Congratulations to Tony Stewart, our 2005 Nextel Cup Champion.
I really like Tony even though he's toned down his antics as of late. I also like how in a Maxim interview he referred to most of the other NASCAR community as "the redneck mafia."
I realize that watching NASCAR can be pretty boring as most of it consists of just waiting for wrecks, but i think there is alot of interesting strategy that all you stats junkies who follow baseball would be interested in. All the different kinds of adjustments you can make to the car based on track condidtions, tire conditions, fuel efficiency, drafting, coordinating with other drivers, etc. It's a pretty in depth sport, but because it was originated by moonshine smugglers it hasn't really come across to the blue state educated elitist types.
