It seems to me to be a boring childish display anyway! I have never understood why grown men would treat their ride thataway. Specially men that have won many races.. Maybe a first timer, but EVERY WEEK?

I'm not a fan of the burnouts, either.

Well, if either of you ever win a NASCAR race, you don't have to do them.
Let the guys do what they want...they earned it.

I've always liked the "Polish Victory Lap", myself. Allows the crowd to see and salute the driver.
Victory Lane sucks for me unless it is on the start/finish line on the track. It is too far away for the ticket payers to see. It has become strictly for the media and the "hat dance" for the photogs.

No apology necessary: NASCAR says burnout was OK

NASCAR officials did not prevent Sunday's Nextel Cup Series race winner Kyle Busch from performing a burnout after his win at Phoenix International Raceway.
Immediately following Busch's win, race director David Hoots asked for the winner to report to Victory Lane and for finishers in positions two through five, and the points leader to stop on pit road. That is the same command Hoots issues over the NASCAR channel following every race.
Busch, however, said he was told by his crew chief, Alan Gustafson, that NASCAR wanted him to do directly to Victory Lane.
"I just want to apologize to all the fans for not doing my normal smoky burnouts," Busch said during an interview in Victory Lane.
NASCAR officials denied they had told Busch's team he could not perform any victory celebration.
"He could have fried the tires off," said series director John Darby.
Following his win at Atlanta in a Craftsman Truck Series race at Atlanta last month, Busch was told to go directly to Victory Lane.
However, NASCAR officials insist that decision was prompted by debris scattered all along the frontstretch following a multicar wreck on the last lap of the race.
