Best trophy in NASCAR

After watching the race this weekend, and seeing the saw-like trophy they gave Joey, I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread about the best trophies in NASCAR.

Based purely off of looks (i.e. not the race associated with it) what trophy would you like most to have displayed in your home?

For me, there are a lot of good choices. You can wear the Vegas belt, drink the Sonoma wine, and play the Memphis or Richmond guitar. Plus there's always the Daytona, Indy, and Cup trophies. Miles the Monster has his own trophy holding the winner's diecast car, or there's the really tacky Atlanta 500 "Bear" trophy

But overall, I think I'd have to go with the Grandfather clock they give to the winner at Martinsville. It's classy, with a long tradition, one-of-a-kind, and will last forever. That's got to be the perfect trophy for winning a long, tough race.

The Martinsville clocks are the best. The Nashville guitars (unsmashed) are second best. Seems like there is another track that has a cool trophy, but I can't think of it off the top of my head. California, Dover, Daytona 500, and Brickyard trophies are good as well.
 
I like the brickyard trophy and the kissing of the bricks that goes along with it, now if we could get a exciting race to go with the trophy :beerbang:

That would require banking in the turns, and a complete repaving. Which will never happen as long as Tony George is in charge.

It's not just the Brickyard 400 that's suffering either. The racing at the Indy 500 has been terrible for a long time too. Although that might also have something to do with the lack of talent, crap wagons, etc.

All the IRL races have been boring. The cars are so equal now that it's impossible to pass unless you get them on a restart or in the pits.

NASCAR should race at ORP.

Are you sure you're not talking about the COT? Sounds pretty similar to me.

:rolleyes:

I'd like the clock as well.
 
Not sure about a trophy but some of the showgirls that show up in victory lane at Vegas have been some nice eye candy.

Those "trophies" are presented to the winner back at the hotel.

;)
 
I think most of the drivers have their trophys before the race (on their arms) I guess if your as ugly as the busch brothers, a trophy girlfriend will do..
 
Clock because it doesn't just sit in a trophy case in some special room, you can put it out for all to see.
 
I agree with the rest of y'all. The Grandfather clock has to be my favorite cause it's really old school. The belt at Vegas is cool, but I am Kind of partial to the new trophy they have at Daytona with the rocket car on top.
 
by a country mile, the clock......... but the now discontinued 40 lb bronze Elvis statue trophy from the truck series... thats pretty cool too..... and yea, the Sam Bass designed( un-frikkin-broken) guitars are awesome too........
