He didn't dominate conversation, though I noticed he wasn't as astute at pointing out trouble as he sometimes is; when a wreck happened, he'd generally make only a little exclamation of surprise rather than annonce the wreck. <br /><br />@Anon 6:59, ARCA runs Hoosier tires, do they not?Zetonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15019200559798764852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-44948734816314153592011-06-18T04:44:59.927-04:002011-06-18T04:44:59.927-04:00I'm hoping it will change DW.

Now that he's made it, he has nothing to prove and he can chill out.<br />Seriously, all the bitchin on blogs about DW aren't going to make him go away anytime soon. FOX and Speed will always have a chunk of media contracts, that means DW will be there until he no longer wants to do TV anymore. That you can take to the bank.!<br />You just have to continue to be creative and listen and view as to your preferred methods.<br />Until NASCAR changes their CEO, it's pretty much the way it's going to be. For me that means deal with it or drop the sport all together. I don't watch many other sports aside from auto racing.
