In the junior series, he last raced at Atlanta in 2005, started 23rd and finished 27th in Mikey's #98 Bryan Foods Chevy. Also in 2005 he drove in all 25 truck races with 1 win (Loudon), 1 pole, 4 top fives and 11 top tens.<BR/>Thanx to http://racing-reference.info/ <BR/><BR/>Tom in Bristol...who agrees with Jimmy (for a change) that J.

It was his bio for the SPEED Road tour challenge (this info used to be on speedtv.com when that show was on).<BR/><BR/>(I also don't think he should be able to move from comedy guy to reporter in a matter of weeks, that is what appears to be happening.)<BR/>-----------------------<BR/>I graduated from the University of Georgia in 2002 with a degree in Marketing. First job out of school was working for Country Music Television (CMT) driving a huge truck around the country with their "Most Wanted" tour. Loved the crowds, loved making people smile. Then I spent a year with Clear Channel Communications producing and co-hosting a daily talk show in Mid-West GA. I got up before daylight every day and interviewed interesting people. I sharpened my DJ and mic skills hosting a weekly Karaoke/Comedy show in Newnan,GA at a club called the Alamo. Loved the crowds and making people smile. I started working for SPEED in Feb. of 2005 on the Need for SPEED Road Tour. still love the crowds and making people smile!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-91283349243840105172008-03-02T15:22:00.000-05:002008-03-02T15:22:00.000-05:00Anon 3.14I hope you are correct about Jamie!

Being around every weekend for RaceDay was a big boost to their garage contacts, IMO.<BR/><BR/>Jimmy got to attempt some qualifying laps in a couple of Cups car and rarely made the races. So he's no longer being used as a sub - I don't recall if he was used at all in that capacity in 2007.<BR/><BR/>So I think he's just a bit bitter because he feels like he could still be called on to run some races here and there. He's also forgetting that sponsors may have a say in who gets in those rides, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-30746234406770010212008-03-02T15:10:00.000-05:002008-03-02T15:10:00.000-05:00Ok...going to be another long day with Google/blog...Ok...going to be another long day with Google/blogger issues.<BR/><BR/>Trouble here and with my site and another blogger site I read. <BR/><BR/>Google has always been SO RELIABLE it's annoying to find problems suddenly.

The FCC definitely holds the over the airwaves broadcast to a different standard than that of a only cable/satellite offering.

Unlike some of her counterparts, she obviously has the trust of the drivers. Right now, I'm sitting in a suite at LV Speedway and during yesterday's race when Jamie interviewed Kyle Busch, everyone here started commenting on how bad and totally unprofessional she was. The comments only got worse when she interviewed Tony Stewart after his wreck. It's obvious when you read the body language of the drivers and you hear their answers that they have more respect for Wendy and they have very little patience for Jamie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
