Yes,And those automatic toilet paper dispenser-wipers are a pain as well!

They normally perspire so heavily, the need to urinate rarely occurs. And yes they have pissed themselves, particularly in earlier days when races took longer.

Last year I said that Fox's pre-race coverage couldn't get worse. After watching the Digger episode, I can accurately say that I was wrong.

What about Tony when he won that Sonoma race sick as a dog and had to jet to his motor home immediately? I would have hated to see the inside of that racing suit.:sick:

i was thinking the same thing. Fox and sports are an awful mix. The only way this could be worse iss if they found something for Tim McCarver to do.

Rowdy lookin good. I wonder if Speed will go with Newman and Stewart or if he'll just stay to the back.

Was it just me or was that a horrible National Anthem? And is that bottle of Coke Zero superglued to Jamie McMurray's hand?

Plus it looked like they dragged him out of some homeless shelter.

I wonder if the fan that won the contest a while back to name that rodent gets any royalties from all the Digger stuff FOX is shoving down our necks.

The camera angle is cool, but that is all, just the angle.
