BIGGEST WASTE OF TAX MONEY
NASCAR Hall of Fame
Staff Pick
Believe us, we have nothing against NASCAR or auto racing per se, although even huge NASCAR fans will tell you it’s not as exciting as it used to be. All that aside, though, you gotta admit that spending public funds on a museum honoring a sport whose fan base was waning before the Great Recession hit, and has shrunk even more since then, is not exactly a smart investment.
