    Oh I wasn't defending it. Certainly inappropriate but completely unsurprising.

    Peter didn't deny Jesus three times; he denied climate change.

    I find them both distasteful, but that is because of their content. If a privately-owned race series wants an invocation, especially at a privately-owned track, that's their call.

    There have been some around these parts who would suggest that since TMS depends on, e.g., the police for traffic control, etc., that any such invocation is perilously close to a "separation of church and state" violation ...

    For the record, I do not oppose NASCAR having an invocation.

    I have to guess this is well-settled law.
