We got a great glimpse of DW tonight, and I was impressed, mostly because I agreed with everything he said. :-)<br /><br />Too bad contemplative DW doesn't often show up on TV during the FOX portion of the Cup schedule. He's much better than product-shilling DW.<br /><br />OK, I've revised my Wind Tunnel co-host line-up. It should be one week per month each for Miller, Shrader, DW and Varsha. Dave Despain is very good on his own, but he absolutely comes alive when he has a co-host.<br /><br />I thoroughly enjoyed DW and WT tonight.<br /><br />--KarenBkbaskinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16702833105161999749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-10832374492501718672009-07-19T21:49:57.245-04:002009-07-19T21:49:57.245-04:00DW's bromance with Kyle B is ova!

Why because DW said so, too? No because Jeremy is DOCUMENTING EVERYTHING.<br /><br />He may be guilty indeed but as mentioned, one judge overturned NASCAR's suspension, and Jeremy is collecting lots of ammunition.<br /><br />And as a savvy attorney type posted here, would cost a fortune for this to go on in court and take MONTHS to even get to court. THINK how many more interviews JM could do before then. <br /><br />I do wish Dave would've asked about TV coverage of the races to DW but he did not.<br /><br />DW is always fun on WT but this needed to last longer.<br /><br />Love Robin Miller, too.Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789033556426951026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-67876715888847235762009-07-19T19:04:50.576-04:002009-07-19T19:04:50.576-04:00Richard in NC

I think he's still honest, but some topics are not to be addressed, or not to be addressed in too much depth. I always thought NBC did something similar to BP, and made him obscure his Southern background. BP on PRN on Monday was different than BP on NBC on Sunday.<br /><br />I really look forward to seeing DW on Wind Tunnel. It seemed to me last year when the Dale, Jr. - DEI situation was going on that sometimes DW would drop hints about things he had learned, and he has an awful lot of contacts.<br /><br />When I have remembered to check, I really have enjoyed the post-TV internet extension of Wind Tunnel, but I thought it was longer than 30 minutes at first.Richard in N.C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-21315601569685576642009-07-19T18:18:01.551-04:002009-07-19T18:18:01.551-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.votethedayhttp://www.votetheday.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-8726225592159510502009-07-19T17:45:12.417-04:002009-07-19T17:45:12.417-04:00I am sure Darrel the shill has his scripts already...I am sure Darrel the shill has his scripts already approved by Toyota and that rental place.

I don't always agree with him, and in fact sometimes think he is crazy, but I love listening to a candid DW. If Despain can get that person as a guest (as opposed to politically-correct-Waltrip), then it will be a great show.

Honestly.<br /><br />I would love to see what DW honestly thinks of the state of the Truck and NW series right now. Start and parks are obvious but so are blank race cars and only handfuls of competitive, race-winning quality teams in each series. Would enjoy hearing his take on what he thinks should be done if anything to improve both products.<br /><br />Also, seeing as its next month I think...The Whelen Modifieds on Bristol...Not sure if he himself has addressed that before.The Loose Wheelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06048709313597675807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-37063670220452713242009-07-19T01:53:02.016-04:002009-07-19T01:53:02.016-04:00Anon 12:59AM,
