Carbon Motors applied for a $300 million ATVM loan two years ago, but has yet to secure the funding.

Filed under: Government/Legal The very first Mexican truck is set to enter the United States seventeen years after a provision in the North American Free Trade Agreement allowed cargo carriers from the south to carry freight across the border. The provision has faced stiff opposition from lawmakers and union officials alike, with the latest hurdle coming from the Obama Administration . In early 2009, the administration canceled a pilot program that would have had Mexican drivers making deliveries on a trial basis that year. Mexico responded with hefty tariffs on a range of 99 agricultural products worth around $2 billion annually.

Filed under: Racing Five NASCAR drivers invited to meet President Barack Obama at the White House aren’t going to show, citing “scheduling conflicts.” Nobody’s sure whether “scheduling conflicts” means “political views,” but thanks to stereotypes associated with NASCAR, nobody’s ruling that out. The president invited 12 drivers from the 2010 Chase to celebrate their successes. The drivers bailing include Greg Biffle, Tony Stewart , Kevin Harvick, and Carl Edwards. Jimmie Johnson , Denny Hamlin, Jeff Gordon, Kyle Busch, Kurt Busch (who had initially declined), Clint Bowyer, Jeff Burton and Matt Kenseth all plan to attend
