sauce drove kendall (http://www.cleveland.com/sports/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/sports/1082539899115513.xml)

an article / interview with TK about his beginnings in the booth, posted from wire reports.


"Well, they talked me into it (his first time in the booth for ABC, the day after a race), and I think the reason I did so well is that I was so hung over I didn't care what I said."


you gotta love this guy.

What do you not like about TK? Jerkins is the one who has to go.

What do you not like about TK? Jerkins is the one who has to go.Biased (needs to get off of PT's jock). Not funny. Not very "professional" (whatever that is these days). I don't really learn much from listening to him (surprising considering his extensive driving background).

They should both go, imo. Is Beekhuis available?

TK needs to be in the booth to liven things up, but he is best with a technical guy beside him. Pruett did that well (certainly a lot better than he did in the pits: Worst. Pit Reporter. Ever.) Beekhuis would be even better.

I'd take Parker too. Is he still doing drag racing these days??

Mario Andretti in the booth would be a HUGE added value.

He's a Bruno FanBoy, that explains most of it. :)

I like the fact that he assumes a higher level of understanding than his counterpart on ABC, I don't really need to know where the tires and steering wheel are located on a car anymore. He speaks his mind and I like that, it isn't always pretty, but it always refreshing to hear.

Parker is under contract with ABC/ESPN and Beekhuis is doing ALMS. :(

During a Boring Race, Tommy Kendall is the guy that kept me awake... During an Extremely active race with a lot of yellows, Tommy Kendall is the guy that kept me interested... I always WATCH the race,because I am a Non Apoligetic Champ Car fan... But I wait in anticipation to here what Kendall will say next

This past weekend he kept me from kicking my TV in listening to Jenkins...

I'd love Beekhius IN ADDITION to TK, Parker too, Varsha absolutely.. But I think Kendall is a great tension breaker !!

The biggest "mouth" is a subjective comment Crapper. Let's tune in and hear Bruno whine some more.

We like TK. Crapus needs to put down the crack pipe. :p

It would be good to get Jon back in the Champ Car pits where he belongs.

You'll be seeing Jon Beekhuis as a pit reporter for a few Champ Car races this season. I heard it from someone who is a position to know. ;)

That's very cool. I look forward to that. Fans could tell the Jon was a true Champ Car man, not just another paid talking head. :thumbup:

Tom Kendall pees out after lunch, more race and professional knowledge, than the rest of the talking heads combined.
