Here we go! The big finale is on the TV from Homestead. ESPN has 72 cameras, 16 in-cars and tons of announcers. The script is written, but the big question is will reality let it happen?
Nicole Briscoe has Rusty Wallace and Brad Daugherty in the Infield Pit Studio. Upstairs it's Allen Bestwick with Dale Jarrett and Andy Petree. On pit road is Dr. Jerry Punch, Jamie Little, Dave Burns and Vince Welch.
This is ESPN's biggest NASCAR telecast in years. The nation is watching two veteran drivers, teams and manufacturers end the season in a head-to-head battle.
We have discussed all year long the issues with "hyper-tight" coverage. The challenge today for ESPN is to maintain the integrity of the race telecast while keeping viewers updated on the Chase.
There is little more to say. This is the ultimate pressure cooker for a sports TV telecast.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 563 Newer› Newest»Anon, it was made pretty clear by the reporters at the track that it was a piece of Kurt Busch's transmission.
They only reason the pit reporter would not show it to use is if it came and went. Did not hang up in the grill.
Media said it was a big hole. Thought originally it took out the radiator too.
Things starting to get strung out...time for a caution?
it looks like espn has taken down the sports score crawl from the bottom of the screen.
ESPN does so well at this racing thing, they can report the news before it happens!
Wow, full screen for football during green flag
Just perfect! what a bunch of idiots.
FULL SCREEN PROMOS!
Those promo's were soo ill-timed under green.
I hope that Jamie Little finds another job before next season.
RaceBuddy has been flaky for me so far, either hangs or crashes.
JD, ill timed is a really polite way of saying what I was thinking.
I don't understand the Jimmy Johnson obsession.
So, 2 Rousch/Yates engines gone. Wonder if Carl is sweating yet?
No. 6 - Oil Pan Failure
So, 2 Roush-Yates engines gone. Let's see how ESPN chases this one.
The Roushers are having engine woes.
David Ragan just installed a window in his engine block.
hmmm. was telling the chef on the way home after lunch that the fords will either be very good or they'll blow up. looks as if "blow up" was the choice!
Homestead always seems to be a Ford track for whatever reason, it will be interesting if an engine failure takes Edwards out, won't it?
Well, when I said that the coverage was better than I expected, it really was. Now it's back to normal. Hopefully the restart will spice things up.

They will, of course, use this to generate some drama
Is it just me-J Little just grates on me.
do you realize that this is one of the few 10 race trophy deals that the contenders have actually HAD to race, they can't just sit back and ride around in say 20th to get the trophy?
Anon, nope it's not just you. Every time she speaks, it makes me grit my teeth waiting for whatever silly comment will come out of her mouth.
Not just you. She is a square peg in a round hole with NASCAR.
and a stupid peg to boot. Much prefer Wendy V or Krista for any NASCAR coverage.
She might do well somewhere else, but Nascar is really not her niche. She's had enough time to improve is she was going to.
Like the way, say Nicole Briscoe has done. A world of difference from when she started.
Kenseth in the wall, pancakes the side of his car. No mention.
Come on RB, I want to see who Tony is chasing, not his face and hands.
Gordon's spotter says its raining just outside the fence.
huh. they're recapping, using old audio from the 99, & my twitter feed says the 17 slapped the wall during the commercial.
guess since he's not the 99 or 14, it's not important.
Does the 48 problem mean the 24 & 88 will have problems too?
72 cameras and we see the 48 on pit road and the 99.
gordon says it's raining now.
At least JJ and Cheater Knaus will not win their 6th title
Driver mentions Lap 5 to Lap 100:
55 14 - Stewart
41 99 - Edwards
24 88 - Earnhardt Jr.
15 48 - Johnson
14 17 - Kenseth
13 24 - Gordon
12 2 - Keselowski
11 29 - Harvick
9 39 - Newman
8 4 - Kahne

2 21 - Bayne
2 35 - Blaney
2 43 - Allmendinger
1 22 - Busch
1 27 - Menard
That promo "what's going on insside the sprint cup" *during* the final race of the championship is stupid.
Oh man, mother nature tests NASCAR again.
Buschseries -- great information. Have a beer on me during the next commercial.
JD,
Carl Edwards told Claire B yesterday after the NW race that he wasn't sure yet how many NW races he was going to run next year. Maybe he was just being coy.
