However, JD's preview of TNT's show mentioning Harry Gant got my attention, and I made it a point to watch it. <BR/><BR/>I was somewhat disappointed. While I enjoyed the conversation in general, I was looking forward to hearing Harry's views on the things now going on in the sport, (as JD thought might take place). Oh well, I still enjoyed seeing, and hearing one of NASCAR's 50 Greatest Drivers.Rockin Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401306989231204937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-43890923985771081402008-06-29T17:02:00.000-04:002008-06-29T17:02:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-72004084436478612362008-06-29T14:27:00.000-04:002008-06-29T14:27:00.000-04:00rat's I missed the Gant interview I was looking fo...rat's I missed the Gant interview I was looking forward too...but have to get things done before a long race.Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789033556426951026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-16541714913893251942008-06-29T14:09:00.000-04:002008-06-29T14:09:00.000-04:00Shoot!

A few weeks ago they did an interview with Montoya and John Roberts reminded JPM at the end about the new Wrigley's gum - apparently it's jumbo sized or whatever. JPM was like, oh yeah thanks for reminding me and held a box of gum up on camera. JPM had mentioned Juicy Fruit during the interview because it was on his car/firesuit that week but I guess that wasn't enough, there must have been some agreement that he show the product on RaceDay. It was weird and I hope this doesn't become a trend.

I take it you have never been involved or listened to somebody that did EXOTIC ANIMAL RESCUE for a living.<BR/><BR/>A monkey on a leash at a loud race for SEVERAL hours constitutes abuse. You do not have to be a radical PETA person to recognize it.<BR/><BR/>I have been involved with veterinarians over the years and can assure you, given "camera time" to this poor mammal was a bad choice for a NASCAR show as it emphasizes the stupid redneck image most have tried to over come. And sorry if I do not find it funny at all. <BR/><BR/>I consider it PART of the broadcast discussion since I find it distasteful. I turned on TNT and am enjoying the chemistry of the guys.<BR/><BR/>Folks used to be amused by bear wrestling and drinking beers (the bear) so trust me, it is NOT far fetched to imagine the monkey drinking beer but there are a plethora of reasons this was a BAD MOVE by SPEED to put this on camera.<BR/><BR/>Off soapbox.<BR/><BR/>Sorry JD but if they make it part of the show, I am going to comment.
