If you're a NASCAR fan and you use Twitter, you really should follow @nascarcasm.

The self-described "NASCAR follower with horrible sportsmanship" consistently offers entertaining photo illustrations about stock car racing in a self-deprecating manner that honors the sport while lampooning it. The latest image takes a shot at auto racing reporters, who seem to determine the content and tone of their coverage based on the status of five-time Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson.

A phony "Jimmie Johnson Chase For The Sprint Cup Media Trajectory Meter" seeks to offer guidance. When the No. 48 Chevy is "Out Front," news stories can proclaim "Johnson and Knaus are well on their way to six straight." When the Lowe's motor coach is laps down, stories can wonder in bright red lettering, "Is the magic gone from the #48 team? Do they have what it takes to win six straight?"

Check out a photo of the meter below, thanks to SBNation.
