Conspiracy Theories

Okay folks its time for a reality check.

NASCAR is not in evil league with Hendrick. The UN is not sending the black helicopters after us. NASCAR does not have a “TARGET” painted on Juan Pablo Montoya. The government was not responsible for 9/11. NASCAR is not engaging in a witch hunt of Mayfield.

The last few days, the blogs have been littered with half baked conspiracy theories involving NASCAR, HMS, and Montoya. Most of them aren’t thought through very well, and some have zero basis in reality.

Nobody wants to take responsibility-or place it where it belongs-anymore.

Your favorite driver doesn’t do well? It can’t be his fault! Blame NASCAR! They have to be out to get him. A Hendrick team wins again? It can’t be because of their skills or hard work. Because that would mean that they would be responsible for their own actions. No, NASCAR has to be helping them out somehow. And Juan, no he couldn’t be speeding! He was winning the race! NASCAR was up to their old tricks again.

People, if you really believe that NASCAR is doing all of this stuff, please, please, find another sport to watch and blog about. The true fans Of NASCAR are here for the competition, the racing, the sportsmanship. We are not here to rant about imagined wrongs from the evil empire. So take off the tin foil hats and talk racing.
