Because most British people (the bulk of BBC watchers), are formula one fans. JPM used to drive Formula one. In fact, he is a champion of that sport. Something very few can say they are.

JPM is one of like 3 guys that has driven Formula one and NASCAR.

It's to put perspective on their point of view toward NASCAR.


You are welcome Bobby :)

It is funny as all heck that people are arguing over the credentials of JPM. The guy would be adding the perspective of a non typical view of NASCAR coming from such a diverse background. I'm interested in hearing his thoughts/views on the sport more than the same ol', same ol' of the ever complaining Kyle Petty. I like Kyle and all, but his shtick is getting old. Maybe that's just me?

You don't want to hear about NASCAR from a former driver who seems to spend part of his day everyday fighting with fans on Twitter?

From Jeff Gordon's Friday Q & A:

WHAT WAS IT LIKE BEING WITH RICHARD HAMMOND OF TOP GEAR? I BELIEVE YOU FILMED IT LAST NOVEMBER AT TEXAS​
“Yeah, it’s been a while since we shot it. But I’m excited to see how it all turned out. I’m definitely a fan of the show. Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to do that lap around their track that they have over there in Europe, but maybe we’ll get a chance to do that one day and see where we stack up. But he’s a great guy; very funny to work with Richard. They were really in awe of Texas Motor Speedway and the whole NASCAR experience. I think it was great that they were coming to that race track and here to America to shoot something for the European audience; it’s so strong for them, but really I guess a worldwide audience. We’ll see how it turns out. It was fun.”​

Unless DIRECTV adds BBCA in HD over the next couple of hours, it looks like I'll be watching an SD broadcast for the first in probably a year. The sacrifices I make just to see a bit of NASCAR are incredible.
