What's wrong with Michael Waltrip? I always liked him, and he was always a little nuts, but in a fun harmless way. He started in on some subject that I don't even remember now, maybe he was objecting to some fan opinion somewhere, but it was this incoherent angry babbling that really made him seem like he was on drugs or just mentally had lost it. It was really uncomfortable to watch.<BR/><BR/>AmyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-79929551765845721772007-10-03T09:37:00.000-04:002007-10-03T09:37:00.000-04:00Krista Voda hosting INC, there is an interesting t...Krista Voda hosting INC, there is an interesting thought.

Im not a Mikey fan to say the least but I thought it was funny when he made a refrence about the Track Side post race show. He was of course talking about Jimmy Spencer taking issue with NASCAR re-starting the race after the red flag due to rain. Spencer was quite irate that NASCAR would restart the race knowing they couldnt finish it before dark. I couldnt figure that one out. What a crock!!

I think the chemistry between Biffle, Schrader and Waltrip has gotten very good and the show provides a very entertaining recap of Sunday's events. Even as a Waltrip fan I can agree that his attempts to be goofy and funny get a little tiresome sometimes. But the banter between Michael and Kenny is often priceless. Better than most network sitcoms.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
