Scientology Influencing Minds Via NASCAR team called Dinetics

Scientology Goes NASCAR With Dianetics Race Car


The Church of Scientology is gearing up to bring its message to a whole new arena: racing fans.

"Ignite Your Potential" is the mantra Scientology uses to get Tom Cruise and other Hollywood celebs jumping up and down. Now that message will be used to fuel the engines of a new NASCAR race team.

-snip-

The team is hoping to spread messages of Scientology through weekly tours on the track, although it will compete on the local circuit, not NASCAR's premiere national events.

-snip-

NASCAR did not address the idea that it now has a controversial new participant in its very successful money machine.

"We're not going to comment on the sponsors that the local weekly tracks secure," Kerry Tharp of NASCAR.

What the HECK? I've never heard of such a thing.

2. This should be an interesting year for NASCAR.
Between Toyota and this "religion", tracks around the country might implode on race day.

3. What minds?
Watching machinery go around in circles doesn't require a helluva lot of brain-cells.
