NASCAR's most disliked driver?
Wednesday, Feb. 08, 2012
The results of a Forbes poll of America's Most Disliked Athletes includes one NASCAR driver: Kurt Busch at No. 10.
NFL quarterback Michael Vick and golfer Tiger Woods tied at the top spot in the poll. About 60 percent of respondents disliked Vick, but more people expressed a strong dislike for Vick compared with Woods.
The survey was conducted by Nielsen and E-Poll Market Research. Scores were derived from the total percentage of fans whose views of athletes was "dislike, "dislike a lot" or "dislike somewhat."
The field is limited to those registering at least 10 percent awareness with the general public.
Busch's score came in at 42 percent.
Since Busch was the only NASCAR driver to crack the poll, he unofficially picks up the title of NASCAR's most disliked driver. At least for the time being.
