Laurel & Hardy were asked to do the entertainment and declined so as not to tarnish their reputation.

Whatever, every year is different. Nascar isn't in the business of putting on awards show's. Feel lucky you got to see it.
I remember when Stewart won the Cup and Cheryl Crow was performing and Tony was oogling her with his eye's. I thought he was going to throw her his room key or something.
Maybe it's all about Tony's facial/eye expressions. What's he gonna do at the awards this year kind of thing!?!?….Whatever.

okay, i would agree that kelly clarkson's music does not exactly fit into the nascar mold. but she did kick off the daytona 500 in february, and she did a lot of charity work with nascar this past year. that's why she performed at the awards ceremony. i think she did a great job, but i think that the drivers could have been a little more accommodating with her performance. they just kind of stared at her and yawned. jimmy johnson was the only one that was trying to appreciate her music. i felt bad for her because it must have been so uncomfortable playing to a bunch of obviously uninterested people. i fast-forwarded through david spade - wouldn't give him the time of day.

lol I read the first answer that a Kelly Clarkson fan will tune in...Well im pretty sure your not going to start going to races because a singer you like sang at the banquet at the end of the year lol. Thats like saying if Big n Rich sang at the Superbowl, maybe I will watch half time to see them sing, but im not going to be a football fan because of that lol. I think NASCAR thinks there drawing fans in by adding all this pop shit and new culture crap when all there doing is losing fans, I turned the channel when that Spade fag came on, he was horrible, Gordon and Stewart were the funniest ones on stage lol. Nascar needs to keep its Southern culture and view other wise they will have problems. I have friends in school who joke about how NASCAR is gay cuz im the only one who likes it, I told him how they put rap on the commercials and shit, and hes like what a bunch of posers. Its so gay, its getting worse and worse. Toyota is an other joke but ive gotta go now lol. Go Stewart! Go GM!

I get why they picked Clarkson from a marketing perspective and she's become a fan.
Spade was a weird choice. I just don't think of him as MC material. I've MCed award shows before (ah, the perks of radio) and I always figured they weren't really there to see me anyway, so I opened with a few one-liners and tried to let the award recipients be the focal point after that.
They could've done better for an MC. Much better. Get a real sports person up there who won't talk out his hiney.

You just have to realize that it was an award ceremony for race car drivers, not the fake people you see on T.V. shows or the movies. They could've had Oprah for an entertainer and I still would have liked it, because I wasn't watching because of David Spade or Kelly Clarkson. It was supposed to be about the drivers and their organizations. I think it's more fortunate for the people of NASCAR to get a break in the action and relieve a little tension for them. David Spade made me laugh a little and Kelly Clarkson has earned my respect for her rock-n-roll style vocals.

I actually thought some of those jokes that David Spade told were pretty funny and some of them got the crowd to laugh others were mediocre. I really liked the one he told about his mother calling and being like Britney Spears shaved her head, no way, and Lindsay Lohan has an alcohol problem and shes not even suppossed to drink…. That was pretty funny to me.. Kelly Clarkson has performed at numerous NASCAR events and is a very good singer and has some very good music. I thought that she would have sang a much newer song, then "Since You've Been Gone." Then again she looked like she had gained some weight or she was pregnant as some of my friends said, but I think it was that babydoll style shirt as I think it makes everyone look pregnant.

You are correct. It was a VERY sad state of affairs. They're not going to gain any fans from that anyway. Maybe they'll get better next year. Go Jr.>>>>