Nice picture of the rainbow, heard that the 14 is getting the "best" HMS equipment.
Earlier in the year the 24 had engine issues but the 48 and 88 didn't have any problems.
Fill time!
They said/showed the hole was the size of two fists. Lug nut? Why don't they show radar when rain is approaching?
Thats the 48's problem--His engine is missing.
ChrisK said...
Fill time!
BEER BREAK!
Be nice if ESPN took some fan questions during the red flag.
Clearly, the wider shots and focus on drivers other than Edwards and Stewart we saw in the first 50 laps gave me false hope.
NorCal,
Jack Roush said Carl is not involved with the NNS program he runs for next season because he is working full time for ESPN on the NNS races.
this little segment typifies the difference between edwards & stewart: one is conferencing w/his crew chief, car chief, etc. the other is walking down pit road, smiling, talking to a reporter, messing with his crew.
just an observation.
Gee, I'll miss that Napa know how commercial in the off season - NOT!
JD,
I'm aware of Carl's plans on ESPN next year that is why I was surprised at his response to Claire.
Is Kyle Busch even there ? He hasn't got any air time today.
JD - Since we've got a break here, I wanted to thank you for running this site again this year. Much appreciated, and enjoyed.
They should show continuous commercials during the red flag and then not show any for the rest of the race.
Thanks, been working on plans for next year for some time now.
Nothing to announce, but it could be interesting. Stay tuned.
Gonna be a long night now with this rain delay.
Drivers with no coverage through the first 109 laps include:
David Reutimann
Jamie McMurray
Joey Logano
Jeff Burton
David Gilliland
Travis Kvapil
Bobby Labonte
Landon Cassill
Mike Bliss
Regan Smith
Cole Whitt
It's sooo humid here today that stuff is going to come up fast.
Lots of pop-up showers near the coast today. I live right next to the Intercoastal and the ocean.
I would like to thank you for running this site and devoting all your time and efforts to this project.
You are always the shining light in a dark period for NASCAR
I wonder how CAT, Home Depot, and some of those other big dollar sponsors feel about the total lack of coverage for their drivers. Even if NASCAR doesn't care about their fans, they are eventually going to have to address sponsor dissatisfaction in the sport.
"Buschseries61 said...

Not completely true. They did show Tony putting the bumper to him. LOL.
Ny word on how bad "black Monday" and the layoffs will be this upcoming week? Roush down a team, no Red Bull, Childress down a team and generally no better on the economic front.
Could be a bad week.
Carl, it's a huge issue. ESPN is squarely to blame for doing it.
Covering the Chase as if the other cars do not exist unless they lead the race has been a hot topic since 2007.
A really great broadcast today. Lots of wide shots, good updates on Stewart's condition despite their initial mis-handling. They seem to be covering a lot of other competitors as well. I also appreciate that there's no football ticker at the bottomn. Disappointing that the rainstorm broke the rhythm.
My only complaint is that we don't need that bar showing the ponts difference. Maybe just show it every 50 laps, or when they close to within 10.
I too want to thank JD for this spot to join together w/Nascar fans on Sunday. We have lost a few due to the poor coverage-they just couldn't take it anymore. I never turned on the TV until 3 myself today. Couldn't see where anyone would have anything diff to say that they haven't said all wk.
As I mentioned earlier, told over 100 from Roush. Red Bull still said to be totally closing. If RCR keeps their folks, then the former KHI guys are all out.
It's a bad time up that way.
Speakin of rain delays I amwatching the 1991 Champion Spark Plug 500. That race had a 95+ minute rain delay. The race was restarted and ran the full distance. ESPN telecasted the race with Bob Jenkins and Ned Jarrett. Benny Parsons was not at the race due to BP being at the bedside of his very ill wife Connie ( she died during the race). ESPN even gave instuctions on how to send letters of condolences to BP during the rain delay. Darrell Waltrip won the race BTW.
Covering the Pits: Dr. Jerry Punch and John Kernan.
What a differnce 20 years make for a TV channel
Pammmmm,
You missed 5.5 hours of Massaro, Craven, Smith, Spake, Alexander, Evernham, Roberts, K. Petty, K. Wallace, Joy, DW, Wood, Larry Mac, Hermie and Wendy all saying the same thing over and over again.
The Team sponsors may have to respond to ESPN's incompetence.
