While watching todays ARCA Racing Series Presented by ReMax and Menards race at Daytona, i came across something interesting.
Now some of you may not agree with me, or may say that i misunderstood what was said, well to all of you that say or think that i have one thing to say. GET YOUR OWN BLOG!!!
This is my blog and i'll say what i believe and what not. If i made a mistake with a fact, then you can say something about what i wrote.
Well anyway, after a early wreck, i believe it happen around lap twenty or so, involving the Number 22 of Dakoda Armstrong and the Number 81 of Craig Goess who are both rookies in the series. Darrell Waltrip, who was one of the three men in the SPEED Booth, and Phil Parsons started to got on Goess case because, after Armstrong was bumped by John Wes Townley while he was losing his right rear tire and sent up the race track, he made a last minute move to try and avoid Armstrong's car but instead hit the Number 22.
Waltrip and Parsons said that even know Goess was a rookie, that he should have known that if a car goes up the track at Daytona it would have to come back down. They would later admit that he did try to go low to avoid the number 22, but did it to late. In other words it was a normal rookie Mistake.
A Commercial break later, and while the field was under caution, Pit Reporter Wendy Venturini gave a report about how Danica Patrick had studied tapes of past races at Daytona that involved accidents like the one that unfolded to being out the caution. Waltrip and Parsons praised her for doing so, though she did according to them later on in the broadcast sustained some damage in the accident, and said how rookies and drivers with no experience should do the same.
Now thats not what got me mad and claiming that the Speed broadcasters, well more like Waltrip and Parsons has a double standard for regular rookies and Danica. While commenting about how Danica studied tapes either Parsons or Waltrip, i think it was Waltrip, said that rookies and drivers with no experience should be giving some slack when they do something wrong.
HELLO, about five minutes before you were getting on the case of a rookie who had made a ROOKIE MISTAKE, and now you are saying that they should be giving some slack?
What gives?
Since they were talking about Danica at the time, i guess DW was trying to say that if Danica makes a mistake or does something wrong it ok because she is a rookie, but if any OTHER ROOKIE makes a mistake or does something wrong they should have known better.
Can anyone else smell that Waltrip and Parsons has a double standard for Danica and other rookies.
