They were on the tailgate of that truck today.<BR/><BR/>I believe earlier in the year, ORP, Bill Davis said they needed to cover 2 or 3 races before the end of the season. I think at ORP going into that race they didn't have anyone on that truck either and someone stepped up at the last minute.<BR/><BR/>If Toyota was going to pull money, dont you think Skinner's truck would have been bare also?<BR/><BR/>Or if they were going to pull their sponsorship they would pull from the truck lower in the standings?<BR/><BR/>I know it doesnt present a good image to see the winning truck blank but thats 2 for 2 at M-ville. Setzer's truck was pretty bare earlier this year too.<BR/><BR/>Johnny wouldn't thank the sponsor if they were gone totally. Classy guy, but if your sponsor up and walks, you don't thank them.The Loose Wheelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06048709313597675807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-33430486137842722772008-10-18T21:04:00.000-04:002008-10-18T21:04:00.000-04:00JD: Although Mikey is improving, he still has tha...JD: Although Mikey is improving, he still has that annoying habit of ending many of his comments with the word <I>Phil</I>, as in "Phil Parsons."<BR/><BR/>Mikey has to always remember that he is talking to the TV audience, not just his expert analyst sidekick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-46950961548612359342008-10-18T18:46:00.000-04:002008-10-18T18:46:00.000-04:00"Benson went low in Turn 3 and put his unsponsored..."Benson went low in Turn 3 and put his unsponsored Bill Davis Racing Toyota under Hornaday and into the lead on Lap 155."

The Timothy Peters piece was outstanding. The race coverage was great as usual. It's great to see vehicles racing under green on my TV instead of full-screen video packages. It's great to hear useful pit reports about the handling of vehicles and pit strategies and not an excessive amount of forced reports about comments a driver or team member had days or weeks before the event. It's great to have a play-by-play announcer that actually calls the action and is genuinely excited by side-by-side racing for the lead, as opposed to one that only reads stats or lays out completely when there is action going on. It's also great to see the whole field cross the finish line at the end of the race with a real-time vertical drop-down of the finishing results, as opposed to a badly delayed and quickly disappearing horizontal display of 5 spots at a time and last week's "focus on the wife" approach immediately after the Cup winner crossed the line.<BR/><BR/>Major thanks to all the men and women involved in these Truck Series broadcasts on Speed. You should be very proud of yourselves because week in and week out you continuously put your competition to shame.stricklinfan82https://www.blogger.com/profile/01808897974344304657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-43012334845987863792008-10-18T17:33:00.000-04:002008-10-18T17:33:00.000-04:00Plus, he had on a TCUV firesuit ...
