Major League Baseball Afraid Fans Will Mistakenly Attend NASCAR Truck Race
The MLB forced Eldora Speedway to rename its "Mud Summer Classic" NASCAR truck races, fearing it sounds too much like the "Midsummer Classic" All-Star Game.
But apparently Major League Baseball doesn't think its fans are smart enough to tell the difference between the All-Star Game and a summer truck racing series on a dirt oval in rural Ohio.
Yes, the MLB has pressured Eldora Speedway of Rossburg, Ohio (pop. 200) to re-name a summer promotional that for the past three years has gone under the name "Mudsummer Classic," alternately "Mud Summer Classic."
