D.W., tell me again how your racing babe turned the corner at Kansas

Don't get me wrong, I do NOT miss either Waltrip in the race broadcast. In fact, Pocono was enjoyable without those two. But I do remember D. W. going into the long discussion about how "she" turned the corner with the run in Kansas and again at Charlotte and something about Stewart-Haas finally giving her some good equipment. Man, today looked like she turned a corner alright. Just not sure in which direction. I guess without her biggest cheerleader hogging the mic in the broadcast booth a 38th place finish doesn't look all that bad.

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.

I taped the race today had to work but loved it when i got home and watched it it was realy good no DW family on the air

Don't get too proud now, Legend. By this time next year, she'll have a win on a non-restrictor plate track. It's gonna happen, even if NASCAR has to give her one of the King's super-sized engines. Her equipment is too good, and her market value is too high to let the opportunity pass. She has talent on big ovals, so maybe Michigan, Texas or Fontana. Daytona and Talladega are free-for-all's so any wins there don't count.

The girl is getting better. She only has one top 10 finish this year but has been up that high during several races. She'll be lucky to have three career wins but we can expect to see her mixing it up on occasion. She runs a long game, pacing herself to be up by attrition. Unfortunately, she hits a lot of stuff so she never gets a payoff on that strategy. She's making millions and running at the top levels of the sport, so she's got all of us beat from the get-go.

PS: Pocono was either the 2nd or 3rd race I've watched all year. It's because the Waltrips weren't there. I think the coverage was much worse than a Fox race, but it was worth it. I been watching races on TV since the Sixties so my standards for a decent broadcast are pretty low. I was satisfied with Bud Lindemann's Car & Track.

Thanks for taking time to comment on this post Andy. Although we don't happen to agree on the talent of D.W.'s Babe, I respect your opinion.
