Who is the most hated driver in nascar?

Question

Who is the most hated driver in nascar?

Answer 1

Kyle Busch is getting a lot of heat lately for his aggressive racing style. His brother Kurt also has a history of fans disliking him. Fans just tend to not like drivers who spin out their favorite drivers. I'm NOT pointing out Kyle in specific, I'm pointing out that NASCAR fans are so loyal to their favorite driver that they'll hate whoever SEEMED to intentionally wreck him.

(I'm not a fan of whatever driver intentionally spins someone out. I think I remember Kevin Harvick trying to spin out Paul Menard at the Milwaukee Mile one year. I'm a fan of Harvick, but I held a grudge against him for a month or two after that incident).

Answer 2

Aaron Fike

'nuff said....

....Oh yeah, and Ricky Bobby - d**n I just wanna hit that guy!!!

Answer 3

I don't think anyone "hates" any driver but Kyle sure is the one the like to boo lately and he's been subject to bashing lately also running second on that only to Jr they are the drivers everyone likes to bash on!!

Answer 4

Kyle Busch or Kurt Busch cause they are jerks

Answer 5

I don't think anyone is HATED but Kyle Busch is definitely disliked.

I remember being at the Richmond race and people were throwing stuff at Kyle during the last yellow flag, after the infamous wreck.

Anyone see the pre-show before Darlington?  FOX specifically tuned in to when Kyle Busch was announced during driver introductions... that was the most impressive booing I've ever heard...

...until the All-Star race.  Yep, most of you saw this, and when Kyle Busch walked on the well-decorated stage... you guessed it, mass booing.

And when SPEED showed Kyle Busch hitting the wall during practice, I actually heard my dad cheering in another room.

As for Jeff Gordon, I actually find myself cheering for him this year.  I always thought it would be great to see him do bad but now... it's sort of depressing.  NASCAR with no Jeff Gordon is just weird... same thing for Jimmie Johnson!

Answer 6

Hate is such a strong word.  But I do know where you're going with your question.  Right now, I would have to say Kyle Busch is the most disliked only because of the HUGE fan following that Jr has & what happened at Richmond when Kyle & Jr got together.  But I might add that Kyle gained a LOT of fans that night that are sick & tired of Jr being shoved down our throats by Nascar & the media.

If I, personally, had to choose a driver I disliked the most, it would have to be Juan Pablo Montoya.  He is not what they're trying to make him out to be in Nascar.  VERY inconsistent.  They keep changing crew chiefs when they need to change drivers.  He's less than another brick in the wall in Nascar.

Next, I would have to Jr because he has ALWAYS had the best equipment, yet can't come close to staging a championship run.  Even though he is 3rd in points this season it is because he has even BETTER equipment than he's ever had - I'm telling you, Stevie Wonder could be 3rd in points in the #88 this year so far.  I don't like the way Hendrick booted Kyle Busch (an obviously way better skilled driver than Jr) out & brought Jr in.  It made me an INSTANT fan of Kyle Busch (even though he still makes it hard to pull for him).  And the way TV will do the "in car camera" with Jr, even though he's running in 35th place.  Give me a break.

Answer 7

Dale Earnhardt, Jr. has such a large fanbase that there are probably more haters toward him than any other driver, but Kyle Busch, percentage-wise of NASCAR fans, is likely the most hated.

Answer 16

According to the peanut gallery its Kyle Busch but I Personally don't get caught up in that nonsense.

Answer 17

KYLE BUSCH IS A SCHMUK AND A REAL BIG JERK OFF!!

Answer 18

tony for sure,tubbys loves him

Answer 19

mark martin. that ol' coot just won't go away!!!  (just kidding of course).  i agree with theresa earnhardt (above) - boy i never thought i'd write that statement - and instead of "hated," i'd say the most "reviled" driver.

after reading some of the comments on here, i'd almost guess darrell waltrip, and he's been out of the car a looong time.

but at the moment, no one holds a candle to kyle busch, unless they are trying to light him on fire ;-)  kurt and jeff are still not generally liked, but the so-called "fans" don't want to waste that much beer, so they save most of it to throw at kyle (hopefully to put out those fires from the candles ;-)
