The Simmons Situation

For about six years now, I've read every article ever written by Bill Simmons, aka The Sports Guy, of Espn.com (well, except the Celtics ones). Not surprisingly, Bill never discusses Nascar, mostly because:
a.) He's from the northeast
b.) He went to prep school (prep for what? making Karate Kid references?)
c.) He is infatuated with west-coast rap
Generally those three things, when put together, don't make a Nascar fan (all of us REAL fans are Big Daddy Kane lovers, anyways).
Today, however, The Sports Guy made a bonafide Nascar remark in his 2006 NFL preview. Observe:

"...the Redskins (invested) in two free agent receivers and an expensive offensive coordinator to go with their expensive gamebreakers, only they're going with a washed-up Mark Brunell at QB again. How does that make sense? Does Joe Gibbs do this with NASCAR, too? Does he spend a ton of money on his cars and pit crews, then find the most mediocre drivers possible?"
