Well I’ve decided to create my own contest, and I need your help. Together, we’re going to decide who NASCAR’s Least Popular Driver is!

It’s simple, just vote for your least favorite NASCAR driver(or drivers) by using the poll below, or on the right hand of your screen. You can vote for multiple drivers, and you can vote multiple times. Voting concludes following the announcement of NASCAR’s Most Popular Driver.

The winner of the Least Popular Driver award gets an imaginary trophy, a special mention on this semi-popular NASCAR blog, a pat on the back for a job-well-done, and the right to declare himself the Least Popular Driver in NASCAR during the entire 2011 season!

Sound like fun? What are you waiting for? Start voting! And spread the word to your friends about Stock Car Spin’s Least Popular Driver contest!

Alright, so I’m exaggerating. The banks are open in Pittsburgh(those that are still around, anyway) and the kids had to go to school. But it really is Chip Ganassi Day.

The NASCAR team owner earned the honor today as the Pittsburgh City Council proclaimed that today be named for Ganassi, in light of his historical NASCAR accomplishments this year. Ganassi became the first car owner to win racing’s “triple crown”, taking NASCAR’s Daytona 500 and Brickyard 400, along with Indycar’s Indianapolis 500.

Happy Chip Ganassi Day, everybody!

Want a day named after you in your hometown? It’s easy. Just go out and make some historical achievement in the world of sports. If you want a National holiday named after you, however, you’ll have to do something a little more drastic. Such as become America’s first president or lead a Civil Rights movement.*

*WARNING: Doing the latter may get you badly hurt or ridiculed; especially if you do it at a NASCAR track.
