact that it happened to be sponsored by the NRA is happenstance and unrelated.

Fred, yes they do "pat" you down, but you are allowed to bring coolers into (some of) the races so it's not nearly as strict as the NFL or MLB. My parents retired a few years ago and going to races in their RV is what they do for fun (returning to their dating days).

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