ESPN may have to respond to the non chasers backlash
JD, let me add my thank you to the rest. This site is so much fun for us and I know it's a lot of work for you, but I do firmly believe that it has saved my sanity relative to NASCAR.
Until I found you, I thought I was the only one who was frustrated.
GinaV24 Exactly. I thought maybe there was something wrong with me as I was so frustrated by the coverage. JD's twitter led me to this site. Nice to know you're not alone. :)
And, JD, I'd like to thank you for all your hard work. It makes a difference. Believe me.
I bet some sponsors have a "chase clause" in their contract.
More money if a driver makes the chase and they get more exposure.
Just express yourself without all the name calling and weird words.
No one here understands why you scream about the announcers when they are not screaming themselves.
Makes no sense at all.
Ahhhh so #6 gets the junk engines.
Well I sure as hell didnt miss 5.5 hours of Massaro, Craven, Smith, Spake, Alexander, Evernham, Roberts, K. Petty, K. Wallace, Joy, DW, Wood, Larry Mac, Hermie and Wendy all saying the same thing over and over again.
Went Grocery shopping, mowed the leaves off the lawn and washed a car!
Wow! "We had an experimental engine in the #6 and it was way out there." from Doug Yates.
JD, I add my thanks. Without this site, I don't know how I would get through a race. I really don't want to lose my love of racing, but it's been a struggle the last few years. Thanks for all the work you do, and to everyone here for making the races bearable.
Thanks, it's all good. Had fun this season. Lots to talk about over the next couple of weeks.
There is a LOT about to change for one NASCAR TV partner. Stay tuned.
Yep-Great job JD.
The pin stripe suit for Doherty? OK, biting my tongue, but oh boy!
Nothing worse than 2 people that add zero to broadcast banter back and forth about engines.. Ugh!!
What a difference 20 years makes for a TV channel
Agreed. As much as I think they're doing a better job today, they used to be much better
Please God it's a change for the better!
JD, your crazy troll is back, eh?
His spelling finally improved!
Im hoping for a change for the better for the TV partner JD? Please please please? Don't we deserve it? I think so. Some of this coverage is painfull!
And Thanks JD for everything you do and have provided for us. Its a great meeting place for us frustrated fans!
Thank goodness ESPN has the SportsCenter bumper. If the race restarts at 5:30 ET and maintains the same pace from the first 110 laps, we should see the checkered flag around 7:15 ET. BCS Countdown starts at 8:15 ET

November 20, 2011 5:13 PM
From what I was once told, Roush has always had a sacrificial lamb on his team. Anyone remember Chad Little?
Let me add my thanks also,JD. Its a real sanity saver & also the most accurate TV listing.
It's two folks. One is a kid and the other an adult.
The kid does not bother me but I took steps to deal with the adult.
If I come back in this form next season it will be Wordpress with sign-in to avoid that stuff.
Just stuck with blogspot because it is available to everyone, even those with the most fundamental Internet access.
It's just a little life lesson that confirms that those who cannot participate must disrupt.
Feel kinda sad for both of them.
Brad D now an engine builder?
He's goofy. Anyone with common
sense knows an engine will live
longer if not run at max rpms;
even Rusty.
Thanks JoJay, I have a great relationship with all of the NASCAR TV partners.
They are awesome at getting me info and responding to reader questions and emails.
It's just a shame ESPN stinks in the producer and director department. SPEED did a KILLER truck race here Friday night.
This is pretty rugged.
JD
Killer as in awesome
I applaud your patience, JD and I have no problems with signing in - and if you need contributions to keep running, I'm happy to do that, too.
Dear Erik -- not on your life! Ugh, so not into trolls.
Daly Planet Editor said...

Could this be the father and son that attacked the Royals first baseman on the field a few years ago?
LOL! That was classic video.
trackpass just reset the lap count to red flag conditions with 0 of 267 laps run.
I'll bet there are several teams who would like do overs.
I give Jamie credit for trying to get answers.
Anybody see this on Twitter?
@FrontRowNASCAR: Downtime. Got to hear story of how 34 gasman Corey almost got shot by Secret Service for running past security to get new radio from truck.
Oh my, Chris!
sbaker, yeah, you are right, Roush does always seem to have a sacrificial lamb on all of his teams, wonder who it will be when they go to 3 teams?
sbaker...I was a Little fan (believe it or not, his son Jesse is going to race K&N next season.) He had very few engine failures, or parts failures in general, but even Burton admitted later that there was a 'hierarchy' at Roush.
