, but one race never gets mentioned, and it’s one of in the history of auto racing:. The race between was a complete farce — riddled with terrible sportsmanship and .

I’ve always felt the race was a complete sham, but not until have I found someone as passionate as I am that should be vacated or have a huge asterisk put next to it (like .” Those goddamn cheaters.)

Anyway, laid out a comprehensive minute-and-a-half-long breakdown of just why the ‘05 Cup is a load of bullshit.

Fuck this guy.

“The 2005 Piston Cup Final is the most corrupt event in sporting history,” he said right off the bat. It’s a strong start, but it’s also a very strong argument he’s about to make. He asserts that at “every single turn” the made dumb decisions that all — for the most part — seem to benefit Chick Hicks. Collusion or ineptitude? Hard to tell. Bayleyistrying asserts that there are five different times throughout the race where Hicks tries to literally kill and The King. How that doesn’t lead to a disqualification is beyond me.

Though to be fair, did benefit from stewards turning a blind eye as well. When he rejoins the race after pitting, he is well behind the safety car, but he speeds up at the end of to pass it. Dangerous move, .

Even with this transgression, the race was clearly to win, but he learned a whole bunch of important lessons from his buddies in and stopped short of the finish line. At least, that’s one theory. Bayleistrying says actually did this “so everyone would know how shitty the officiating is.”

“A classy move by , but not something that shouldn’t have had to happen in any other sport,” he said in the video.

To make matters worse for the there wasn’t even a review done after the race to make sure everything was kosher (which it wasn’t). This sort of is just inexcusable if you ask me.

“Chick Hicks is now a Piston Cup Winner — sullying the name of the Piston Cup,” he said.

Bayleistrying also wonders where Hicks was on , and it’s a good question. He has the mustache and attitude of an insurrectionist.

“The fact that Chick Hicks is allowed to parade himself as a Piston Cup champion after 18 years of clear evidence that he completely cheated — it is astounding to me that a sport that wants to be taken seriously in this world cannot for a second consider that they might have been in the wrong,” Bayleistrying said to end .
