I've seen them do this before. However I would prefer they wait a few minutes and have them change back into street clothes. Those suits are not that flattering, maybe it's the white. Or maybe it's the concept. I agree they should have split the picture however I liked the info DW and JH gave us. I think the box is pretty cool but I wonder how much of it is them wanting to feel like they are still racing.Newracefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324764517098771035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-89031405582725276512008-04-26T11:08:00.000-04:002008-04-26T11:08:00.000-04:00I really hope Rutledge reads this article.

With each lap lasting almost a minute, and the first of the two laps being the "get up to speed" lap, it left viewers rather bored. <BR/><BR/>I enjoyed the up close look at the different tricks they use at restrictor plate tracks. I think they were giving us good information.<BR/><BR/>However, I agree with you. A split screen would have been helpful, and those two do not need to be in fire suits on TV.Ritchiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884549705336979557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-71282483131076082452008-04-26T08:06:00.000-04:002008-04-26T08:06:00.000-04:00I don't like having to listen to folks having to y...I don't like having to listen to folks having to yell to be heard - guess DW will be losing his voice again soon!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02669662544814316500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-15518997300918300602008-04-26T06:38:00.000-04:002008-04-26T06:38:00.000-04:00Fox just LOVES their toys, don't they?

Trying to be heard over the roar of engines on track is seldom a good idea, as it drown out what is being said. I tuned in to watch practice, not an extensive rundown on things I've heard before. Particularly when it means I'm not seeing what was supposed to be practice. It's almost asif Fox has to find even more ways to show anything but the cars on the track. <BR/><BR/>I still can't figure out why they have Rutledge involved in anything at all, except for the 'fluff factor'.
