As the season draws to a close, the obligatory year-end threads are upon us. In an attempt to step aside from the nostalgic look-back on the 2013 season, I'd like to get everybody's blood boiling by having you talking about your least favorite driver/team.

I'll get the ball rolling. I absolutely abhor Denny Hamlin. He's a pompous, self-righteous douche who thinks he's a gangster thug homie-G. He has a punchable face and a very unlikable personality. How anybody could possibly root for him is beyond me.

Your turn :D
 
Greg Biffle is the only driver I hate. Everybody else I am indifferent on or like.
 
Harvick and both Busch brothers, although I have to admit that I am starting to like Kyle B better. Also, I would put Danica on that list. I've thought she was an overrated whiner ever since she was still in Indycar.
 
I hate Kyle Busch, I love the respect he gives the kids that can keep up with him but he is such a fking dickwad. I try to hate the 48 but he's such a gotdamn pro all the time. I used to hate Kurt Busch but I realized the media loves to spin **** and I began to realize what a wheel man he really is.. I'm sure next time he turns the 24 for no reason I'll despise him for a period of time again.. Same with Kenseth.
 
I basically dislike the majority of drivers who act excessively ****y/douchey. I really don't like Matt Kenseth at all but I wouldn't say that I hate him (or anything even remotely close to that.) It's hard for me to hate somebody who is as humble and bland as somebody like Matt, but it's those characteristics that make me not like him in the first place.

The ONLY reason I dislike Kenseth is because of a couple scuffles with my driver. He really doesn't belong on the list other than that. He's definitely a class act otherwise.
 
One of the things about getting older is losing certain abilities. I just cant hate like I used to, I need some hatatra. I miss it terribly.
I used to laugh and enjoy a certain drivers misfortunes, then he died (not talking about Earnhardt). In another case the driver had a carreer ending injury.

I can't even hate the incessant clownmanship of Micheal Waltrip anymore, losing the ability is the loss of a great pleasure. So enjoy the hate while you are young, life is short. All I can do these days is fake the hate, and dream of yesterday when I was young.

Well I am still able to hate the cheap phantom cautions, Brenda Gaughn, Moodys hysterical race announcing, the zipped up Sprint cup trophy girls total coverage ( as in ankles covered and non exposed like good Taliban girls). I can still hate bad musicians too and hope they burn in hell, so all isnt lost......I still have it :)
 
Hate is such a nasty word. I like most of the drivers, except Kurt Busch. As a driver, he is a top shelf, as a person, he needs some help.
 
I don't hate any of them, but the only drivers I really don't care for are Gordon and Harvick. I can at least tolerate everybody else.
 
I don't really care for Kyle Busch. I mean here's a driver who undeniably has talent behind the wheel, he can race and he can win. However I think his biggest problem is 1) Running in too many races instead of focusing on Sprint Cup and 2) Unless he has a perfect car going into the weekend, he complains about the car the entire time and doesn't put up as good of a performance.

Yep. Somebody on here recommended watching the documentary Kurt Busch: The Outlaw a while back. Was it you? Ever since I saw it earlier this year, my opinion of Kurt has changed completely. Mind you, he was one of my favorites for the longest time and I just kinda gradually distanced from him, but the documentary really altered my perspective. It's easy to look at a situation from the outside and be like "oh, this driver is a jerk, idiot, whiner, etc." But seeing as how most of us don't get to see the full picture and deal with these guys (and gals) on a daily basis, we have no clue how any of them really are.

As far as who I love to hate, I mentioned Hamlin and Gordon in another thread. In Hamlin's case it really is a love to hate thing, and Gordon just made what I felt was a major misstep last year that irritated me. I've said this before, but I'm like Greg these days in that I've learned to take a step back from this stuff and just look at it as entertainment for the most part. I don't let all the crazy things these guys say and do bother me anymore. Don't get me wrong, I'm obviously very passionate about racing, but at the end of the day it's just that - racing.
 
There's also Clint Bowyer, and I'm sorry to put him on the list. Honestly I used to love his ADD fueled interviews and seeing how I'm also a person of ADD, he's somewhat relatable. However, my opinion of him took a nosedive after Richmond this year. I'm probably being over-dramatic, but there it is.

I've seen this. It completely changed my view of Kurt and made me realize that he's not even close to how he's portrayed in the media. Sure, he has a temper inside the car, but so what? He seems like a genuinely good guy who has made some bad decisions. I'm very happy that he'll be back in a top-tier ride next season.

That being said, I'm sure all drivers are pretty good people "off-camera." I'm sure Denny Hamlin is a swell fellow off the track and whatnot, so I shouldn't really say that I hate him...I just dislike his on-track persona :D
 
What Greg said X 2. I disliked Cale yarborough a long time ago because he kept hitting Bobby Allison in the fist with his face. But I came to respect Cale as a great wheel man. I was never a big E fan because I was an Awesome Bill guy.Then Davey . I did at one time hate Robert Pressley simply because I was a Jack Ingram fan ( I was like 12). Life is short and I ain't young anymore.

So I will go with the French Dude in Talledega Nights. And Miss Sprint Cup All covered up(Thanks Greg) Hate that!!;)

Big fan of the iron man too, those brown 11s were great, good times.
Glad to see Jack make the HoF he is worthy.
 
Strongly dislike Kyle Boosh. Moderately dislike Kevin Harvick.
 
I dont hate any of the drivers, after all they put their lives on the line to entertain us. Dont much care for Harvick, Kenseth, or Hamlin though.
 
I dont hate but dislike Edwards. I hate the flip and just the Opie Taylor attitude.
 
Tony Stewart got it right about Edwards he called him Eddie Haskell a complete phoney! I think the back flip is girly
 
I've never really liked Carl Edwards a whole lot...

I used to dislike Kurt Busch. Now I root for him. I can't stand Kyle. I used to think his "bad boy" routine was just an act, that he was playing the image because it's what fans like. Nope, that's just Kyle.

He aint pretending Andy, he is a bad ass :)
 
Carl and Joey are the only two drivers that I actively root against. No idea why. Honestly can't put my finger on anything, other than "I just don't like the looks of 'em."
 
I love the fact that Nascar drivers can still arouse love and hate in todays fans . Nascar needs to promote this. It's about passion for Nascar.It's what racing is all about.
