Note to DW: Stay with the laryngitis gig, DW. It fits you well and gives us fans a reprieve from your inane bantering. Even with Hammond trying to sound as self-serving and imbecilic as you, it was a nice change.

Very true. When he did talk today, it was just the facts. None of the other BS!!!

If it wern't for Mountain Dew presenting him with his restored Bristol car, the FOX producer should have used the hook to remove him from the Hollywood Hotel set or have gotten one of the several highly qualified stand-ins available at the track.

When they gave DW the old Mountain Dew car, that was cool. I've seen pics of Junior's retro scheme he'll be using later this year and it looks allot like DW's car. That was the highlight of DW's day, and I agree, it should have ended there.

Permanently ???

I didn't see the beginning of the race, but did he attempt to do his now very old boogity spiel at the start of the race.

Hammond and Larry Mac did it ... and quite poorly I might add.

Do not diss the wall DW rules, you need that little bit of excitement at the start to get the blood flowing without it just wouldn't be NASCAR and this is one fan who dosen't like the fact that come july espn take over for the remainder of the season.

"BOOGITY, BOOGITY BOOGITY LET'S GO RACING BOYS!"

I don't need it, in fact I mute the TV at the beginning of each race just so I don't HAVE to hear it.

That was a cool moment. I liked DW the driver. DW the announcer has become very overdone.

I'm with you on Jr's retro car too! Very nice!

I have a question, is there an announcer that you guys like?

I think the NBC guys did a better job than Fox. BP and Dallenbach were more of a straight call duo, as opposed to the Hollywood that Fox does.

I think DJ has done well at NW series, and I look forward to his work this year.

Mike Joy is the absolute best in the booth in the announcer category. The best co-announcer he ever had was the late Larry Nuber.

The absolute worst announcer is, hands down, Bill Weber.

As far as commentators go, the best was either Ned Jarrett or Benny Parsons. Benny's brother, Phil, does a very passable job.

The worst commentators are DW and Larry McReynolds. DW for his shameless self-promotion; Larry Mac, not for the info his puts out (the guy is admittedly a mechanical guru) but for his delivery. His butchering of every grammar rule ever made drives me nuts.

Of course, that's all personal opinion.
