What does Greg Biffle, Tony Stewart, Kevin Harvick, and Carl Edwards all have in common- well for one they all turned down an invitation to visit President Barack Obama at the White House and Chillax at the Oval Office... honestly they said time conflicts prevent them from attending according to Autoblog; at least that is what we want to believe- What would you do, change your schedule or sit down and rap with the President!
Here is the Full Story...
Five NASCAR drivers invited to meet President Barack Obama at the White House aren't going to show, citing "scheduling conflicts." Nobody's sure whether "scheduling conflicts" means "political views," but thanks to stereotypes associated with NASCAR, nobody's ruling that out.
The president invited 12 drivers from the 2010 Chase to celebrate their successes. The drivers bailing include Greg Biffle, Tony Stewart, Kevin Harvick, and Carl Edwards. Jimmie Johnson, Denny Hamlin, Jeff Gordon, Kyle Busch, Kurt Busch (who had initially declined), Clint Bowyer, Jeff Burton and Matt Kenseth all plan to attend.
While the absentees may indeed have scheduling conflicts, we'd expect that if that were the case, it'd hold true for the majority of those invited. Also, passing on the chance to meet the sitting U.S. president, regardless of one's views, seems like an odd move.
