why ??
can you dispute the fact mikey's a butt kisser :lol: :lol: [/QUOTE]
Butt kisser or no, just because the guy doesn't bite the hand that feeds him doesn't make him an idiot. [/quote]
I agree. There are hundreds of other things that serve that purpose effectively enough.
He's a career never-was until he gets the magic plate ride and falls into a handful of wins. He's better suited to a career in interior design, his mouth never stops moving, his brain never engages, and he dresses funny. The day I care what this goofball says, does or thinks is the day I'll be ready to be put out to pasture.

In all honesty, I can not remember the last time a saw a boring race. On th eother hand, I can say the way the network coverage is, I believe it is not hard at all to consider there broadcats as boring.
The networks assume they have an audience that is uneducated about motrosports. I would also say, the networks assume their viewing audience is incapable of ever becoming educated about the sport. They spoon feed the least common viewing denominator with the bleeps, bloops, doobly, doobly, doobly, floating buubles and bubbleheads, criss crossing pointers aiming all over the place (sometimes into the stands), etc. Since they are so busy with all their gadgets and dumbed down coverage, they falt out miss the action, in turn fail to convey the action.
So much is going on. Teams doing one thing or another to their cars. Some having success, some not. Passes occur (even for the lead) and they are either not covered and addressed or there is some childish gee wiz comment and hey quickly go off to some other non-sensical graphic.
If they could just convey what is actually happening, how things are affecting the cars and how the cars are actually doing, one would never be bored. Likewise, when you go to the track, don't just take a cooler and a set of binoculars. Bring a set of stop watches. Do your own timing. See where one car is doing well in one part of the track but maybe not so well at another. Notice the relative gain or fall off as th erun goes on. Compare all your favorites this way and be sure to include all the "arch-enemies". I swear, you will never be bored.
Thee is so much more still. Learning about the mechanics and team strategy. Not the video graphic/game way of the networks but with real nust and bolts. I swear, you will never be bored.

well said windsor,
but you know they can't show whats goin on mid pack, the only time we get to see anything going on is when one of the chosen few had a bad qualifying or pitstop and is making their way through the field. Some of the best racin i've ever seen has been for 12th to 20th place.

I've never thought of Jeff Burton as a "buttkisser".
Jeff Burton admitted he is in the minority, but Burton, who drives for Roush Racing, said he is in favor of the proposed change in NASCAR's points system, which would create a 10-race "playoff" for the championship.
"The person that does the best job still wins -- that doesn't change," Burton said. "You don't have any less of a chance of winning; you just have to go about winning differently. I think in the end it will give more people the opportunity to win.
"It's radically different but that doesn't make it wrong. I do think NASCAR has to find a way for 11th place through say 15th to get into the top 10. All in all, I think it's a good thing that will make it more of a playoff scenario which in turn will make it exciting for the fans and that's what we are all about."

I've never thought of him as one either. What he is, is a driver in need of a sponsor. What he says right now cannot be used against him. Desperate times and desperate measures and all that noise.
