Kyle Busch winning 21 races: admittedly I'm no KB fan but realistically he should be driver of the year

10 fields set by points

TV contracts

Changing the rules mid-season

Forcing a California start (see TV contracts)

The worse Brickyard ever!

Goodyear: Thinking they can get away with using the "same" tire on a car that's heavier and exerts more load.

NASCAR censoring drivers about the "CAR"

Politicians stumpping at NASCAR events

Cheaters not being parked

Green, White, Checkerd.
It usually makes for an exciting finish, but I wish they had more than 3 laps, Maybe 6. Even if it was a boring race up until GWC, it would give fans the chance to say,  "Man, did you see the last 6 laps?" And MEAN it!

The JJ caution??  I would call it the JR caution!!  LOL  I counted so many times this year that they threw a mystery caution just seconds before JR was about to get lapped.  I hated all the rainouts for qualifying for sure.  I hated the way that the Chase took away Kyle Busch's amazing season in just 1 race.  Something has to be done about that.

Still using the chase.

Still using the lame lucky dog.

Toyota gets their first win... and another, and another.

Having to admit that Shrub can drive.

Another great finish marred by a last lap controversy, this time at 'Dega.  Tear up the apron and put the grass back, then if anyone runs out of bounds and doesn't wreck they've earned the positions they gained.

Bad TV announcers.  I still miss Benny Parsons, on so many levels. 

Networks ping-ponging the end of races to different channels.

Freakin' Gopher cam.  Enough already.

Talented but plain vanilla champ again.

Cars with no ties to production vehicles and little visual differentiation between them.

No reason to be racing any place but Darlington on Labor Day weekend.

Still racing twice a year at several tracks that don't merit two races.

DJ's time behind the wheel ending on a down note.

Wood Brothers struggling.
