I'm a huge NASCAR fan. Sincerely. I just enjoy the hell out of it. I've given up trying to explain it.
But for all the tremendous strides the Winston Cup racing circuit has made, with the rebirth of the sport due to younger, more telegenic drivers who hail from all across the U.S. (not just the Deep South), this fucking trophy awarded to Bobby Labonte after today's race at the Atlanta Motor Speedway set the image of the sport back about 40 years.
What the fuck?
Do they give out race cars to guys who win Bassmaster tournaments?
No. No, they do not.
That is the ugliest fucking thing I have ever seen in my life. Even Labonte's face in that photos seems to suggest, "I drove 325 laps at 185 mph for this???"
