Having read several things lately about how Michael STILL can't sort out his emotions regarding 2/18/01 (a situation I fully understand), the joy Darrell felt, and Michael's emotions were appropriate and genuine. What bothered me was Krista's Victory Lane interview of Michael. I thought she was a better reporter. Too reminiscent of the old "joke" "Well, Mrs. Lincoln, other than that, how did you like the play?" Michael needed some time to enjoy the moment, process the feelings, etc., before she was in his face asking how it felt to have this win 10 years later. STUPID/unfeeling/unnecessary question. In this particular case, maybe just a quiet camera view for a while, then ASKING Michael if he wanted to talk. If he didn't, do some other interviews and then go back to him.Marylee from Richmondnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-48087713237243213202011-02-19T12:46:18.992-05:002011-02-19T12:46:18.992-05:00The classless hating of the Waltrip family here is...The classless hating of the Waltrip family here is so sad.<br />Just watched the race on DVR, and was disappointed SPEED missed the first green pit stop.<br />The single file racing for the first 2 thirds of the race was mind numbingly boring, but then trucks finally started racing.<br />And after all these years, Rick doesn't know that these are race trucks, not cars....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-20206530795556945262011-02-19T11:05:23.801-05:002011-02-19T11:05:23.801-05:00Great coverage.

He was one of the 5 trucks not in a wreck and for the spoiler to break at the bend says to me there was something fishy about it. If you watch the race footage you can clearly see the orange strip on the "bed" of the truck. If his truck would have been legal the race to the finish would have been much closer. I'm not sure Mikey wouldn't have still won, but NASCAR has to start being more consistent with its rulings. Denny broke a rule and lost the race, but its ok if Mikey does it? Now they are in a PR nightmare because if they don't take the win away (they won't) then when someone has their spoiler angle off and win at Talladega they will still have to let them win. They have just opened pandora's box.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03963617760442852143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-91370055172454620232011-02-19T09:11:41.052-05:002011-02-19T09:11:41.052-05:00Android...Sometimes hard to believe...booth was ri...Android...Sometimes hard to believe...booth was right...JJC was ticked at Kyle.

Both are put down so much and there they were leading at the end. I also don't have a problem with DW or boogity and I especially don't mind him rooting for his brother at the end. After all, everyone considers the Ned/Dale Jarrett deal to be one of NASCAR's greatest moments and it's repeated regularly. It's not like the relationship is a secret, and the family aspect of NASCAR is one of the things that makes it so special. <br /><br />I enjoyed RaceBuddy a lot, and Mikey's in-car was much better than what I see on TV during the races because the view changed at appropriate times. I like having some control over what I watch, so switching between Mikey and the mosaic view worked fine. I'd like to see a leaderboard on the screen instead of the chat. It's much easier to follow Facebook, Twitter, or whatever in another window. <br /><br />To any Waltrip non-haters out there, I was reading Mikey's book in between green flag racing, and am really enjoying it. Actually, some of the things I've learned from the book make me extra happy for Mikey tonight.Ginnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-22733255113381101972011-02-18T23:23:09.739-05:002011-02-18T23:23:09.739-05:00That's what you get when you BUNCH up the race...That's what you get when you BUNCH up the race cars.

TOTALLY made the race enjoyable!<br /><br />If there was yapping in the booth, it didn't bother me because I was enjoying the magnificent pictures as they flew through the air to our living room. House mate said same & he's no major NASCAR Fan.<br /><br />(Digression--That out of the way, we both found Krista out of line when she couldn't leave Mikey alone w Macy when he was crying & hugging her. It would've said so much more to just pull back the camera then & scan the crowd and let us have SILENCE for a few seconds.)<br /><br />Other than that, a terrific broadcast except for all the wrecks. Hope everybody is ok.<br /><br />And as somebody else mentioned, condolences to the entire Earnhardt family on this anniversary of Dale's passing.
