Wipe, now don't get all in a huff over nothing...racing is supposed to be about fun.
Detroit and Windsor (Canada) are really like sister cities on each side of the Detroit river. I've spend a lot of time in both
There are a lot of NASCAR fans in Canada, and given the proximity of the border crossing, the speedway in Michigan usually has a lot of Canadians in the stands.
It's become a tradition at the Michigan Speedway to honor these Canadian fans with their National Anthem...sort of a "thanks for bothering to stop on by and support our sport" kind of gesture.
I know, the notion of recognizing another nation in a sort of "we're all in it together" sort of way is pretty damn liberal...but if I were you I'd be more afraid of the Scientologists trying to corrupt your sport
