nascar.com is running a poll on who is everyone's favorite former driver-turned TV analyst. DW is winning by a huge margin. Boogity, boogity, boogity.

The poll's BS.

Which former driver is your favorite current TV analyst?
Dale Jarrett
Jimmy Spencer
Rusty Wallace
Darrell Waltrip

Why's Jimmy on there? :confused: He only does RaceDay.

The only driver commentators are DW, DJ, KP and Wally. Spencer and Wallace don't belong in this poll.

I call bs on the whole thing. :bsflag:

I vote for Kyle, btw.
 
Id vote for Rusty Wallace.. he seems to know what hes talking about and hes not so hyper as DW.. more my type.. nice and mellow!!!
 
Where'd ned Jarret on that list? Don't tell me we're limiting it to just the last 6 years.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! :XXROFL:

Thanks dude, I needed the laugh. :beerbang:
 
I'd vote for Dale Jarrett. DW is annoying and my husband rolls his eyes and cringes everytime he says, "Boggity, boggity...!" Rusty Wallace was terrible last season. It's why he got pulled from cup races this year (supposedly). He couldn't hide his blatant favortism as well as who he couldn't stand. He also said some of the lamest things ever. I used to check the ESPN website and there were complaints about him every single week.

I think DJ is doing a nice job. He tends to keep his cool and has something interesting to add. Kyle's not bad either, but he's not on the list. I think Kyle is much better in the booth than he is on the track. Just sayin'. :)
 
Well the question was..."Which former driver is "YOUR" favorite current TV analyst?"..I did watch it and I liked Rusty Wallace...as a driver and a TV analyst...But im sure thats wrong in your opinion because from what ive seen you disagree with pretty much everyone no matter what their opinion is. I must not be the only one that likes Rusty or he wouldnt be on the list now would he????

Pay no attention to Andy. He hates everything about ESPN and NASCAR. Most negative guy on the net. :rolleyes:

As for me, I really like Wally Dallenbach. He never seems to sing the tune of NASCAR and talks more like a current driver unplugged.

I forgot about Wally. I really like him too.
 
He's no former driver but he is a former crew chief. JEFF HAMMOND

He has a book out called "Real Men Work In The Pits".. has anyone read it????
 
I have the book but haven't read it yet. I also have a t-shirt with him in a cowboy hat on it.
 
Like DW OK, Like Dale OK Rusty, not so much and only heard Kyle once and at the prelude. Duane
 
From the book Real Men Work in the Pits

We went down to Lancaster, South Carolina, and picked up a ’56
Ford that was painted school-bus yellow with the number “54” on it.
We joked about Car 54, Where Are You? which was the big television
comedy show back then.
So we brought the car back and changed the number and the paint
scheme on it, and my uncle used to run that car at the local short
tracks. My deal with my folks was that I’d go to school in the daytime,
and then at night, I’d come home and help my uncle work on
that car in an open carport right next to our house. My brother,
Rodney, who was younger would work with me, and sometimes my
dad, Jacque, would pitch in. I’d wash the car, beat the dents out, and
do all the mechanical work I could do for the size I was. My uncle
and dad called me “Smokey,” after Smokey Yunick, a famous car
builder. In those days, we were doing everything shade-treemechanic
style. We had timing lights, but that was about it. No dynos
or anything. You worked on that engine by sound and by feel until
you got it right. That was the beginning of my education in racing.
After a while, my dad asked my brother and me if we wanted to build
our own race car. Well, you can imagine how we took to that. We went
to a junkyard and bought an old ’56 Ford chassis and a body off a ’65
Ford Falcon. My dad was a contractor, so he closed in the carport behind
the house to make a garage, and we were in business, building race
cars. I learned how to port and polish heads. I also learned how to weld
and do the other things that were necessary to build a race car. Once
the car was ready, we went out and ran at the local dirt tracks like the
Starlight Speedway in Monroe, North Carolina, and the Metrolina in
Charlotte. These were the minor leagues of stock car racing, and it was
places like that where the great drivers of those days got their starts.
We did pretty good, too. Won some races with a guy named Gene
Madry driving for us. The competition was pretty strong in those
days. Ralph Earnhardt was still driving. He had one of the better
frame machines around in those days, and he straightened our chassis
for us after we’d wrecked. There was one time when Dale
Earnhardt—who was running dirt tracks back then—came really
close to driving for us.
If you knew Ralph back then, you could see where Dale got his
personality and his style of driving. I remember Ralph saying that if
somebody did something to you in a race, you didn’t just do it back
to him. You did it back twice as hard. That way you got respect, and
the guy didn’t mess with you again. You didn’t bluff, and you didn’t
let yourself be bluffed. I believe that’s where Dale learned to be the
Intimidator—from his father, who was racing on dirt tracks around
Charlotte, sometimes against our car.
So it was a great way to learn racing, right there at the roots, and I
suspect that it’s why I feel the way I do about some of the things I see
in racing today. NASCAR, as everybody knows, has come a long,
long way. And the sport just keeps getting bigger and bigger, appealing
to a wider and wider audience. There weren’t many races on
television back when I started, and now I’m working for FOX, broadcasting
about racing every week and covering the races live. Millions
of people watch those broadcasts, and the people who follow racing
don’t just come from the South anymore.
NASCAR has become national and even international, and I have
mixed feelings about that. I believe that sometimes, when it reaches
out to new fans and new markets, the sport risks losing touch with its
roots. NASCAR is moving races from some of the old, classic short
tracks like Rockingham and putting them in places where we’ve
never raced before, like Chicago and Las Vegas. One of the great traditions
of racing was the Labor Day race at Darlington, the first superspeedway,
and now NASCAR has done away with that. I know
growth is a good thing but so is history and tradition, and we don’t
want to forget what has made our sport great.
