I am so ready for him to retire.

Come on,
No love for the Mummy?
He does have a bit of "The Favre" in him?

Couldn't agree with you more.

Great race tonight, well except for Kyle's wreck (he did a very good interview for being so upset)
....go Ragan!

I am so tired of hearing Mark talk about how scared he was during qualifying. Really? I think you loose the right to be scared when you are doing it every week for 100 years!!!

Great race. Congrats David!!!

Just because someone does something constantly doesn't mean they don't get scared doing it.

A stock car set up for qualifying is normally set up loose as heck, and the driver is doing a slide job for two laps.

What was the line?

If you say you aren't scared, you are lying-or dead?

I'm not saying it isn't scary...I'm just tiring of hearing it And espically when he is putting it on the pole, week after week. NASCAR tendency to root against the guy doing it best.

yeah 'cuz clearly he can't cut it anymore

[RICHARD]

Holy Crap,
Just tuned into the qual runs for the Indy Car race in Sonoma. Will Power hit car that had spun out on a blind corner.
Tossing a prayer out to both drivers!

That's not it at all. I am SO tired of listening to him. I turned the radio off today during his pre-race interview. I mute the TV when he is on. He drives me crazy. Like was previously mentioned by someone else, I can't stand his post qualifying interviews lately either. I think he is full of baloney (and maybe bologna too.) He just rubs me the wrong way. I've listened to his scanner. He wants everyone to pull over for him because he is trying to get in the chase. He had his "farewell tour" years ago. I'm just ready for him to be gone. I even like Junior better than him, and believe me, that's saying a lot! But I know that is the beauty of NASCAR, there are drivers we love and drivers we love to hate and drivers we just hate. He happens to fall into that last category in my house. I'm glad there are others that like him though.

[Lady's Human]

Tony Stewart Whines on the scanner, Jeff Gordon whines, Jr Whines, Robby Gordon whines.

I've heard Mark complain about other drivers. Mainly under the heading of "Why is XXX runnin me so hard, it's lap 15?"

He drives clean, drives against other drivers the way they do to him, it used to be incredible watching Mark/Earnhardt Sr/Rusty run against each other.


They rubbed each other, but rarely punted each other.


I love Mark's comments about burnouts...."Man, those are stupid. If these kids had to FIX those engines after a race they wouldn't do that."

[Moesha]

I understand the whining. I've heard Mark tell his spotter to talk to others to tell their driver to get out of his way because he is racing to get in the chase. I think that is tacky. There are lots of drivers that complain on the scanner, and I don't criticize them for that. And there are lots of clean racing drivers. I've been around to watch the old school drivers race. I've been a Bill Elliott fan since the mid 80s. I never cared much for Mark and for the last few years he has really rubbed me the wrong way. I'm not asking that others agree with my feelings, just voicing mine. I'm sorry if I offended anyone. That wasn't my intent.

[Lady's Human]

The WORST whiner on the radio is Danica Patrick in traffic.

She gets to NASCAR, I'm blocking her channel.

Martin, Earnhardt Sr, the Labontes, Gant, would all give each other breaks at times if it didn't affect them.

With the exception of a few, that seems to be gone.
