(satirical)

Dale Earnhardt Jr. is not the most popular driver in Las Vegas; this town belongs to Kyle Busch! 

Starting Monday, several Las Vegas radio stations are kicking off the first annual, officially sanctioned, "Boo Jr." Campaign.  The goal is to give NASCAR's most popular driver and arch enemy of local favorite Kyle Busch, the first ever "boos" of his life.  

Mickey "Horseshoe" Mac, a local promoter, was quoted as saying, "We are not so easily taken by that good ole' southern redneck charm. We are definitely not taken by a last name! In Las Vegas you either win or it costs you." 

"Everyone around here agrees that nobody performs better on the track than his 'Rowdyness.'  Las Vegas is definitely a big, big city with a large population and a small town feel.  "We protect our own." 

In the last couple of years, their own have been needlessly wrecked and attacked by Dale Jr. and his nation, for no other reason than the fact that he has real driving talent.  "It's time to fight back" was heard over the airwaves this morning.

The campaign will encourage fans to come out to the track and "boo" the most overrated driver.  The radio stations are planning to give out hundreds of tickets and prizes to those who promise to offer up their boos to the Junior Nation. 

Las Vegas is a class act and although they may give the No.88 Chevy its first ever harmless boos, one thing's certain, Jr. won't get the barrage of beer cans that are reserved for Kyle when he wins.  "Kyle gets a lot of beer thrown at him."

Here is to the success of the first ever "Boo Jr." show.
