This is just plain STUPID!!!! There are signs at the track saying you might be photographed. And why the heck was he "humiliated and embarrassed"
*******************

Boy’s Privacy Invaded When Pictured In NASCAR Brochure, Suit Claims: A Joliet [IL] man says his minor son had his privacy invaded when the Chicagoland Speedway used pictures of him to advertise its events in a brochure. In a lawsuit filed in federal court against Raceway Associates and Chicagoland Speedway, David Fremouw claims his son's photo was used approximatly 17 times in an advertising brochure the defendants mailed out. On July 8, 2005, David Fremouw took his son, Mathew, to the Chicagoland Speedway, where the minor was photographed via video or camera, the suit said. Mathew Fremouw appeared on the cover of the defendants' brochure, which was used as ‘Exhibit A’ in the suit. A photocopy of the cover depicts a race car in the foreground and blurred images in the background. Because of his use in the brochure, Mathew Fremouw feels humiliated and embarrassed, the suit claims. David Fremouw is seeking an undisclosed amount in damages.(wbbm780.com)(12-30-2006)

Just proves that people will sue for anything these days...instead of working and raising their families to be responsible...everyone tries to get rich quick...


Sad and pathetic.

Personally, if I was on the cover of the Chicagoland Speedway Track Guide, I'd be pumped. Not so much "humiliated and embarassed." It's sad knowing people will try to make money no matter what the circumstance.

i would personally love to be on it it also but i am not sure that this isnt legit.

First of all a minor can not enter into a legel contract without parents permission. so they shouldnt have used a child no matter what.

you also have to think that if you made a broucure for something and nascar was pictured on it they would be do everything to stop you so live by the sword die by the sword.
