I noticed two things during last Sunday’s broadcast of the Pocono 500. Fox’s Digger was nowhere to be found, and Bill Weber wasn’t so bad after all.

I wonder if the two are connected?

The TNT race booth combo of Weber, Wally Dallenbach and Kyle Petty did a nice job, I think. Now I don’t profess to be a student of such things, Like Daly Planet’s John Daly or On Pit Row’s Steve Wronkowicz. For one thing, I tend to fall asleep too often.

But I found myself more tolerant of little things that used to bother me about these guys, because none of them was having a make-believe conversation with a cartoon beaver. If Kyle starts talking to RaceBuddy, I’m out.

And this week, I get my NASCAR live and up close at Michigan International Speedway. I’ll just have to stay away from the Fox Sports souvenir trailer.
