Yeah. tell me about it. I remember the first time the champion got a million dollars. That was a BIG deal. Now it takes 10 million to field a start and park team. If people would get their lazy asses off thge couch and go to a local short track they would realize what racing is all about.......... Its worse thsn watching the Oscars... Who's wearing what?? Give me a Fu**in break...

I'm sorry.  This is all my fault.  I finally get "SPEEDTV" and a satellite dish and they put out this trash.

The show would have been good on video and sent to the sponsors.

Put the same crew in a fire hall, forbid cameras, and have free beer.  I'd pay to go to that party.

Actually the abbreviated Truck/Nationwide part was ok, because it was "entertainment"-free.  Todd's speech was excellent. From 9 on it was....well.....I had a nice nap.

My wife and I made it through about 20 min's of that drivel. She finally begged me to change the channel.

I was really surprised at how weak the entertainment was. All the friggin money nascar has, that was the best they could come up with, WTF?

Lastly, I totally agree, who gives a fly-ing F**K what brand of suit or gown your wearing!!!!!

Funniest part was seeing Gordon's wife tower over him. He looks about 4'-8" standing next to her LMFAO.

Come on Daytona!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was in line for a coffee at the local donut shop. They had a small makeup cataloge on the counter promoting x-mass specials.

The front cover featured a new men's calone called "Corner4XT" by Carl Edwards!

Give me a friggin break.

The only cup banquet I found even remotely entertaining was back in the early 80's.  Waltrip & Bobby Allison were fighting hard for the title.  Allison dropped out of the last race of the season with engine trouble.  They later discovered that someone had put sugar in his fuel tank.  Waltrip opened his acceptance speech with the following: "I just want to make one thing clear, I use Sweet & Low."

It seemed like everyone that spoke was taking turns trying to be comedians. Even the actual comedian wasnt funny and I usually like him. I felt awkward just watching it.

If NASCAR was smart the "champions week" would be in Charlotte, the banquet would be at the Hall of fame. For the week everybody could be involved from the race teams showing of their shops to driver's involved with the fans.  Again if NASCAR was smart and their really concerned with the fans this seems to be a no lose plan but it seems that the cities picked are where Brian was to vaction.
