    Shifting Gears By Matt Thompson, TAP
    After LeAnn Rimes sang the national anthem, the crowd above the grandstands started cheering; those below booed.

    Then Bush's motorcade drove by. One middle finger went up in the crowd, then another, and soon they were everywhere.

    As the crowd scattered to their seats, one of the few black fans I spotted at the racetrack ran by and saw me scribbling in my notepad. 'Writing for a newspaper?' she asked. Before I could respond, she shouted, 'Tell them Bush sucks!' Then she disappeared back into the fray.
