In the NASCAR hate list, Kyle Busch is unquestionably #1 right now, and right behind him is Juan Pablo Montoya. For the most part, this is due to their overly aggressive driving styles and less than winning personalities (and in the case of JPM, possibly his nationality). This all came to a head with JPM got mad at Busch about something, and responded the way reasonable men do, by wrecking Busch.



Normally, the offending driver talks about it was "unfortunate," thanks his sponsors, and talks about getting ready for next week. Did Montoya? Nope, he admitted it was intentional.

"We always give each other lots of room," Montoya said of Busch. "But he went wide like I wasn't there. Then I got beside him and he started banging me like he was trying to wreck me. I looked at him like, 'What are you doing?' " Montoya had no problem admitting he deliberately ran into Busch's car. "Yeah. I did what he did to me," Montoya said. "I don't appreciate people who race me like that. There's a fine line and he crossed it."

While I'm sure many are happy this happened to Kyle Busch, it's obvious you can't do what Montoya did, using your car as a weapon like that. He was rightfully assessed a 2 lap penalty during this race, and if NASCAR decided to park him for a race or two, I wouldn't argue.

That might be the safest thing for JPM and the rest of the field, since next week is Daytona, a bad place for someone to get revenge.

Have you ever watched an NHRA or NASCAR race and thought, "Man, this is awesome, but I really wish I could receive some sort of sexual stimulation and/or have my bowels loosen while I watch this?"

Have no fear, the ButtKicker is on its way!

What is the ButtKicker, you ask? The ButtKicker is a device that you can attach to your chair or couch, and as you sit on your lazy ass watching a sporting event, it will actually vibrate based on some cue from that event.

This weekend, a test run of the device will be done by NHRA driver Jeg Coughlin Jr., who will have a special sensor installed on his car to transmit vibrations when he hits the gas.

Assuming all is successful, you'll soon be able to subscribe to an add-on to NHRA and NASCAR coverage that will deliver this vibration to your home.

If this idea takes off, look for this technology to find its way into other sports coverage. Here are a few potential uses:

• Gives you a painful shock to the nuts whenever a pitch bounces in the dirt & does the same to the catcher
• Vibrates whenever Brett Favre is on screen (John Madden Edition)
• Throws you off the couch whenever a soccer or basketball player flops
  
• Vibrates every time John Kruk farts on Baseball Tonight
• Snores gently whenever you watch a WNBA game

Technology - making your ass vibrate since 1879!
