Ward Communication Problem: #22-Ward Burton, who speaks with a slow Virginia drawl, and his new crew chief Frankie Stoddard, a fast-talking New Hampshire native, have become quite the odd couple during their first few races together. Communication during races seems to be somewhat of a problem. Twice during the early laps of the Old Dominion 500, Burton didn't come into the pits even though Stoddard and the crew were expecting him. "I couldn't understand a thing Frankie was saying," Burton said. "And I can't understand [car owner] Bill Davis either." Burton, who finished fifth, said the problem isn't the accents. "My hearing from shooting so much as a kid without ear plugs is shot," Burton said. "I've got to get the volume up on my radio
 
LOL Zoe, caaaan y'all type a little slower?

I'm from New england, so I speak many languages:p Like pak tha ca in Havad yad:p and Bastun

AND southern speak, and french and spanish
 
It's pretty funny, I'm not making fun of how either of them speak, just the different english dialects there are. Hopefully they can get things straightened out and all will be well for the #22 team.
 
Well then, I'll make fun of how both of them talk!

I could listen to Ward read the phone book. That drawl slays me.

Frankie...God love him, I can't understand a damn thing he says. When I heard he was going to the 22 team, my first thought was, "I wanna hear those conversations." How can the team possibly get anything done in the shop for laughing at those 2 and trying to translate? :p
 
I think Ward and Frankie should have their own reality show. :D
 
Ward Burton says he just needs his earphone turned up. I don't think that's going to do much good unless Frank slows down his speech a bit for Ward. I don't see this lasting all next season...
 
I don't see why it wouldn't. All kidding aside, they are both professionals, both driven to succeed, both top notch at what they do. Frankie has something to prove to Roush. Ward has something to prove to the racing world in general. I think they'll be a tough team next year.

Bill Davis is getting tired of being an also-ran. Bringing Stahhhhdahhhd on board is all the proof I need that he is ready to kick some sitters in the near future.
 
All kidding aside, I could see the language barrier between these two being a real problem. Communication is key in this business, and little things like that could work against them. It will be interesting to see what happens.
 
They can find a way to work through all this, Ward has the best accent though:)
 
I love the way both of them talk. All it takes is some time to understand what they are saying especially Ward.

I could see this being a big problem if they don't try harder to get used to each other's accents. It will just take some time, I never used to be able to understand Ward and now I can understand him almost as well as one person can understand Ward. But the conversations between them have to be hilarious.
 
Well, I hope it lasts at least long enough for me to go to another race and listen to them on the scanner. I won't be able to understand any of it, but it'll be good for a chuckle, I know that much. The hilarity that must ensue...

Hey RD8, Glad you showed up. Yet another board for us to talk at and destroy with our ramblings. The plans are working out quite nicely. :lol2:

I can just picture the radio conversations and I feel for anyone trying to decipher them. Good for the team if they are trying out different strageties and other teams are trying to hear what they are talking about.
 
Yes, I have arrived. I hope these people are ready for the Terrifying Trio. ;) LOL

The Terrifying Trio :FIREdevil . Is that our cool nickname?
I was going with The 3 Evil B*tcas or something. But Terrifying Trio is better for those who don't want cuss words around.

I don't think anyone could be prepared for us. :lol2:
 
Well, that's what Kitie says we are, so I thought I'd go with it. It works. :D And yeah, there's no swearing, so it works for everyone. hehe

Really off to bed now. Before my cat drives me nuts. LOL

Cassie
 
Well, the Terrifying Trio has a good ring to it and describes us perfectly so I am all for it.

I can't be driven anymore nuts than I already am. LOL. It helps when people want to drive me nuts.
