T.J. Simers, another ignorant L.A. Times NASCAR basher, puts his foot in his mouth

Editor’s note: Yet another L.A. ‘columnist’ that knows little more than to use cliches and put-downs and show his ignorance in bashing NASCAR. It’s emabarrasing that with all the great Southern California race fans that love NASCAR (including us!), we have to put up with these morons like T. J. Simers who’s ‘expertise’ is stick and ball:

The morning began early, as I checked out of the Hyatt Regency in Irvine, $129 for the room, $13.03 in taxes, $63 for dinner, $13 for self-parking and $14.99 for an in-room movie.
The wife, who will be sitting in the bleachers today for the red carpet arrivals — she’ll be easy to spot, she’ll be wearing Target — has made a point of seeing every movie up for any kind of Academy Award this year, save one, “The Good Shepherd.”
She learned the movie was being offered by the Hyatt, so we paid $233.02 to make sure she has now seen every movie in the category of “art direction.”
I suggested we rent a few other movies to make the night really memorable, but she said she couldn’t see any good reason to spend more money.
Lucky me, I’ve got a frugal wife.
I left Irvine for the drive to Fontana. I figured I could make it in two or three days.
They’ve got another auto race way out there — a bunch of cheaters from down south coming here to make some noise, and probably run off with some of our women.
Last year the president of California Speedway, Gillian Zucker, offered a $1,000 donation to the Mattel Children’s Hospital at UCLA if I stopped by the track. I wasn’t surprised to learn they have to pay people to go to these things.

This guy might possibly be the least informed journalist on the planet…if you can call him that. I am not sure he deserves the title of Journalist… real journalists would never print something so blatantly incorerct1.
sorry for my typo! I couldn’t see the whole post.
What do you expect…anyone who thinks the academy awards means ANYTHING in real life is a loser anyway. He needs to stay away from the race track , he would lower the IQ of the fans with his arrival.
“Jouralists” like this are just trying to get NASCAR fans mad. It’s pretty obvious that he knows nothing about racing.
This guy clearly doesn’t understand what NASCAR racing is all about. He probably has nothing else better to write about.
“anyone who thinks the academy awards means ANYTHING in real life is a loser anyway”
I beg your pardon?
I’m a loser for thinking that great artistic acheivement means something in life?
Especially when a number of those nominated this year (such as Helen Mirren and Dame Judy Dench) have been amazing artist examples and influences on myself as an actor?
Is that so?
That statenment is equally as ignorant as what the journalist said.
Not doing too well to prove a point against ignorance, there, are you, Dude?

boring,uninformed journialist who doesnt know anything about
