IRL Commentators
Who are the series commentators this year, will it still be Bob Jenkins, Buddy Rice & Jason Priestley. I actually thought Priestley did an ok job last year, didn't embarras himself

I liked Priestly alot. He kept the telecasts light and fun. It was almost like he wasn't part of the team, but one of the guys sitting in the living room with you and having a brew.
I saw news that he will be in the IPS next year, so that is good for him, the IRL and us. Having a high profile celebrity in the Infinity series will only help, particularly if some hollywood producer can work a TV storyline around it. Sadly, we are going to be forced to endure Paul Page's nonsensicle blatherings. He has spent that last ten years butchering every telecast I have seen. I don't know why they didn't get Froto and Bilbo instead of this guy. It's going to really take the stuffing out of the telecasts. Last year's were fun and informative. Jason for fun, Larry to give us the technical data and driver's perspective and Bob to do the action. Now we get Page's drivel. It doesn't even matter who is in the booth with him unless it's Bobby Unser and he punches him out right before they go on the air. Page is just going to ruin it. I'll be rooting for Unser. |

I remember seeing a quote from Jack Arute , saying that watching tennis was like watching motorsport, , forget the rest but wasn't complimentary! A result of him being fired?
