DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- The start of the NASCAR season kicked off this week during qualifying for next Sunday's Daytona 500 and USA Today's For the Win discovered that the big sporting event couldn't come without controversy.
Fans went onto Twitter to complain about the outfits worn by the spokesmodels for the Daytona 500's new sponsor, Monster Energy. The outrage spanned from mild disappointment to full on rage for what the women wore down on Victory Lane.
For the Win published the best of the complaints:
People are complaining the Monster Energy girls in Victory Lane "dress inappropriately". The bible belt needs to be wrapped around necks.

Ya @NASCAR & @MonsterEnergy need to rethink those uniforms for the Monster Energy Girls if they don't want naughty jokes.

I don't like the monster girls, at least put them in fire suits

Monster girls should be last year's Sprint girls, and should be wearing fire suits, not inappropriate outfits.... @MonsterEnergy @NASCAR
