COMMENTS:
*  LOL more lunacy from the Robertson teatardia crowd ...with his imaginary tooth fairy that no one has seen or heard from in 2000 years ..
*  And this is exactly why nascar is losing fans. As long as any professional entertainment sports league endorses any religion then it will be left behind. Those leagues who stay out of politics and religion do just fine. 
In other words keep your religion a personal matter between you and whatever sky lord you believe in. I dont want to hear about it because all I will think is you are nuts.   *  I hit mute when that idiot mentioned "guns and god" in the same sentence.
   *  Only nascar has a pre game religious prayer for fans. But go ahead and keep thinking some sky lord exists who cares about fast cars. Man you hayseeds are dumb.
*  This religious goon better start praying a lot more to his non-existent magic man in the sky then cause his boy Rafael Eduardo Cruz will never be president.
*  There is a place for politics and religion. put them in a prayer at a sporting event is stupid, there are Christens, Jews and atheists, and other faiths that follow the sport. Why can't I enjoy a race without the constant Politics BS being involved. My God, and his son probably care less about the election, and the Pseudo-Christens running for office
*  This guy is praying to Jesus, and Jesus would never ignore the prayers of a virtuous Christian man, and Jesus is all-powerful, therefore if Bernie or Hillary get elected it is proof that Jesus does not exist, AMIRIGHT?

Texas pre-race prayer asks to put a 'Jesus man' in White House
By Nick Bromberg, April 9, 2016

Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson asked for 'a Jesus man in the White House' during the pre-race prayer for the Sprint Cup Series' race at Texas on Saturday night.

Robertson gave the prayer because the family company, Duck Commander, is the title sponsor of the race. Robertson started the prayer with a reference to the Bible and guns. Here's the prayer in full:

Alright Texas, we got here via Bibles and guns. I'm fixing to pray to the one who made that possible. Father thank you for founding our nation. I pray father that we don't forget who brought us. You. Our faith in the blood of Jesus and his resurrection. Help us father to get back to that. Help us dear God understand that the men and women on my right, the U.S. military. On my right and on my left. Our faith in you and the U.S. military is the reason we're still here. I pray Father that we put a Jesus man in the White House. Help us do that and help us all to repent to do what's right to love you more and to love each other. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

Taking Robertson's words on the surface, the prayer is asking for either Republicans Donald Trump, Ted Cruz or John Kasich to be elected. All three are professed Christians. Democrat Bernie Sanders is Jewish and Democrat Hillary Clinton, well she's not a man.

To go a step further, you could also believe that Robertson was praying for Cruz's chances. Robertson has endorsed Cruz for president and said he wanted people to "Keep your sex right there" when referring to heterosexual marriages at a Cruz rally in February. Robertson was previously suspended from "Duck Dynasty" regarding comments he made about homosexuality to GQ.

NASCAR is the only major sport that regularly has a pre-event prayer. And while Robertson's prayer became outwardly political, it's also not unusual for the pre-race prayers to be exclusive to Christianity like his was.

Yes, NASCAR audiences are predominantly Christian, but it wouldn't take much effort to have non-denominational prayers become the norm at races. It would fit nicely with NASCAR's diversity efforts; efforts that have been scrutinized with NASCAR CEO Brian France's presidential endorsement of Donald Trump.

And while Robertson has done the prayer at previous races his company has sponsored, you can also question NASCAR's oversight in letting a man known for his intolerant comments be a pre-race face of your sport.

Duck Commander took over in 2014 as the primary sponsor of the spring Texas race from the NRA. The race sponsorship from the NRA received extensive criticism and NASCAR responded with a statement that it would be reviewing race sponsorship agreements more closely.
