Because NASCAR is only popular in redneck East TN. Not a national "sport" that is popular across most of the south. Guess that one Sunday that he spends away from Knoxville means that the team is doomed and he is already a failure. Love the VOLS, some of you are idiots.
P.S. not a NASCAR fan at all, only because I hate left hand turns, not because its boring
Perhaps a Metrosexual such as yourself should become a USCW fan. Personally I like the Tennessee lifestyle and most of the people. Well some of the people.
