I knew they wouldn't get into anything big with Helton, and I'm sure he knew the questions in advance, but I thought it was pretty good. I did have a flashback of Mikey behaving himself when Helton was there years past. <br /><br />I have to admit that I do have a little extra respect for Mike Helton because after the races at Kansas, he and his wife always walk down from the suite thru the stands, across the track into the infield. He seems very accessible then, and he probably does it at other tracks too. I am only in the middle of the stands there.<br /><br />It's not as bad as it was, but the volume still is low on the TWIN show. I know Mikey does get excited sometimes, but he's not THAT bad. <br /><br />Back to DWTS, have already voted!peggyannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07777698566879951497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-90130418101485785162009-09-21T21:05:02.515-04:002009-09-21T21:05:02.515-04:00Jonathan I can't really do the transcript but ...Jonathan I can't really do the transcript but Biffle asked great questions.Vicky Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13084198036514255332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-17920594317802809132009-09-21T20:35:54.955-04:002009-09-21T20:35:54.955-04:00My tv is broke waiting on a part.

He's always great about it and I want him to get funny with the boyz.<br /><br />I tweeted JD that Mr. Helton should go to Bristol. Preferably after watching a race and asking what we do "how are you not embarrassed by that lame excuse for a race broadcast?" Heck we can give him all the questions to ask them!

Before retiring, I spent my entire career in product development. Nascar's approach to the Cot seems to be"Here it is, you guys make it work" instead of aggressively working with the owners/teams to fine tune the concept to the point where it was a descent handling car. I'm sure Helton will spin a nice sounding story about why they will do nothing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-4619659900590834352009-09-21T11:17:23.914-04:002009-09-21T11:17:23.914-04:00Two active drivers (including 1 chaser) and Steve ...Two active drivers (including 1 chaser) and Steve Byrnes asking Helton tough questions? Please. Spence might say something a bit edgy but I doubt it. And even if any of them ask anything remotely resembling a question vs. trading inside jokes with him, Helton will play it right down the middle of the fairway. All is right with the Chase, the COT, TV coverage/ratings, blah blah blah. I may tune in for 5 mins or so just because I can't avoid looking at train wrecks. :-) Otherwise, its just on to Dover for me.toomuchcountryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09359556284713305865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-29578868132647630652009-09-21T10:40:07.173-04:002009-09-21T10:40:07.173-04:00I've always wondered if the Chase is so great ...I've always wondered if the Chase is so great (and I think it is), why don't they do it in the other 2 major touring series.
