New Subject, favorite announcer

[Bigbuck]

Thought I should start another subject, no more talking about you know who. So who does everyone prefer as a race announcer, Kyle Petty or Darrell Waltrip? Remember, we're talking about race annoucers, now who you liked better as a driver. I wont say who I like, I cant take another bashing today. LOL

[Bigbuck]

o'k

I'll get this going, I like Waltrip.

[billy badd]

DW. billy

[Winger]

Can't stand DW as an announcer. Petty is much better IMO. This is a discussion that can't be won though. Everyone has a different favorite for different reasons. I remember years ago when Ned Jarrett announced and I thought he did a very good job and was impartial. I had a friend who couldn't stand him and thought he spent all his time talking about his son, which I didn't believe he did.

[Edm]

No offense but they both suck.

[flvideo]

DW of course.

[VeaseyRacing]

I like DW because he knows what he is talking about. Lot of wisdom. But as far being a "true" announcer, he is not.

I like Ned Jarrett, Mike Joy, and Dick Berggren

[openwm53]

definately

Fox and DW and larry Mac

[Jimmy McKinley]

OK, Don, you asked for it

You said, "race announcers".

You didn't say, "TV announcers"

Chip Green at Palm Beach and Hialeah.

Dickie Edwards and Jack Miller at Golden Gate when it reopened in '81.

Bob Schmidt and the original "Larry Mac", Larry MacMillan at Sunshine and Inverness.

On TV, I *loved" Neil, Ken, Benny, and David Hobbs when they did their CBS gigs.

Bob Jenkins and Larry Nuber on ESPN when they did Thursday Night Thunder.

Steve Evans on TNN covering the ASA, All-Pro, ACT, and SCC races at Nashville and Sanair.

Can't really stand any of 'em on TV now.

sorry I asked between Darrell Waltrip and Kyle Petty. No problem.

yeah Jarrett, Joy and Berggren are good. Kyle Petty is ok but he drives my crazy with his, "and, and, and, and, and" Just a little thing. Anyone notice today how he couldnt keep the car #'s straight. Hey, I'm just jeolous, he made more $ today than I will all yr!!!

[Bigbuck]

Hey

Just internet chatter right?? Everyone has their own opinion, thats a good thing.

[dibbs7j]

DW just because he gave David Reutimann a shot to drive for his truck series team. Or just mute the tv and listen to the scanner on nascar.com some of those spotter, crew cheif and driver conversations are funny.

[Edm]

I like Ned Jarrett, Mike Joy, and Dick Berggren

These three are pretty good along with Dr Jerry Punch but Dw is obnoxious.

[RSB]

I don't watch much NASCRAP but I like Petty and DW "okay", I guess. At least they're old racers and know what they're talking about most of the time.
As for "local" announcers, I like any of them that do most of their talking while the race cars are on the BACKSTRETCH! I absolutely HATE when they're announcing drivers names when the cars are coming down the front straight!!!
Also, I noticed last night that the announcer at LCS is pretty good.....NOT!!!!!LOL!
