Just a thought, but I always cringe when riders say 'Thanks for the great man above for letting me ride" etc, like Dungey today. Sounds so corny, kinda red neck'ish and border line un-professional. You don't hear that stuff in Formula One. Just a thought.. .

When you win a national championship you can thank your third-grade teacher if you want to.

If riders or drivers feel to show their faith, why question it? Their the one's that put themselves in the position to be interviewed, so they can say what they would like to say.

I'm sure you have never been in that situation, but if you were, I would hope someone wouldn't ask "Why did he say that, it sounds corny".

Let it go pal and go back to your worship of the Beast.

Last I checked we still had free speech here, true? Since the winner of the race can say what he wants why don't you just go win and then you can say what you want.

Tell you what.... Get your first Pro posium speach and you can thank whoever you want. God would be on my list.

So, if it's perfectly fine to announce your beliefs on the podium I wonder what kind of a response a rider would get if he were to thank Buddha for keeping them safe? Hahaaa, now that would be something different!

Just curious, if a non-christian rider thanked his god, would all of you still think it was great?
