Joey did *say* he was sorry about that, but it didn't seem particularly sincere. I try and remember he's a kid, though...a kid who probably hasn't paid as many 'dues' as some others. Surely he saw it with his competitors, but maybe he was somewhat sheltered from it. I do think he could learn from some adversity. I thought it was a good sign that NASCAR penalized him though--he's not Teflon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-65185376192991845162009-01-30T15:07:00.000-05:002009-01-30T15:07:00.000-05:00I caught a few minutes of Joey and his answer abou...I caught a few minutes of Joey and his answer about IRwindale and could not believe his ego either...just laughed it off like it's funny.<BR/><BR/>OBVIOUSLY he doesn't have to worry about cost to fix wrecked cars.

Just because it's a non points race doesn't mean you can drive like an idiot and all's forgiven. Just let him try this at the non-points Shootout, and let him take out a few Cup drivers and then let him talk smack about how it's no big deal because it's a non-points race. For that matter, what if he makes the All Star Race in May and he pulls the same numbskull move? What would his fellow drivers say then? Would they cut him slack because it's a non-points race? I don't think he'd be singing the same tune then. I think the ego is already catching up with sliced bread.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-59131215398366407282009-01-30T08:27:00.000-05:002009-01-30T08:27:00.000-05:00Joey was driving a substandard car for some (not a...Joey was driving a substandard car for some (not all) of those races. Personally I think Bootie was right, had hasn't been 'tested' by having to drive a lot of those, and he will likely struggle with the 'making them better' part. But the truth is, he's walking into (once again) the perfect situation, an experienced team & crew chief, and a big time sponsor. There are probably a half dozen (at least) guys you could have put in there who would just just as well or better than Joey will...but if he succeeds, he'll be sliced bread again, despite being handed all the tools on a silver platter. I know there's a goofy mixed metaphor in there somewhere, lol. But he'll get too much credit if he does succeed, IMHO. Can't argue that he comes across as a very nice young man, though. And they did ask him about Irwindale, although he just answered with a big goofy grin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-15328892949312896062009-01-29T20:13:00.000-05:002009-01-29T20:13:00.000-05:00I found Bootie Barker's comment last week about Lo...I found Bootie Barker's comment last week about Logano to be quite interesting. He said it won't take long for "sliced bread" to be sourdough unless he produces. Seeing how poorly he did in Cup races last season, and what he did in the All Star race last weekend, it could be a long season for what many feel is the next coming of the Messiah. Not every person in Nascar has taken a sip from the Logano Kool Aid, so this could be an interesting turn for the young man.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-90845170031532216982009-01-29T18:25:00.000-05:002009-01-29T18:25:00.000-05:00It's OK with me if the Speed Report folks want to ...It's OK with me if the Speed Report folks want to take this Sunday evening off to catch the new batch of commercials on another network. :)<BR/> MarybethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-11967100866727499852009-01-29T09:22:00.000-05:002009-01-29T09:22:00.000-05:00This sounds like damage control to me.

He was supposed to have found the cure for cancer, and he fell way short of that.Then he puts his head in his you-know-what Saturday night, and made it worse by not apologizing. So JGR probably pushed,begged, pleaded, heck, even PAID SPEED to have him on, so he can save face for himself and the team, and spin Saturday's mess into a positive.<BR/>I agree with other posters that there are more stories of more importance to talk about.<BR/>Even if I as a fan would like to see young up and comers get some face time, given the fact that his parents are/were already rich, how much face time do you need if you're already a millionaire?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-43653111601242925292009-01-29T01:24:00.000-05:002009-01-29T01:24:00.000-05:00Marketing question of the day??

The interviews offer nothing relevent to Daytona other than 'how was your vacation?' and 'what do you think of no testing?' <BR/><BR/>The rest of the show is a minute of real news and 20 minutes of fluff I can fast foward through.<BR/><BR/>Here's some ideas. Talk to Allmendinger about his new ride. Talk to the series directors of the Nationwide and Truck series about the status of 2009. Tell us who exactly is in the Budwiser Shootout next weekend with all the complex rules. Talk to Speed Channel's own Phil Parsons about his new full time Cup operation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