As soon as David blew up, I said, oh, he got the experimental engine package....
ChrisK: i've worked w/Secret Service on events several times. they have a "limited" sense of humor & SERIOUSLY dislike folks moving fast for any reason. i made certain i kept my hands in plain sight when moving from one secured area to another.
C'mon John - quit the teasers.
glenc1:
I started following Chad Little as he came up thru the old Winston West Series..
All you druggies and drunks shut yer mouths
Bob Osborne is a very dry kinda guy.
"i've worked w/Secret Service on events several times. they have a "limited" sense of humor & SERIOUSLY dislike folks moving fast for any reason."
-Classic.LOL Good blog tonight folks! Thanks JD
Somebody jokingly asked NASCAR VP on Twitter if there was a penalty for a jet drier pitting during red flag.
Answer: "Private fine"
Carl Edwards is a strange man. Very different from Tony. Didn't he originally decline being the in-race reporter this week? Now he doesn't want to talk. Must be a bundle of nerves, against his image - which is why he doesn't want to talk.
ESPN found Jeff Burton!
Just got in a bit ago to turn on tv in time for rain delay.
Local tweeps enlightened me to the TACKY BOOING of hillbilly NASCAR fans. Not endearing to folks outside the sport. And 1st ladies there with military. Sheesh.
Most embarrassing moment of the year. SHAMEFUL. no matter what your politics.
This is why I tell few people I watch NASCAR :-(
Wonder if they will ever get this race going again. Burton out of firesuit can't be good sign.
Sbaker...become a fan in his Busch days; I do think it's cool he works for NASCAR now. I liked him as a broadcaster also.
Could Bob Osborne be more...low key? lol.
Well, I've never worked with the secret service on anything but was in the Philly airport in the fall when Obama came through. Caused major delays at the airport of course AND there were secret service agents that showed up at every gate.
I didn't even see the limited sense of humor that Red mentioned. And just think all of us were already IN the airport having been through TSA security.
I'm sure the gas man wasn't thinking about them or the FL and whatever you call the VP's lady one bit.
ESPN has to be really uptight about this race going into the evening.
They want to get their football coverage in.
Mr Editor -
Since you and I share a bit of familiarity with the Sawyer family's vision becoming reality at RIR, I very much appreciate the blog ...know it takes a deep love of the sport to create and manage this venue ...your pride and hard work show in a quality product ...much appreciated ...should you be back in 2012, I'll be along side ...either #99 or #14 will be an impressive representative of the sport ...thanks for the heads-up on changes for the better in coverage of this sport all here look forward to the coming year ...let's get this thing rolling
Walter
hey Sophia! i suspect Burton simply has the firesuit unzipped halfway, to his waist. that's why we saw the Sparco underwear shirt.
(it's one of Dale's favorite looks, right down to tying the sleeves in a knot around his waist!)
Wasn't surprised it was the 6. I'd be worried if the 17 or 16 blow.
Here's what I wonder:
If we're switching to fuel injection next year, what exactly is Doug Yates testing? Nationwide engines?
I have a feeling it rained so Jimmie's reign could last just that much longer.
ChrisK
ROFLMFAO
I was at Richmond one year when Rumsfeld showed up. Only thing that was different was my scanner didn't work right the whole night, sound was funky. Always wondered if they were messing with the signals. Searching & such was no different for us, but I figured it was for people inside with hot passes.
I wasn't too worried about the 6 - or the 9.
Here's what I wonder:
If we're going to fuel injection next year, what exactly is Doug Yates testing? Nationwide engines?
Wow, good point Diandra!
" Buschseries61 said...

For a guy who appears to have never met a microphone he didn't like, yes, it's strange. And this is one of the reasons I can't stand Carl. According to drivers and others, he isn't the person he presents himself as.
Him posturing in front of the camera is something like Meryl Streep on screen. You don't believe them. You watch them "act" with all the little things they do.
That being said, I'm surprised Tony agreed to be an in race reporter. If I were in their position, I wouldn't want any more distractions than necessary.
GinaV24: i offered them cookies. they accepted. and thus was born our friendship -- as long as i didn't run from place to place!
in fact, next time i worked with them, they remembered the cookies more than the nightmare that my store was to secure!
