A Whining Whiners Whine

Is anyone else tired of all the whining in NASCAR ? Jr. nation whines about Dale Jr. not winning a race, come on people all the wine and cheese in the world isn't going to help him win a race. Jr. fans are whining because the famed number 8 is parked, Jr. doesn't drive the 8 car any longer he drives the 88, besides it's just a number, changing his car number back to the 8 isn't going to make him win races. People whine about the top 35 rule, save your breath I don't see that rule ever changing in the near or distant future. People whine about the new car, but I think if you look at the statistics the new car is much safer, and cheaper for both owner and manufacturer.
People whine about the start and parkers, these are just under funded racers who are trying to find a way into the big show. Now people are even whining about who gets to be Grand Marshall at races. In particular shock jock Bubba The Love Sponge Clem, who has been named Grand Marshall for the up coming Talledega Nationwide race. He's a high profile radio personality who happens to promote NASCAR and racing in general big time on his show. He owns and drives a late dirt model car for his own race team, has gotten his 6 year old son involved in racing(drives quarter midgets and is one of the youngest developmental drivers for Stewart-Haas Racing). Bubba personally knows a lot of Cup and NHRA drivers and to top it off he has a mega huge fan base that includes people from all over North America, so who better to have as a Grand Marshall at Talledega?
So I guess to be a true NASCAR fan one also has to be a professional whiner, I should know, I just finished writing a blog whining about whiners
