We always thought the people that ran NASCAR were leeches. Now we have proof. Blood donors. Donating blood is a good thing. I’m just peed because Brian the Fool will get credit for it.

You give Brian France WAYYY to much credit !!!! Even if he had anything to do with formulating this event someone with a lot more business/ marketing sense hatched this one up for the track.
The world of Daytona is still as it was and Brian is still the bumbling fool he always has been.
Worthwhile idea though and much needed for local blood banks… Not to mention a great tax write off for ISC. Giving the tickets away means nothing as far as lost revenues to the track as they never ever come close to selling 1/2 the seats but will collect a fat tax write off for giving away seats that they would never have sold in the first place.
That idiot will somehow get credit because his family owns the track and basically owns and runs NASCAR.
Regardless if Oz has motive or not, you can’t suck blood from
a turnip - most realize this. More likely than not, in all
probability someone from the blood bank got that blessing needed
so the mobile can set up, take and give out. The vampires are
those who see first hand what this precious gift does and its
worth their time and effort - gives life to someone needing.
Beyond the emerald city, is but a man and yet my credit goes
to all who do come out and give - YOU!
save a life - only a pint, Cookies and Juice are free and yet,
the Pit Pass is just a bonus it takes, unfortunately, to get
people off their butts - think of others in need.

Oz, can’t write off bags of blood, but I would like to see him
step on up to the plate and give’s a little of his - wouldn’t
hut any man knowing yours stays in and builds up plaque. Rid
and make some new I say - Giving Blood is Good 4-U
