ESPN makes such a mess of reporting that it is like a breath of fresh air to see someone from the old school tell it the right way. Speed will always win over the other stations because they have the clientele that knows their stuff. Others ask questions, read guidelines and depend on others to help them out but Speed is WONDERFUL AND VERY KNOWLEDGABLE ABOUT NASCAR!!!!!!! Thanks again, Jimmy.

Jimmy did not remind us that "he" once sat on the pole at Indy as other self centered commentators would have done.

He didn't choose to retire, Cup changed and went younger and multi team. He is the last of the true independents and that is where the problem begins & ends.<BR/>The more he tells it like it is, the more he will become personna non grata on TV. The rebel image works only for so long. Money talks$$$$ and car owners will be less likely to come on & do group interviews with this broadcast team. Unlike his peers who won more money and titles (ie: Elliott, Labonte), who get called to use their champions exemption, JS is on the outside looking in. Spencer is Kyle Petty without the pony tail & pedigree. Given his choice, I'm sure he would rather be driving on Sundays, Spencer reminds me of the old bombastic John Madden who was great at being the master of the obvious. That was decades ago & the shelf life for that style of analyst is about one good season. JS isn't a journalist and shouldn't be put in that position. He should be allowed to be a observer and comment on what his opinion his. Let the journalists ask the tough questions, one on one. Just my view.
