"I think the burnouts are if not the dumbest for sure one of the dumbest things I've seen.You go out & abuse your motor & tires so the fans can say wow he really smoked the tires, & laugh if you scatter a $10,000 or more motor & or ruin two expensive tires.When I was a lot younger I had a car owner who was more like my dad, than anything else, if I had pulled anything like that, I would have to replace the tires out of my pocket, & if the motor blew I would be responsible for rebuilding it at my cost.You don't see guy's like Mark Martin,Terry Labonte or any of the old school drivers doing it. Granted they don't get the chance too often though.Still it's all show that I can do with out.I think it's silly & abusing the car for nothing."
I agree, they are a stupid abuse of equipment and if NASCAR won't penalize the perpetrators, maybe team owners should fine or fire any driver who abuses a car like that. Whadya say?