Most of the engine will be the same next year. Just the intake is different.
Dennis,
I talked to ESPN about that. Carl just did not want to get distracted inside the car and be the in-race reporter.
Tony said no problem, remember he is an owner and wants all he can get of sponsor exposure.
I am fascinated that ESPN is going to use Carl on the air next season. As if Rusty and Brad are not enough, Carl is going to be an even stranger conflict of interest announcer.
I wonder when Home Depot will say enough with Logano's performance.
Can you say bad timing on the interview?
Will the ratings suffer or get better after this delay JD ?
Time to power up the 1.5 million dollar control room to make the race box bigger.
Anon, I think if the story continues to be that Smoke is catching Carl and they look like the fastest cars they will pick right back up.
now they go to non stop.
Red
Thanks for the tip on Burton's firesuit. Soon after I saw others in suits so I was confused.
Thanks for unconfusing me.
Would imagine suits hot in muggy weather!
If the cars start rolling at 5:55PM, we could see the checkers at 7:40 PM ET. That leaves ESPN 35 minutes for a post race.
Good idea, Red. Cookies smooth the way for so many things. LOL
Dr D, glad you came to join us again.
Interesting thought about the Yates engines.
Drivers are going to run under yellow while the jet dryers hit pit road.
Why conflict of interest becomes the mainstay on ESPN is beyond me.
Chris: The parts are similar but the CFD shows that the airflow is really different for the two configs. So maybe they were testing new parts for endurance...? They wouldn't get much info about horsepower.
So I was wondering why ESPN shows Carl with 2407 points and the live leaderboard on nascar.com shows 2406?
Also ESPN shows a point differential of 12 while nascar.com shows 11?
Just wondering!
J.R.
Thank god that's over. I was so bored I started correcting kenny wallace's grammar on twitter. #lostcause ;)
Does anyone have any idea whom driver X is in ESPN the magazine. I read the latest one I got this morning on the trip home. It was a good read.
The only hint in the magazine was "popular sprint cup driver".
Its probably Carl Edwards
Jerry - other clue to Driver X was that he eats lunch in the same restaurant a lot and likes their potato salad. And it was a good article.
JD -
without wanting to sound fulsome, let me add my voice to those thanking you and the Planeteers. As my interest continues to wane and I limit my NASCAR reading to your site on race days, Spin Doctor on Sundays, and The NASCAR Insiders on Wednesdays, I get more than enough to keep me up to date.
A lot of what you write is inside stuff, but it helps us understand why we see what we see.
WCK
Well, it all comes down to this and both guys are still in the fight.
Thanks Kenny!
Told it was the carb on the 48. Back with no problems.
ESPN execs high-fiving!
ESPN & nascar.com are still not the same in points! Nascar.com gives Tony a 2 point advantage!
JR
JD you rock if you were responsible for ridding the screen of the "bottom line." My hero! Killer race since restart. Nice pics.
I just realized that this is also the end of JJ finishing no lower than 5th in points...unless Kenseth blows up too.
I think the difference is the bonus for most laps led, TV is giving to the 99 for now.
Now that Stewart is Upfront our chances of seeing racing at the back is none.
Yep. Only 2 cars going to be covered for the reast of the night. Ridiculous.
Are the other forty cars on ESPN2 or Classic?
Wow! Talk about bells and whistles! Did you see that effect?
say championship some more ...
and dont talk so much but then
again you have never had any
consideration for the viewers
Bogus Caution!!!
wish espn would show us why #99 is so pissed at #29. keeps bitching to nascar about it...
Might as well park everybody else. We won't see them unless they crash.
Folks in 1992, you only saw Budwieser and Hooters for the last hundred miles or so. It was getting down to business time. This one is entering that time. Don't give a damn where Bobby Labonte or any other car from 25th on back is.
Ben, the ESPN truck folks follow Twitter. Sometimes, when we raise issues it actually makes sense.
That window is SMALLER than before.
J.D.,
Did the folks at Turner tell you why RaceBuddy is so much more unstable today than usual? It keeps falling laps behind and I have to close the window and reopen it so I'm closer to the TV (and enjoy that wonderful Expedia commercial again-and-again-and-again-and-again)?
i started with Firefox which usually works okay. Google Chrome didn't load the video although the rest of the frame loaded. But Safari seemed to work best.
