Did you know there’s been an economic crisis that has left some US citizens with a bad taste? Did you know that the next us presidential elections will take place next year? What can you do to drum up some support and make people who like shotguns and Mopar rally to your cause.

The reason - they say that scheduling conflicts are to blame. We’d be excited to stand next to the president and shake hands, but Greg Biffle, Tony Stewart, Kevin Harvick, Kurt Busch and Carl Edwards might not feel that way, according to SB Nation.
