Now, NASCAR’s got itself some of the rowdiest folks behind the wheel. Some of these drivers, well, they don’t just drive fast – they got themselves a reputation for being plain old jerks. I’m here to talk about 15 NASCAR drivers who are actually jerks. Now, they ain’t just rubbing other drivers the wrong way, but fans too, let me tell ya! Let’s dive in and see who’s been stirring up trouble on the racetrack.
1. Kyle Busch
Kyle Busch, oh lord, now there’s a name! This fella’s got a mean streak on and off the track. He’s known for bumping cars out the way, making some bold moves, and don’t even get me started on his attitude in interviews. Fans either love him or hate him, mostly hate him, cause he’s always looking to pick a fight. It’s like he thinks he owns the track!

2. Brad Keselowski
Then there’s Brad Keselowski. Now, Brad, he’s got a real knack for getting under people’s skin. He’ll talk trash about others, make moves on the track that ain’t exactly friendly, and he’s even been called out by other drivers for his “jerk” ways. Brad, oh, he loves the attention, but boy, it sure does rub folks wrong.
3. Joey Logano
Joey Logano ain’t any better. Joey’s got himself a sneaky way of handling things. He’s one of those drivers who won’t hesitate to nudge a car out the way if it means getting a win. Got into plenty of dust-ups with other drivers, that’s for sure. He’s out there thinking he’s clever, but folks know him for his dirty moves.
4. Tony Stewart
Now, Tony Stewart – oh, that man’s a hothead! He’s one of the most infamous ones, if you ask me. Tony’s got a history of on-track incidents and even threw hands with other drivers more than once. They say his temper’s like a wildfire, and if something don’t go his way, he’s liable to lose it right there in front of everybody. A real handful, this one.
5. Kevin Harvick
Oh, and Kevin Harvick – let me tell ya, this guy’s got a real short fuse. He’s known for blaming his team, his car, everything but himself. Kevin’s been in plenty of scraps over the years and don’t hold back on words or actions. Folks say he’s not just a driver but a downright bully on the track.
6. Kurt Busch
Then we got Kurt Busch, Kyle’s brother – seems the jerk gene runs in the family! Kurt’s been in trouble for his attitude for years. He’ll throw a tantrum, argue with his team, and he’s been known to give the cold shoulder to fans. Not exactly the type ya wanna meet off the track, that’s for sure!
7. Jeff Gordon
Now, Jeff Gordon, he might surprise ya being on this list, but some folks say he’s got a bit of a sly side. Known for playing mind games with other drivers, he’s been in some fierce rivalries. Not everyone sees it, but those who do, well, they say he’s got a sneaky way about him on the track.

8. Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr., now here’s a fella who seems sweet, but he’s been accused of some reckless driving. He’s crashed more cars than most and don’t seem too apologetic about it. It’s like he’s out there just doin’ his own thing, not caring about who he takes down with him!
9. Denny Hamlin
Then there’s Denny Hamlin. He’s got a bit of a chip on his shoulder, they say. He’s known to throw shade at other drivers and isn’t afraid to start a feud. Denny don’t care what folks think – he’s just out there to win, but his attitude’s landed him in hot water more than once.
10. Clint Bowyer
Now, Clint Bowyer might be a fan favorite, but he’s got a habit of stirring the pot too. Clint’s been in his share of arguments and always seems ready to jump into a fight if something don’t sit right with him. Not the kind of guy to back down easily, that’s for sure.
11. Carl Edwards
Carl Edwards – he might look all friendly, but he’s known to get a bit rowdy. He’s had his share of on-track altercations and doesn’t always play nice. Carl’s known for pushing the limits, both with his car and with his rivals. Some call him competitive; others call him a jerk!
12. Danica Patrick
Oh, and then there’s Danica Patrick. She’s known for getting into heated arguments and don’t shy away from saying what’s on her mind. Danica’s got a reputation for being tough, but that toughness don’t always win folks over. Not afraid to stand up for herself, even if it means rubbing people the wrong way.
13. Ryan Newman
Ryan Newman – folks say he’s hard to work with, both on and off the track. Ryan’s got a gruff demeanor and don’t take kindly to folks telling him what to do. He’s clashed with teammates and opponents alike, showing he’s not afraid to be the “bad guy.”

14. Michael Waltrip
Now, Michael Waltrip ain’t the easiest fella to get along with either. Michael’s been accused of being a bit arrogant, and he’s got a way of rubbing folks wrong with his attitude. He’s one of those drivers that don’t mind showing off, but his ego sometimes gets him into trouble.
15. AJ Allmendinger
Last but not least, AJ Allmendinger. He’s got a bit of a rough side, they say. AJ’s been in his share of conflicts and got a bit of a short fuse too. He don’t always think before he acts, and it’s caused him some troubles on the track.
So there ya have it, the 15 NASCAR drivers who, for better or worse, made themselves known not just for driving fast but for their tough personalities and sometimes downright rude behavior. Guess you could say it takes a strong character to be in NASCAR, but some of ‘em might be takin’ it a bit too far!
