For Fans: Five NASCAR Drivers Decline President Obama's White House Invitation
2011-09-02
Really for FrankG
President Barack Obama will honor NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson and the 11 other Chase drivers from last year in a White House ceremony on Wednesday -- but nearly half of the 2010 playoff contenders won't be there.

NASCAR said Thursday that five drivers -- Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch, Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick and Tony Stewart -- will not be attending the White House visit due to "schedule conflicts."

Johnson, Denny Hamlin, Jeff Gordon, Kyle Busch, Clint Bowyer, Jeff Burton and Matt Kenseth will attend.
