Get 'em while they're hot—and really sweaty

After each victory by Tony Stewart this season, he will autograph the Old Spice towel he uses in victory lane and the towel will be auctioned for charity. Old Spice wants to promote this so much that the company offered this in a news release: "An Old Spice sweat expert is available to discuss the towel auction and share other sports-related sweat factoids."

OK.

Other NASCAR items for your don't-buy list:

* Boris Said's helmet after the Brickyard 400, the hottest race of the year.

* Jeff Gordon's shoes after any race. Most fans stopped wearing kids shoes long ago.

* Michael Waltrip's trunk because he so rarely has one left after a race.

* Any driver's firesuit because we know they drink plenty of liquids and drive for at least four hours without stopping.
