Did anyone watch the awards banquet?

This is the first time in several years that I've watched it. Mostly because of the move to Las Vegas, and I wasn't disappointed. All-around, it was a good show. The comedy by Frank Caliendo and John Pinette was pretty lame except for a couple funny jokes.

Escala followed up by Brooks and Dunn were good performances. Was I the only one that felt dirty watching Escala perform in those tiny dresses? It probably didn't help with the cameras on the floor looking up at them. ;)

Mark Martin was by far the best moment of the night. He's so humble, and just and outstanding person. Johnson could win another 4 Championships in a row, and never equal Martin's level of character. Most awkward moment was Kasey Kahne's speech. It just felt robotic, and forced. I could hear the groans from the audience when he said he loved working for Richard Petty, and was proud of his team. :rolleyes:

Props to Newman for suggesting that Johnson retire, or take 5-10 years off. Which ever he's more comfortable with.

I didn't watch --- was going to, but just couldn't get interested.

Watched the SPEED Report last night --- loved Tony's line about the drivers getting together and duct-taping Jimmie to a wall.

That was a good one.

They also had a good line from Kurt Busch at the roast. He said that NASCAR is going to announce a new Chase format. When the Chase starts, all the drivers put their name in a hat, and they draw names to see which week their team would get Knaus for their crew chief.

:XXROFL:
 
I heard get well wishes for Jim Hunter mentioned several times Friday night. Does anyone know the story behind that?
