Yeah. tell me about it. I remember the first time the champion got a million dollars. That was a BIG deal. Now it takes 10 million to field a start and park team. If people would get their lazy asses off thge couch and go to a local short track they would realize what racing is all about.......... Its worse thsn watching the Oscars... Who's wearing what?? Give me a Fu**in break...
If you're driving on the edge... You're trespassing on my property!!!!!!!

I'm sorry.  This is all my fault.  I finally get "SPEEDTV" and a satellite dish and they put out this trash.

The show would have been good on video and sent to the sponsors.

Put the same crew in a fire hall, forbid cameras, and have free beer.  I'd pay to go to that party.

Actually the abbreviated Truck/Nationwide part was ok, because it was "entertainment"-free.  Todd's speech was excellent. From 9 on it was....well.....I had a nice nap.

My wife and I made it through about 20 min's of that drivel. She finally begged me to change the channel.

I was really surprised at how weak the entertainment was. All the friggin money nascar has, that was the best they could come up with, WTF?

Lastly, I totally agree, who gives a fly-ing F**K what brand of suit or gown your wearing!!!!!

Funniest part was seeing Gordon's wife tower over him. He looks about 4'-8" standing next to her LMFAO.

Come on Daytona!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I honestly don't remember the banquet ever being fun to watch. So, I don't,and haven't, in years.
