Waaaaaaaaaahhh!!

I used to hate NASCAR. I couldn't understand why anyone would want to watch a bunch of cars drive in circles for three hours. Then some former bandmates gradually turned me onto it, and I was hooked. The last few years, however, I've becomed more and more disinterested in the sport. This is partly due to the new generation of young punk drivers (i.e. Kurt Busch) but mainly has to do with what has become the newest pastime for NASCAR drivers- complaining to the media about how unfair the rules are or unsafe it is for them to drive. I am sick and tired of listening to every driver bitch, moan and whine. In the old days, if one driver had a problem with another driver, they would just stalk them after the race and beat the shit out of them. I don't ever recall Bobby Allison or David Pearson crying about how they got bumped out of the race.

This past weekend, Tony Stewart complained about how something needs to be done about the tactic known as bump drafting before another driver gets killed.

"I was watching TV before we came down here and they were talking about the tribute to Dale Earnhardt," said Stewart, referring to the fact the legendary driver was killed five years ago in the 2001 Daytona 500. "Five years from now we're probably going to have to do another tribute to another driver because we're going to kill somebody. It could be me or Dale Earnhardt Jr. or anybody out there," said Stewart.

If it's not softening the bumpers or getting rid of restrictor plates, it's something else. Hey Tony and everyone else- how about putting your money where your mouth is? If it's so unsafe and you're so afraid of getting killed, then why don't you take a stand and refuse to race until NASCAR fixes the problem? Oh wait, of course you won't. Because you're The Home Depot's bitch. The sponsors own the drivers because the sponsors pay the millions of dollars it takes to put these cars on the track every week. Until you're willing to grow some balls and stand up for what you believe in, do us all a favor and shut the fuck up.
