Sign on I-4 gives NASCAR fans the cold shoulder

Kristen Reed | Sentinel Staff Writer
Posted February 21, 2007

The electronic sign on the side of Interstate 4 is supposed to warn motorists of an upcoming exit.

This weekend, someone reprogrammed it with a slightly different message: "NASCAR sucks. Go home."

Florida Department of Transportation officials said a prankster with the right kind of keyboard and a password changed the sign this weekend as hundreds of thousands of race fans poured into the area.

The sign -- a 7-by-10-foot movable message board -- was posted near the Saxon Boulevard exit by the eastbound lanes, DOT spokesman Steve Homan said. An employee noticed the unauthorized message late Saturday night. By Sunday morning, the sign was switched off.

Homan said, though he said DOT would not try to find the culprit. "There are just people that are inclined to use our means of communicating, I guess."

well there will always be people who don't understand how a car works. I don't really blame them and they are entitled to thier own opinions and thats fine by me.

We understand how cars work just fine, the problem with that is we know a car can turn left AND right.

How the care works isn't really that important when every single car is limited by the same mandatory restrictions.

Nascar runs on several tracks that have both left and right hand turns. The cars are capable of turning left and right regardless of the track, and they do.

I guess you guys hate drag races as well. Like I said, everyone is entitled to thier opinions, but the whole "turning one way" arguement is just well... lets not get into that.

Me, I can appreciate a fast machine regardless of what it does or which way it turns.
