This past Sunday Jimmie Johnson won yet again at Dover International Speedway, home of the coolest-looking trophy in Nascar. Other than Martinsville famed grandfather clock, the rest of the Cup series’ trophies are sadly lacking in originality and local color. So here’s some BETTER trophy ideas…
California: bucket of tar
Chicagoland: bronzed Chicago-style hot dog
Darlington: a single egg on an otherwise empty plate
Daytona: replica run-down motel with boarded-up windows
Homestead: miniature billboard reading “NOWHERE NEAR SOUTH BEACH”
Kansas: dust; wind machine
Michigan: oil painting of the U.S. 500’s start
Phoenix: silver dog’s leg
Richmond: pile of cigarette butts
Talladega: “I Survived ‘Dega” commemorative t-shirt
Watkins Glen: boot nobody ever uses
Atlanta: fur coat
Charlotte: empty seat
Sonoma: chance to smash a wine bottle over the head of the driver of your choice
Kentucky: golden speed bump
Las Vegas: framed lithograph of Kurt Busch yelling
New Hampshire: magician’s hat
Texas: bbq tongs
Pocono: the pyramid from “The $25,000 Pyramid”
Indianapolis: pillow, ear plugs, sleeping pills
