OK, yesterday I took my son, Tony to Lowes Motor Speedway to do his volunteer work. The road leading to the speedway is basically a bunch of campgrounds. I saw more confederate flags, beer bellies, barbecue grills, and short-shorts in one small stretch than I’ve seen in my entire life!
This first picture is just an example. C’mon, four guys, 3 beer bellies, 3 confederate flags, a grill, a couple of racing flags and sign above the whole thing saying “Asshole’s Garage”. Well, at least they put the American flag on top!
The confederate flag used to bother me; however, I don’t let it trouble me any more. It’s a symbol of a horrid past, but it is just that, the past; however, among a lot of race fans, it seems to not have been forgotten.
Photography by Tony Lester. He was taking pictures with my D40 as I creeped down the street in heavy traffic. I played the part of director, pointing out the shots that I wanted.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
It really does seem to me that these people are out of touch with reality but I guess they have created their own.

LOL…I needed a good laugh this morning…thanks.
That is just classic, How many jokes can you get from these pictures alone? You know you’re a redneck if….
I spent a fair amount of my life in Georgia. These bring back some memories. We actually had a group that prided themselves on being red-necks in my high school alongside the jocks, cheerleaders, nerds, etc.
I like this post! I love the way our country differs from region to region. What a wonderful country we live in!! There is so much to experience…in many different circumstances. I like to stand back from it all and observe and smile.
