Obvously the NASCAR people havent

Welllllll...

I don't think the NASCAR Folks "want" to be in the same
catagory as "R-Rated Movies"!

They've spent a LOTTA money promoting racing as a "FAMILY Sport" -
and want the "Family" of ALL ages to be participants and spectators.

Just ONE "loose tongue" can *upset* a LOTTA Mommies -
and *upset Mommies* may not be so willing to let their "lil Ones"
watch or attend races.

"Lil E" (or "Junior", if you prefer) has come a LONG way over
the last year to become a much better SpokesPerson for NASCAR -
he's dropped a lot of his more childish phrases and mannerisims;
and has become a sought after guest for many interviews...

A "slip" like this is bad for NASCAR *AND* his own image -
and a monetary fine is less than a slap-on-the-wrist or
washing his mouth out with soap...
Take few POINTS away - and he WILL Remember to be more
careful with what he says...
As will all the Other Drivers!
