Even if JB only adds a little to the broadcast , it will be more than the man he replaces. I'm sure of one thing, the SPEED/FOX execs who hire the Waltrips don't watch all of the shows they are on because if they did , they too would be sick of them, period.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-31739164753855720762009-09-02T02:53:30.207-04:002009-09-02T02:53:30.207-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789033556426951026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-43384630237041027052009-09-02T02:13:50.383-04:002009-09-02T02:13:50.383-04:00I am extremely pleased that JB is gong to get this...I am extremely pleased that JB is gong to get this opportunity. I understand the reservations of those who commented that he might not bring "excitement" to the booth considering his very mellow and sometimes downright quiet demeanor on the old IWC/INC shows. To that I would counter with let's let Johnny be Johnny and see how it turns out. Not everybody has to act like a giggly little schoolgirl to be a good color commentator. ;-) If Benson brings good, concise observations to fill in what we cannot perceive from the pictures alone, what more could we ask when the other two in the booth supply more than enough outward (and genuine) "enthusiasm?"<br /><br />The main thing will be this. If JB is not good in the booth no matter how much most NASCAR fans like and respect him, will Speed do the right thing and not ask him to return...you know, unlike a big mistake that another network has been making for three years now with a guy we all like and respect but who is boring most of us to tears. ;-)KoHoSohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457687879505057220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-25746631422528500342009-09-01T22:22:57.773-04:002009-09-01T22:22:57.773-04:00Sounds like a great idea to meSounds like a great idea to meNewracefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324764517098771035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-52128520856901442602009-09-01T21:09:50.294-04:002009-09-01T21:09:50.294-04:00Like Benson, like Waltrip with the trucks.
