Ray Ciccerelli, his name is. He's racing tonight.
He now says he doesn't support the flag or respect what it stands for, but it was about freedom (or is that freedumb) of expression.
Apparently, his defense of freedom of expression is absolute. Well, at least for 36 hours. Then, it's not that important after all.
My guess: nearly every racing association in the country that pays more than $50 for winning told him "Don't bring that here, Ray Ray!"
So, rather than slinking into the minor, minor, minor leagues, he tried to cover his tracks.

(10,002 posts)There are many interesting "turns of phrase" around racin` My favorite was "The Professor" , Eddie Flemke, after test lapping a car for a friend: " You should cut it up, or sell it to your enemies!" ( Maybe RayRay bought it, and still does'nt know.....)
