I can only stand one Waltrip on here. I really am not interested in what he has to say as I DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT want to hear what he has to say. I know that JD retweets his comments, I ignore those posts. <br /><br />The one thing though I do hope he takes the criticisims to heart and changes his behaviour onscreen. He needs to hear from the "real audiance" than just the producer in his ear telling him that he is great.tracijnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-90980363981586032572010-03-06T17:36:20.579-05:002010-03-06T17:36:20.579-05:00Against my better judgment, I decided to add DW to...Against my better judgment, I decided to add DW to my "follow" list.

During the qualifying session he said Geoff Bodine set the all time speed record at Atlanta in 1997 on Hoosiers. That is false.

(I never watch FOX News)<br /><br />I do agree with him on how today's schedule sucks compared to the old one. Intermediate tracks may seem fun to drive, but there is little competition and they aren't fun to watch either. I would like to see Iowa, Kentucky, the short track at New Jersey Motorsports Park, and a few new facilities be added to the schedule.<br /><br />But he does have to grow up a bit on his race coverage. Not every announcer can hype up and bias race coverage.

Ron in NC and JohnP, I couldn't have said it better. NASCAR needs to get FOX to become more professional if they want to be like the NFL. Kyle Petty uses twitter well, but I already know DW has a plan to use it to his advantage. I see a dimwit, someone else sees the greatest tweeter ever. What am I missing?

I only follow a few for NASCAR but many local peeps for food, news, music,weather,charities, interaction and fostering relationships with people in my community.<br /><br />I have only met two face to face but both nice people and one a fabulous restaurant/wine/beer specialist. I'd tweeted for MONTHS with him...and we shared pics of our cats. When I stepped into his place last week, I was greeted warmly with a hug and he stopped by to tell me what to get for dinner (i COULD not DECIDE!) and to ask how things were going, many times on packed house. <br /><br />THEN I got some news from him that was not for Twitter fodder but he felt he could share with me. Meeting a stranger for the first time? Never woulda happened. No sense of trust.<br /><br />DW will learn what to write and not write. As far as responding invidually, it's over whelming for those wtih many followers.<br /><br />I've gotten responses from a few faves but don't want to say who so they don't get BOMBARDED! But if you are at the right place at the right time, you can exchange fun comments. Some races/writer types hit and run. Others answer ya back.<br /><br /><br />How good twitter is, is how SAVVY you are at it, too.<br /><br />Not for everybody..I detest and hate Facebook (hate games but know many love them!!) Quality folks I follow and only met 2, but some local high profilers tell me I will enjoy meeting most in my stream. If I got out of the house more freely, I would be meeting many more. <br /><br /> <br /><br />DW's tweets did not make sense to me at first but he'll either learn it to suit him, or will do the best he can. My first year on twitter was VERY Frustrating. Hardly used it. Was lost. Hard to believe I've been there two years!<br /><br />I am LEARNING more about SW OH than I ever knew from local TV/mags/newspapers. <br /><br />So twitter has value for me personally and to help promote local music.<br /><br />Should be interesting to see how DW does.Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789033556426951026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-73402977629814435322010-03-05T15:41:05.093-05:002010-03-05T15:41:05.093-05:00DW is all about dw again, and again and again........DW is all about dw again, and again and again......jeese, I am so tired of him and his mouth that I barely watch racing on Fox anymore. <br /><br />Doesn't anyone lead a real life any more?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-19771511220650492012010-03-05T15:12:34.716-05:002010-03-05T15:12:34.716-05:00"About his TV viewing: Better get to bed, tim...<b>"About his TV viewing: Better get to bed, time for O'Reilly, he's good but I'm starting to dig Glen Beck!"</b><br /><br />Bill O'Reilly comes on at 7pm in Darrell's time zone (Central).<br /><br />How long before he starts going to bed at 4pm to watch Glenn Beck?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-19738343059329020752010-03-05T14:59:58.611-05:002010-03-05T14:59:58.611-05:00Has Darrell Waltrip tried to sell us any Digger st...Has Darrell Waltrip tried to sell us any Digger stuff on Twitter yet?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-39371629806260608312010-03-05T13:41:42.081-05:002010-03-05T13:41:42.081-05:00hmmm,well, DW can sure spin a yarn can't he? ...hmmm,well, DW can sure spin a yarn can't he? So now he can tweet at the fans -- as long as we can tweet back to him and maybe point out how his broadcasting skills or lack thereof are affecting when I'm watching the race - it might be a good thing.<br /><br />Like WestCoastDiane - I don't tweet a lot - I don't mind reading the tweets on some topics (like The Daly Planet for example), but the people who tweet about what they had for breakfast and their daily activities, ad nauseum, well, I don't see the point.<br /><br />Considering that DW never responds to any e-mail sent to him - at least none of the ones that I've sent comments on at Fox - I'm betting that twitter will be a one-way street for him, too. After all, old DW doesn't like criticism.GinaV24https://www.blogger.com/profile/10828669350024430018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-6558236243821906172010-03-05T12:05:07.843-05:002010-03-05T12:05:07.843-05:00I'm becoming very bored with Twitter.

I won't follow him but I'll peek every now and again, like I do with MW and KP.<br /><br />I enjoy Twitter for what it is. I think how you organize the accounts you follow make a huge difference in your experience. It would be impossible for me to make sense of it without Twitter Lists. I also think careful selection of who you follow makes or breaks experience, as some people are better than others in their updates, IMO. For example, I fave drivers who do their own updates. I get info; I get amusement; I can find someone on 24/7 if I want. I don't get into hissy matches, that IS a waste of time.Donna DeBoerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05794219924983285744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-9548816348722209502010-03-05T10:38:54.470-05:002010-03-05T10:38:54.470-05:00Just someone else I can avoid.

Don't understand why people want to share some of the stuff they do. Definitely posts that let folks know political leanings. Some folks give up info that doesn't exactly put them in a positive light. Changes your perception of them. Neither good nor bad. Just the more you know sometimes it takes the bloom off the rose :-).<br /><br />I have to hand it to Kyle P. He responds to lot of people. How long can he continue to do that? Seems time consuming, especially since some of it, IMHO, is pretty foolish. I like is racing related posts. To each his own.<br /><br />Right now, it is interesting reading DW...will see after a couple of days, especially during a race weekend.<br /><br />One thing, all this social media does create an interesting phenomena. In an instant something said on TV can be challenged or corrected. Can't believe they haven't figured all this out. Going to get harder and harder to BS folks or give incorrect info.
