Some sports have more recognizable trophies. Others have more tradition-filled trophies. But when it comes to wacky trophies, nobody can beat NASCAR.

<b>7. Elvis Trophy, Memphis Motorsports Park</b>- The winner of the Craftsman Truck Series race can call himself The King for one night…even if he is only the king of washed-up has-beens and young-guys-not-ready-for-the-Busch Series.

<b>6. Championship Belt, Las Vegas Motor Speedway</b>- Why should wrestlers in purple spandex and punch-drunk boxers be the only people allowed to wear gaudy belts? It's about time short white guys covered in ads got their own oversized accessory.

<b>5. Gibson Guitar, Nashville Superspeedway</b>- Busch Series drivers who win in Nashville take home this Sam Bass-designed Gibson Les Paulguitar. It's an actual working guitar so the driver can now fulfill all requests to "play some Skinner!"

<b>4. Giant Animals, Atlanta Motor Speedway</b>- The winner of the Bass Pro Shops 400 goes home with a giant statue of wildlife every year. From leaping bass to soaring eagles to lumbering bears, this behemoth can totally beat up that circle-of-flags thing baseball champions win.

<b>2. Grandfather Clock, Martinsville Speedway</b>- The most unique (and useful) trophy on the circuit is given to the driver who survives the beating and banging on Martinville's paper clip oval.

<b>1. Concrete Monster, Dover International Speedway</b>- Is it a Voltron enemy? Or a NASCAR trophy? Does it matter?
