The 10 Worst Ideas in Nascar of the Past 16 Years

PART I

Fresh off a night of watching ESPN Classic, here's another chance to rip off the 4 letter word—the worst things Nascar has presented to us over the past 16 years. Note that no drivers are included, as making fun of drivers is something only a vengeful nerd like me would do. Oh, and why 16 years? It's the Morgan Shepherd Era…DUH!

10. Nascar Illustrated--If Nascar Scene is the Washington Post of the sport, then Nascar Illustrated is the Washington Times--its there, it has some good stuff, but on the whole, its just taking up space. Bonus points for updates on races that happened 4 weeks ago.

9. The Busch Clash/Budweiser Shootout/Bud Shootout--Besides money, there's not much of a reason for this race to exist. I wish they'd tell the truth, but I don't think we're gonna see the Bud Glorified Testing Session very soon.

8. Lame Nascar Humor Websites--They're so whiny and derivative--and talk about repetitive! At least the writers are attractive.

7. ESPN and Nascar team up to bring us…Craig T. Nelson?--For Nascar's 50 year anniversary (aka The Cash Grab) ESPN did a nice series of documentaries on the sport's history. However, they were ALL narrated by TV's Coach, Craig T. Nelson, who last time I checked had NOTHING to do with Nascar.

6. "Pit Bull"--As annoying as the 90 minute Inside Nextel Cup is, I'd still take it over 4 non-drivers complaining about why the sport is so successful.
