Countdown to Green


Two minutes into the show and one of the talking heads refers to the
drivers as athletes. I am sorry but, these guys are not athletes. The
just drive the car. The guys jumping the wall could be considered
athletes.

Speed vs ESPN .. Speed does it all the time. And dont even
bother to e mail Speed or call them .. They never will talk live
and the odds of getting an e mail response .. a million to 1..
Oh SPEED IS OWNED BY FOX

Not sure that this supports your point, but I recall seeing Jimmy
Spencer hurdle the inside wall at Bristol on the run.

Great quote from an ex-athlete who knows racing...."This is not a stick and ball sport....You just
don't go 'play' racing......" (Brad Daugherty - ESPN)
