It was during a media availability at Talladega. We were all shooting questions at Jeff Gordon, but Mr. Hinton definitely asked the most (and the best). Always insightful and a great co-host with Dave on WT. I wish ESPN would let Ed be himself, though, so he could lose the coat and tie. He looked VERY uncomfortable. Same goes for Marty Smith.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-22362769128232080092008-08-29T07:05:00.000-04:002008-08-29T07:05:00.000-04:00This is a real coup for ESPN to get Ed Hinton.

Ed Hinton is fantastic and it's great to see someone who's not afraid of the powers-that-be in Nascar, and not afraid to say what fans have been yelling about for two years. No pablum, just plain and simple opinions that don't jive with the official Nascar mantra.
