Ulterior motive.
“The curse spoiled ESPN’s return to NASCAR. Stewart is feuding with the network, which criticized him two weeks ago for saying he was going to drink a case of beer to celebrate his July 15 win in Chicago.”
Again, it is my opinion that NASCAR and ESPN don't belong together. ESPN is an ultra-liberal sports' network, who, over the years, has made fun of NASCAR, it's drivers and the fans.
I know they have every Busch race this year, but how long is the contract for Nextel?
