Is nascar becoming full of spoiled brats?

Question

drivers who have no clue how much hard work goes in to what they drive and are just spoonfed from childhood. it seems like nascar is becoming a country club.

Answer 1

Yes.  It's like the Busch race use to be.

Answer 2

HEYYELL YES,both drivers and fans

Answer 3

Most drivers are not spoonfed, very few are.  Usually their parents give up everything they have to help their child race, even mortgaging their house multiple times to let their child live out his dreams.

As far as the people in Yahoo Answers, it's pretty silly how some of these people act actually.

Answer 4

Here's the worst one

Answer 5

ask your friend - mr. trickle.

Answer 6

They normaly go to the skybox

Answer 7

No, just spoiled brats in the NASCAR section. We have some trolls that got new profiles, or just some new trolls.

Answer 8

Some of them are thats for sure.

Answer 9

It definitely looks that way. There are a few drivers that haven't become spoiled, yet. I guess when a 20 year old kid doesn't have to hold down a real job and he still makes 8 million dollars a year, it's hard to not get spoiled. A few months ago I heard Jeff Burton whining about not having time off. This guy only works 3 to 4 days a week and makes a bunch of money for doing it. Listening to him complain about not having time off makes me want to puke.

Answer 10

Matty is not a spoiled brat and yes i did report you but i rather not think about touching Danica's boob

Answer 11

You're right. There are quiet a few spoiled brats driving in NASCAR today.  Give them a few years though. A prime Example: Kevin Harvick a few years back got soo mad at Ricky Rudd at Richmond that he took his car after the race & slamed into the passenger side of Rudds car on pit road. He left his car parked there & then got out & walked across the hood of Rudds car.

Today or yesterday, Harvick even said that his 1st reaction was to slam on his brakes infront of someone who pisses him off. But he doesn't because he now realizes the amount of time, money, & effort that goes into building the cars. Harvick has grown alot in this sport from where he started. I expect that more will, as well. Just give them time.

Now as far as reporting people goes. I believe that everyone has a right to their opinion. It may not always be right in my eyes or coinside with my opinion. But mine doesn't always agree with theirs either. However, I have reported a grand total of 1 person on Y/A. And it was for a response they gave to a question.  Their response was offensive & completely uncalled for. And I have worked in a truck stop, on 3rd shift, for over 4 years. So as you can imagine, it takes alot to offend me. But they did. So yes I reported them.

I do not however use Y/A as a popularity contest. Some, I believe, do, but I am not one of them. I have never done or said anything in a race to win friends. And if people don't like me because of my opinions then so be it. Because I know that you will never find someone whom agrees with 100% of everything you say. As I said, everyone has opinions & they are not all the same. That's what's soo great about the world.

Answer 12

I can tell you I do very little reporting (only people impersonating a driver or being slanderous).  So little that the person's answer I reported today (first one in a month or so) is still there.  And, the CUT and PASTED my exact answer!  It is 2 paragraphs, so you can tell it was cut and pasted.

But, apparently, I don't report enough to matter.  

Anyway, if you were reported, I promise it wasn't me!

Answer 13

Yes.  Too many of them feel entitled...And three of them work for Gibbs...Stewart being the exception.  He's actually earned his success.  

I've had three questions deleted...all about Kyle Busch running into the wall (Saturday night)...who are the immature fans?  Hmmm.

Answer 14

YES!! All of these young guys are coming in and no doubt they have talent but they definitely have a snse of entitlement...Like it's their God given right to win the race and if they don't they p**s, moan, and make excuses. No one pays their dues anymore and very few of the guys know anything about the work that actually goes into preparing the race car or fixing it when the driver crashes it...Very few of these new guys had to work for their success and it shows...IMHO that is one of the major turnoffs for the sport and why I am not as attracted to NASCAR as I once was.

Answer 15

the only drivers that I can think of as being spoiled brats are earnhardt jr and gordon.
