Celebrity NASCAR Driver Dick Trickle Backs Leslie Ghiz’s Proposal To Ban Nicknames

CINCINNATI-Cincinnati councilwoman Leslie Ghiz is backing a bill that would make nicknames, especially those of a derogatory and sexual nature, illegal. In the past weeks, Ghiz has exploded all over the Cincinnati area, appearing on radio, TV, and even campaigning door to door. Backed by colleagues Sharon Semen and Mike Hunt, Ghiz is on a mission to end what she calls “malignant and inappropriate nicknaming.”

On Monday, Ghiz’s campaign got a big lift from “America’s Winningest Driver” Dick Trickle. “It just ain’t funny,” says Trickle, a 61-year-old veteran stock card driver and NASCAR star.

Many of Ghiz’s constituents wholeheartedly agree. “We’ve heard it all before,” says Hugh Jass of Sharonville. “People think they’re funny. They’re not.”
