Dover International Speedway got the news from the Delaware Division of Public Health last week that it can go back to holding its original Zoom meetings — the kind that involve NASCAR drivers racing high-powered cars at 150 mph in front of fans in the grandstands.
Now all that remains to be settled is just how many fans Dover will be able to host for the May 14-16 NASCAR tripleheader weekend at the track known as the “Monster Mile.”
- Nothing like a superspreader event in the middle of a pandemic. — Charlie Harper
- Then, don’t go. Live in fear at home. — Tom Small
- Nothing like being able to make our own choices. Stay home and out of others’ business. — David Lepter
- If we want to go, that’s our business. If you’re scared, stay home in your bubble. — Rob Janney
- Farmers market, Walmart open. Don’t forget Lowe’s. That place is a madhouse with people. But NASCAR being outside, guess we can’t have that. — Jeff Grzeszczak
- With all 100 fans left in NASCAR, this isn’t the maximum allowed by the state. — Marc Auger
- Meanwhile, kids are still falling behind in Caesar Rodney School District. But hey, Firefly and NASCAR are coming back. Our state government is failing our children, it’s that simple. — Brian Moritz
- It’s OK. We are still paying the state. It’s school tax. They just want more for doing less. — Gary Showalter Jr.
- All of this! Took the words right out of my mouth! We can’t go to school in person five days a week, but this. — Crystal A. Dufresne
- If kids are falling behind, it’s the parents’ job to make sure they don’t. — Richard Damron
- If it is the parents’ job to fully educate their children, I’m fine with that. Give us our tax dollars back.. — Beth Gallagher
- Quit taxing us for schools we’re not even using. — Katherine Hannah
- Are kids going at least one day a week? If so, that’s where taxes are going. — Richard Damron
- None of them I know. And every parent I know, their kids are struggling sitting in front of a laptop. They don’t pay for their kids to sit in front of a computer for hours every day. And my kids are home-schooled because public schools in general are failing our children. — Katherine Hannah
- Kids should be going five days a week! Even if they are in the building just two days, they should be online with a teacher three days! Teachers are putting in more hours now than ever trying to educate kids. — Marge Mouhtarim
- It wouldn’t surprise me if Gov. Carney pulls another trick out of his hat. — Dwayne Todd
- Amazing. The race is fine, but legislators returning to Legislative Hall is a no-go. — Jake Phil
