Five NASCAR drivers, including Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch and Carl Edwards decline White House invite to honor champion Jimmie Johnson, is this a coincidence?

It seems that five NASCAR drivers won't be going to the White House to honor champion Jimmie Johnson and the 11 other Chase drivers from last year. 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." Really? Just like that? How many times does one get invited to the White House, no matter what your political affiliation is? If anything, the photo opportunity alone, to be seen with the President of the United States, should be enough to whet the appetites of just about anyone. Denny Hamlin, Jeff Gordon, Kyle Busch, Clint Bowyer, Jeff Burton and Matt Kenseth will reportedly attend.