WCK
Three screens for two cars, that's ESPN right there.
Wow. JJ is certainly not having a great season ending race, is he?
did chad just say "those tires aren't flat!" to JJ?!?
Kenny, I have had RaceBuddy running on my laptop with IE since the start and no issues.
Turner told me the different browsers and the constant updgrades to each of them is their biggest issue.
Spotter says "hang onto it." I wonder if that helps.
red, can you feel the wheels coming off that marriage? I can.
@Jessica
I rewound the TV and looked at the restart after the rain delay. It appeared Harvick (starting in P1) either had a bad restart or he intentionally held back so Gordon (P2) and Stewart (P4) could pass him on the outside lane which left Edwards stuck behind Harvick.
JD, i think the divorce may be a year away but yeah, i feel it coming as well. not entirely unexpected but still sad.
OMG here we are in SC and we have a complete power outage!!! Our home in MD has a whole house emergency back up and we lose our power here!!! Twitter for updates I guess.
Chris, if I were a driver, my crew would hate me because I love sarcasm. I would have come over the radio and said "You know, I honestly thought about just letting it crash uncontrolled until you reminded me to 'Hang onto it', thanks spotter!!"
Tony is definitely on a mission tonight!
Yeah, I know, J.D. Compatibility is always an issue for web developers. I have had some horrible problems on a client's site because his readers are mostly older luddites who rely on IE because it's the default for Windows and when I try to diagnose things, I have to explain what a browser is. Fuggedabout asking them to empty the cache or clear the cookies.
Firefox usually is the most stable browser both on Windows and Mac I've seen. IE makes web designers say things you know are not safe for broadcast!
WCK
Thanks norcal for doing espn's j
ob;)
Sally said...

The mission to win the cup!
LOL, yeah, I also thought the spotter's comment was a Capt. Obvious moment - nah, I think I'll just let it hit the wall. sheesh.
I also agree that the bromance between Chad and Jimmie is probably ending - "keep driving" from the crew chief after the car spins? Yeah, that will work.
Pumped back down?
Wow, that was a big wreck. That doesn't usually happen at homestead.
Cole Witt and Landon Cassill are in this race?
Were in this race?
Can someone tell me why this track doesn't have two dates?
Tony just screamed in on radio YEAH MUTHE....FHHHS! LOL
Too hot and humid in south Florida most of the year.
I have no idea who the voice behind Theorangecone is on twitter but he's funny:) "TheOrangeCone -
Told Smoke before the race the brass balls hanging off the rear bumper were probably too much. Apparently he has another set inside the car."
For those of us in the UK, it is on Premier Sports. They were offering a freeview today, so non-subscribers could see it. It ran from race start to 11pm local time (45 minutes ago). The race is still on for those of us that subscribe, but some people not happy.
Hope the changes JD talked about does not involve Nicole disappearing. She has done a great job, considering what she has to work with.
Thanks for this site in 2011.
This is definately the season of inanimate objects on Twitter. Did I spell that right?
Lug nut got stuck on the gun on Tony's pit stop.
Time for Darian to snag Ryan Newman's pit crew.
ya know, Tony's attitude is making me *not* want him to win. Ordinarily I find him amusing, but this is just over the top, even for him. There's still lots of time for stuff to happen. I suppose for some it's a way of pumping themselves up. I'm kind of tired of hearing it though.
Delenn, we got some folks working to try and get the free feed continued since the race is running long.
Shame they were asleep at the switch!
"definitely" not spelled correctly, JD!
Really good racing today. I'd pay to see this live.
holy crap, there is a lot of dirt or whatever on the track.
well you can't fine an inanimate object. And yes you did spell that right #nascargrammrnazi ;)
JD, it is a shame as Premier Sports have done a great job this season. Good pictures, all the races (including overruns and weekday races) live. Freeview of Trucks and Nationwide races this weekend, only to mess up on the big one.
Post on here is they think they have sorted it, as I subscribe so I still have it on.
Thanks
JD,
It's spelled definitely. :>)
Only reason ESPN showed the four wide was because it was on the back of the shot framed on Stewart.
Awful.
Glen, Tony's always been a sarcastic SOB. I don't like him, but I do root for Chevy and I can't stand Roush and his band of roushketeers so I am cheering for him although I'd rather not.
