NASCAR Suck-Ass Driver of the Week

NASCAR Nextel Cup Driver That SUCKS This Week Week of: Oct 10-16, 2004 Jimmy Johnson "And just Why does he suck?"  Crappy Driving.  How many times did our boy spin out today?  I counted 3 including the crash that took him out.  Oh well, it was a good run for the 'Cup anyway.  Looks like Hendrick's gotta buy some luck somehow.  Oh well, at least he didn't spin out on entry to pit road or slide through his pit stall like just about everybody else did. Honorable Mentions:  Sterling Marlin - Blew up his driveline when the green flag dropped, blowing his chance for any kind of a good finish - that's gotta be some kind of a record.  Jeff Gordon - Pit crew left the trackbar adjustment wrench in the car, causing our hero a stop-n-go penalty... and NASCAR.com doesn't even mention it.  Ryan Newman - Spins out and crashes late in the race... watches his chance at the 'Cup slipping away. Thanks to all that voted. The season's winners thus far are listed below - scroll on down and check 'em out.

• The weekly winner (whiner, whatever), gets 3 points.
• There will be 3 Honorable Mentions - each receiving 1 point apiece.  Pit Crew blunders go against their drivers.
• Results will be posted NLT midnight Monday night after the race weekend.
• All votes will be considered, and some even quoted.  Constructive criticism is fine (typos, etc...) but if you use the voting form just to rag on me, don't bother.
• I will try to come up with an actual trophy for the lucky Golden Turd Award Season Champion and ship it to them (although I don't expect a glowing reception).
• The rules are subject to change without notice, but I will consult my panel of experts before posting a rule change.
