NASCAR FANS PLEASE GROW UP!

I was watching a highlight of the Aaron’s 499 in Talladega where Jeff Gordon was victorious. Then, the fans began to throw whole beer bottles on the track before the race was even over. Dale Earnhardt Jr. went on the microphone to try to calm them down, but it was of no use.

Wow! Where do I begin with this one? Jeff Gordon, probably one of the best drivers in NASCAR, but also one of the most polarizing figures in the sport. Since his entrance to the sport, the NASCAR fans have been resentful of his success and his “yankee image.” He has won 4 Winston Cups, the predecessor to the Nextel Cup. He is a winner. Let’s be honest here. To all the NASCAR fans out there, Jeff Gordon is better then your favorite driver. Dale Jr. fans out there call me when he actually wins something and isn’t using his father’s name for popularity. Listen, I understand he doesn’t speak with a southern accent or shops at the Piggly Wiggly, but give me a break. I can’t imagine being at a Laker game and when Steve Nash dishes out 17 assists and we start throwing Bud Lights at him. Face it NASCAR fans, Jeff Gordon is better then all of you. He is a good looking driver who dates supermodels. You don’t find wives that look like this at Talladega.





NASCAR, please grow up. You want to be a legitimate sport. Take away people throwing bottles at your drivers especially your most popular driver outside of NASCAR. NASCAR, you are asking us to look down at you. Seeing that spectacle on Sunday makes me look at myself and say, “Yes, I am better then them.” Is that what you want NASCAR?”
