2008 OPeR Award: Worst Race of the Year

December 18, 2008

This had to be the easiest winner- or loser - to pick this year. The 2008 Allstate 400 at the Brickyard was a joke. The attempts by NASCAR and Goodyear to shed blame for the gutting of one of the biggest events of the season nearly earned this race a second OPer - the “Worst Junior High School-like Moment” - but we decided against redundancy.   Here’s hoping that Goodyear and NASCAR do the same when they pick a tire for the next race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
