, 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.
“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.

“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 .
