NASCAR Cup Series awards are an event most fans wait for, and for good reason. It’s one place where fans laugh, yell, and cry at the same time. But today we focus on the ‘laugh’ element, as drivers like Kyle Busch, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon, and many more poke fun at the host.

So strap up the seatbelts of your Delorean, and set the time travel date to December 2014, as we visit the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Awards.

Jay Mohr has been a recurring host of the award ceremony. And he sure is the funny guy. A little about him, the Gary Unmarried star loves a nice roast. But this time, everything backfired as the drivers took shots at the comedian himself. And it seems like they didn’t hold back!

Kyle Busch“Hey Jay, congratulations on hosting the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Awards for the 5th time. How does it feel to finally have a recurring role?

Brad Keselowski“I really just wanna thank Jay for coming. Because I’m no longer the most hated man in the room. Thanks, Jay”

Dale Earnhardt Jr. on the other hand, didn’t even know who Jay Mohr is! He even confused him with Jay Leno. He said, “Hey Jay, forget what these other guys are saying. When I heard you were hosting I was so excited. I mean, going from the Tonight show to this, that’s fantastic.”

And then someone corrected Junior, letting him know it was not Jay Leno. He then said, “What? Not Leno? Who’s Jay Mohr?”

But wait, there’s more. Carl Edwards came in with the big guns – “I can relate to you Jay, my car has a 99 on the side of it, just like the bin in the store that has your DVDs in it.”

Did any of the NASCAR drivers have something nice to say about Jay Mohr?

Yeah, no. None of them had anything nice to say at all. However, there are even more roasts for the actor!

Aric Almirola “Jay is like a pit stop, I only wanna put it up with it for 12 seconds.”
