Loved Kurt's story about Dale Sr. handing out his version of "pay back" when Kurt spun out Jr. Hilarious! Obviously Kurt has a short memory.<BR/><BR/>How about Tony Stewart as the next guest with Humpy and Buddy? Tony will lay it out in a forthright manner and forget the "P-C" version. Can't wait for that show! <BR/><BR/>My only complaint ... the show needs to be an hour long.

Given Humpy's past, I knew this would be an improvment on most of the Speed Network fare (read that Pinks - what a total waste of time), and I was not dissapointed. Many of us have been waiting for a format that allows the drivers to get out from under the 'corporate image' and be more themselves. The Humpy Show allows this to happen. I will be anxiously waiting for more 'Humpy'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-90081492258318256512008-02-13T14:06:00.000-05:002008-02-13T14:06:00.000-05:00YES!

The interesting thing that no one else has brought up is that both are current/former employees of Penske Racing. I've heard Buddy talking about working with Ryan Newman and others on Sirius radio.

I decided though to see what was going on and I enjoyed the show although it was an effort for me to sit through Kurt's stuff. Sorry, folks, i just don't like the guy. I did like the show and hope to see more of this kind of programming. It's the kind of things that keep NASCAR fans interested and Humpy is a great promoter -- I swear he channels PT Barnum some days.GinaV24https://www.blogger.com/profile/10828669350024430018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-3252731017609664192008-02-13T10:30:00.000-05:002008-02-13T10:30:00.000-05:00I thought this show was probably the best NASCAR p...I thought this show was probably the best NASCAR program since Beyond the Wheel was cancelled! I certainly hope SPEED picks it up full-time. Much better than more silly panel shows like Trading Paint or Trackside.<BR/><BR/>Excellent to hear Humpy lead the discussions between Baker and Busch.

And the pairing of legend/young gun I think makes it work. I don't know how well it would work with someone in their first couple of years, but a younger driver and a retired driver is wonderful. It's especially nice to stay away from predictable: for example, if you're going to have Tony Stewart on, the legend to pair him with is <B>NOT</B> Foyt, it's been done too much.<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to seeing what's next!piggie zeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10279251416269119387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-19066194487948250242008-02-13T09:18:00.000-05:002008-02-13T09:18:00.000-05:00What a thrill!

Humpy was fantastic - his demeanor, his questions, and his just plain letting the two guys talk was such a treat. Humpy has the right outlook and this is an excellent vehicle for drivers to be simply that: drivers with their own individual personalities and thoughts and ideas - scripted stuff is NOT good, especially in any sport. Emotions, feelings and thoughts run high and should be allowed to without restraint! You're good to go in my book Humpy! Thanks John - what a terrific show.chasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10751889821381250237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-15676865279737554952008-02-13T09:17:00.000-05:002008-02-13T09:17:00.000-05:00What a great show!
