I say that with all respect, and having read everything above.<BR/><BR/>When Uncle Dan tried to mention that people were cranky, which if you can read, they clearly are, he was almost reprimanded.<BR/><BR/>It's ok to say these people are cranky. Just like it's ok to say you don't like someone. It's also ok to speak your voice positive, or negative.<BR/><BR/>The show was fun and entertaining. I enjoyed seeing some of the older bloopers and outtakes to see what some of the driver's looked like back in the day.<BR/><BR/>Just like a few others have said before, Rutledge is fun. He is a breath of fresh air. What would you guys rather see? The same old guys, almost talking in monotone, for hours, about the same stuff, every weekend ?<BR/><BR/>I don't. Contrary to what most of you think, it's ok to be different. It's ok to laugh, it's ok to smile. He obviously enjoys what he's doing, and believe it or not, there's a lot of people that do.<BR/><BR/>I think if you ever meet him at the track, you'll see why fans like him so much, and trust me, they do like him. He doesn't take himself too seriously, unlike some of you on here.<BR/><BR/>And have any of you payed attention to how much the drivers like him? They're the ones racing every weekend when you guys are apparently begrudging everything people do about NASCAR.<BR/><BR/>And in case anyone forgot, yeah, it costs money to put on shows. People sponsor things. Toyota paid for a fun show and that's what they've got. If you don't like it, I don't think anyone that really did will lose any sleep over it.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the sport people. It's here for our amusement and our entertainment. I'll say again, ENTERTAINMENT. Just like baseball, football, or even bowling.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for having a place where people can agree and disagree freely. That, just like new programming on any of my favorite NASCAR channels, is refreshing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-75852237028089385552008-02-08T12:41:00.000-05:002008-02-08T12:41:00.000-05:00I loved the show....It's was quite entertaining......I loved the show....It's was quite entertaining...The only things that drove me nuts were, every time they'd come back from commercial we'd be subjected to...Welcome back to Nascar in 30 seconds brought to you by Toyota" .....and the darn fan "ventalator" or whatever it's call kept spinning in the back ground. plus....it's like they'd go...."Action " Ruthlege would start talking and some stage hand would unplug the fan and you'd see it slowing winding down in speed.....LOL<BR/><BR/>Over all, great show though!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-36772161706509378912008-02-08T10:58:00.000-05:002008-02-08T10:58:00.000-05:00The show was o.k.

It is not about product placement besides the deal with Tony and Toyota who has every right as they are sponsoring the show. You guys need to calm down. If it doesn't sound interesting....then don't watch it. If you don't like Rut, which I'm not a fan either, then don't watch or fast forward past his on camera parts which most likely will just be going to and coming back from a real commercial break. JD is reading too much into this as well with his comment..."It will be interesting to see how this show rolls-out, what it tries to accomplish, and just how well it is received." It is not trying to accomplish anything other than give fans a look back and it's an hour time slot to fill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-19034931151948925582008-02-07T13:34:00.000-05:002008-02-07T13:34:00.000-05:00I must have been distracted by something shiny...m...I must have been distracted by something shiny...my response was still in my tab, guess I never sent it :)<BR/><BR/>I love Rutledege!
