Waltrip in the booth last night, I turned it off.

Couldn't believe it this year.  Bad enough last year with him cheering on brother DW and his Tokyo funded Taayoota Tumdras.  It was rediculous last year and this year couldn't believe NASCAR (they call the shots, even on Fox) and Fox would allow this biased point of view.  You'd think they would think that "hey, Tayota just stuck $50 million in Mikeys pockets for his three car team, he needs to pay them back somehow, however he can---mickey had no money, he could barely keep his Aarons cars on the track with what he got from sponsorship, and they couldn't compete---minorleague funding.

I believe Waltrip is going to be in the booth for most of the truck races - at least the companion events with the Cup racing. I dislike him as much as the next guy, but all in all, he does bring some enthusiasm and excitement to the booth despite his gay voice. I don't find myself turning it off - especially since I knew the racing would be good.

I can't stand to hear him either. STFU. I was hoping that if he missed the cup race, he would pack up and go home! Bring back Bob Jenkins please!

I turned it off when i saw him in booth beginning of first truck race.  He is nothing more than a NASCAR and Tokyo cheerleader.  Can you imagine the amount of money those rice burner producers have put in his and brother mouth's pocket.  Could almost make anyone take the money and run, to hell with morals and ethics and history.

I'm sure this has some kind of meaning...to someone...somewhere...  I'm just not real sure what's immoral or unethical about starting one's own business.

And, I ain't got the slightest clue what that "and history" thing is supposed to mean.  I guess it's some kind of WWII reference.  But, that wouldn't make sense, as tatnell doesn't seem to have a problem with Der Fuhrer's Dodges.

Hey Gordon Fan, why don't you grow up, Just because Michael Waltrip is having a shitty season, doesn't mean you can degrade him for it. I would like to see you step behind the wheel of a NASCAR and try to fund a team.

I am not of fan of Toyota being here either, but just because he switched teams doesn't give you the right to talk *** about him.

How about you STFU [:stfu]
