Thanks for the context @PPistone. Guessing Greenberg's column is the newsprint version of what today is called "clickbait".
I can speak clearly working here in Chicago media radio, TV and print for a lot of years that Greenberg is the quintessential big city sports writer who finds literally everything and anything wrong including with teams in the city-that’s his brand so not surprised by this take.

Hi JP, thanks for the kind words. Hope you're doing well.
Bob was & always will be one of the greatest voices to call a nascar race. Bob, Ken Squier, and MRN’s Barney Hall were all in class to themselves. Also consider former CBS, current @NASCAONFOX host Mike Joy to be right there with them. All had a relaxing, let it breathe approach.

Thanks, I don't think so. Each national/touring series deserves its own dedicated booth. @JamieLittleTV and @mw55 have a very difficult role, with a different third talent every race, and the challenges of remote telecasts. I was happy to play a small role, and enjoyed the day!.

LOL. that's one take, unscripted, no prompter and no notes, Chris. I previously reviewed available footage and photos; those were edited in afterward. great work by Aaron Suissa and Rich Gross. @FOXSports.
@kaitlynvincie @mikejoy500 @limerockpark Does he have a teleprompter or is he doing this extemporaneously while knowing the media piece that’s been prepared?.

Thanks @JamieLittleTV for a great introduction Saturday. Camera 7 at the base of the infield hillside has the wide shot, then zooms in toward me. Camera op @rooftopRay Wenzel, before he got rich & famous in TV, was crew chief on my Valvoline Sports Racer. Thanks Ray! @FOXSports.

Thanks to @limerockpark, Rich Gross & Aaron Suissa for pulling together all the Lime Rock historical footage and photos. What a great weekend! I spoke to many people who frequent area short tracks (ovals) but told me it was their first time at LRP, and they want to come back.

Thanks for the kind words. We all had a fantastic weekend at @limerockpark. Its a magical place for racers and race fans.
The talents of @mikejoy500 never cease to amaze me! I loved this historical look back at @limerockpark, told with the passion and enthusiasm that Mike is known for. I highly recommend everyone see a race at this special place.

.@RickMast22 offers a great tribute to Travis Carter's savvy as a crew chief and later, car owner. Travis was a quiet-spoken leader, highly respected throughout the garage area. Sad news.
In 1989 Travis Carter, while in a desperate situation trying to save his team, took a chance on an unproven, unpolished rookie race car driver at @DAYTONA. He was rewarded with running up front, leading, and a 6th place finish. (Could’ve won had we gambled on fuel like Darrell
