11 Reasons Why I Hate NASCAR

11. They discouraged the fighting of of Greg Bifle's girlfriend and Kurt Busch's fiancee. Where do you see this in other sports, you don't, so why doesn't NASCAR continue to offer some southern bells fighting it out for one extra spot on the poll position every week right before the race. I would watch it.

10. The Viagra car is driven by an old man. The only time I have ever enjoyed the presence of Viagra on my television screen is whn the great Rafael Palmeiro had an add where he said "I take infield practice, I take Batting Practice, I take... VIAGRA.", followed by him turning to his agent and going, "Is that the stuff that's in those B12 shots Miguel Tejada gives me?"

9. The Racers fueds are actually much better than the race itself. Have you ever seen the constant bickering between men so humurous. They all have a holier than thou attitude. If they crashed during the race it's always someone elses fault, I watched sportscenter on monday and Tony Stewart was bitching about how Ryan Newman was not a good giver and taker and he was all take, while Newman was like he was supposed to give. Hilarity, much better than hours of driving.

8. The Playoff System is the most miserable piece of garbage ever invented. When you think NASCAR, after your first thoughts about how much it sucks, you think of the Daytona 500. That's it, that's the signature race, that's what you are going to watch if you were actually going to watch NASCAR race, yet somehow it does not factor into the points in the playoff system cause the qualifers for the playoffs start at a clean slate. Stupid.

7. The Point System in selecting the playoff qualified racers and selecting the overall winner is too complicated. Here's how to simplify it, 10 points for first through 1 point for tenth. There you go simple. Leading laps and qualifying first shouldn't matter. It's like if the Yankees got extra bonus points in the Standings for having the most home runs in the league or most all stars. The Finish matters that's it. The fact that the winner of a race can get less points in a week than someone who led a bunch of laps qualified first and finish decently high is moronic.

6. It is not a Sport, NASCAR is not I repeat not a Sport. I hate when people say it is. Basically to sum it up, if you do something during your daily life, and at no point do you think to yourself this is a sport, then it is not a sport. I drive a minimum of 2 hours a day, I never think to myself this is a sport, good thing I'm athletic and have endurance or I wouldn't be able to finish the drive.

5. The Viagra Car. You would think that a performance enhancing car would do well, but its driven by a limp old man. Maybe Mark Martin takes Rafael Palmeiro out on dates.

4. NASCAR Bumper Stickers. You know the ones I'm talking about, the ones that someone puts on their mini vans. First I'm not necessarily a bumper sticker guy in most cases I think they are stupid, but these are especially stupid, if you have a mini van and your advertising your love for some damn NASCAR driver and even worse if you drive like one, I hate you.

3. NASCAR methodical polluting of the minds of New Englanders. Thankfully I do not live in the south and it maitains back page status in my Sports page, but NASCAR is slowly polluting New England states, namely New Hampshire, if ever NASCAR consistently graces the front page of my local newspaper, I'm moving to England.

2. Caution flags and laps. These things are annoying, get a nice 15 second lead and then whoops out comes the caution flag and there goes your 15 second lead. Whats more exciting than watching cars drive in circles? Watching cars drive in circles at a moderate pace as some douche waves around a yellow flag.

1. It's friggin NASCAR, they drive in circles for hours, how friggin boring is that.
