Government Issues Ban on Driver Height Jokes

Cracking down on an "epidemic wave of crude humor", the US Government announced today an immediate ban on all jokes about drivers' height (more specifically, the lack thereof).
"The plight of the short driver is one that could go ignored no longer" explained government spokeswoman Sara Blanche. "Just this week, we saw Bobby Hamilton Jr. pushed to the boiling point at Nashville. This had to stop now."
The move impacts a wide variety of drivers, namely Jason Leffler, Jamie McMurray, Casey Mears, and Mark Martin. In addtion, several other vertically challenged drivers (i.e. Jeff Gordon) are protected, though they are more likely to be made fun of for other reasons.
The biggest losers in the move are expected to be unimaginative Nascar humor sights like The Outside Groove. In addtion, drivers well known for being too tall were strangely left out of the agreement, thus allowing fans to continue mocking Michael Waltrip.
Blanche concluded her speech as such: "America might be a democracy, but we recognize that Nascar is a monarchy. Thusly, we feel that the limiting of free speech was necessary to protect fans from themselves. Finally, Tiny Lund can rest in peace."
When informed that Lund was 6'5'' (and that his nickname was a joke), Blanche ended the press conference.
