Who is the least popular driver in NASCAR?

Question

?

Answer 1

Surpsingly enough, it isn't Kyle Busch. He's actually got a fair amount of fans. I'd say Scott Riggs. Not that people hate him, but no one is a fan of him.  

Answer 2

Based on fan reaction at introductions at the allstar race and personal observations. I would say Jimmy Johnson. I never understood it in a way. He is a clean driver and a nice guy. On the other hand my friends say he never payed is dues and has won two bogus championships.

Answer 3

J.P.M

Answer 4

Kahne

Answer 5

Have  you ever noticed that some of the drivers don't have any merchandise out?  I mean, even J. Sauter has some shirts out there.  I think the least popular are the ones who get no love, like Travis Kvapil... :)

Answer 6

I'll go with JPM. He crashed right in front of where I was sitting at Richmond and everyone cheered.  

Answer 7

Depends on what you classify as "least popular"... Is it the least liked driver? Is it the driver that simply no one cares one way or the other about?

The least liked right now would have to be Kyle Busch. Up until this year, it has always been Jeff Gordon.

As far as drivers that people just dont seem to have an opinion on one way or the other... That would be drivers like Tony Raines, Scott Riggs, Regan Smith, and a couple others...

Answer 9

KYLE BUSCH hands down  

Answer 10

Paul Menard

Answer 11

I would have to say the least popular is my favorite. People ask me who my favorite driver is and I'll answer Mayfield and they will have that confused look on their face and ask WHY????

Answer 12

According to the fans at Bristol, who went nuts when Edwards spun Shrub, I would say Shrub is even if he is pretty good.

Answer 13

That creepy guy that drives the #17 car and has that hag of a wife, Matt Kenseth!!! J/K!!

Gotcha ya! I would venture a guess of Regan Smith or David Gilliland. You wont find a souviner trailer of them at a race or at least I havent.

Answer 14

Montoya doesn't seem to get much love.  I like him, though.  :  )

Answer 15

Juan Pueblo Montoya and Kyle Bush

Along with Jeff Gordon. However, he's getting a little better since he started a family.

Answer 16

Juan he deserves it!

Answer 17

Montoya

Answer 18

judging from Saturday, it might be Kyle Busch although he is one heck of a driver.

The crowd sure went nuts when Carl spun him out  

Answer 19

While Kyle is the one that folks love to hate, I would say more may dislike Montoya

Answer 20

Regan Smith, poor guy doesn't receive enough credit.

Answer 21

yeah I have to agree with David Gilliland for sure.

Answer 22

Hard to say, least popular or dislike?? All drivers have their plus and minus but if i would have to pick would say Montoya, not that i dislike him so much, he just has a crappy crew and team; he needs a better shot and hopefully can get it when his contract ends with Ganassi..sorry but just an opinion

You can understand his frustration and what seems to be arrogance but what it really is Disappointment, he CAN do better with the "right stuff"

Answer 23

I never see anyone with a Michael McDowell shirt on so that would be my guess.

Answer 24

Matt Kenseth. Kidding.

I think it would depend on the week kind of.

You don't see many Almirola fans.

Answer 25

Johnny Sauter.  Ever heard of him?  Me neither until I found him on the roster of Sprint Cup racers on sites like NASCAR.com and Yahoo Sports NASCAR.com.  The announcers don't even talk about him except to mention what his starting position at the beginning of the race.  He never wins and rarely places in the top 20.  You never see any NASCAR products with his name or number on them.  That's pretty unpopular if you ask me.  I don't see how he keeps sponsors.

Answer 26

Ryan Newman...can't stand the dude.
