Hey DW!

GO HOME! Get in bed, take some medicine and go to sleep for a while... OR just sit there and keep your mouth shut!

I must say, good for him for working through being sick, but that raspy voice is not pleasant to listen to!

Was nice to see MD give him the old car.

I'm guessing that's why he's working even though he is sick? He must have known about a "surprise" for him, if not the specifics. Very good of Mountain Dew

To the whiners...

... Who was supposed to replace DW in the booth today.

Kevin Harvick? Jimmy Spencer?

Yeah agree. Keep your mouth shut. it is aggravating listening to him.

 

[RobbyG Fan]

DW cant ever keep his mouth shut, even when he needs to, like today.

 

[VaDirt]

Yeah agree. Keep your mouth shut. it is aggravating listening to him.

Gotta say, if one of your commentators' voice is that bad, keep him off the air. It really hurts the broadcast.

That being said, thank God for radio. Mute the TV, turn up MRN or PRN, and enjoy. I end up only listening to the post race comments, and it has really increased my enjoyment of the races this year.

 

[Ward Burton]

Yeah, I agree that he shouldn't have been in the booth today...or atleast kept quiet. He did keep quiet, but it was distracting with his voice...none the less, it's over and done with...

Doctor to DW: Try to be quiet

Fox TV analyst Darrell Waltrip, who lost his voice during last week’s race at Bristol, has been diagnosed with severely inflamed vocal cords and is under doctor’s orders to severely limit his speaking for the time being.

Waltrip, whose gravelly voice was almost painful to listen to during the Bristol telecast, saw Dr. Katherine Grant at the Vanderbilt Voice Clinic in Nashville, Tenn., on Wednesday. Grant, who has treated Charlie Daniels and other Nashville figures, basically told the irrepressible former Cup champion to keep quiet for a while.

“It took eight years, but I finally figured out a way to get more air time,” joked Waltrip’s Fox colleague and former crew chief Jeff Hammond.

Waltrip is expected to be back in the booth in time for the Martinsville race on March 30.
