Make sure to mention the sponsors, thank the team, hold the pop bottle a certain way, it's a broken record every time. And it's sickening.
Name one driver who doesn't do all of that? The driver that doesn't do that would not have a job. Johnson, for example, is being paid millions of dollars to get his sponsor's name out there. That's his job. And how would you feel if you worked 10 hours a day 7 days a week all season to put winning race cars under the driver, and he not one single time mentions the guys at the shop? You'd be pissed and so would I.
Cale Yarborough, the Allisons, the King, Kulwicki, now those were interviews. They got out of the car, were dirty and sweating, kissed the Winston girl, had a beer, and cussed. Can you tell I'm old school!?
There is no Miss Winston anymore, Al. And if you watch close enough, when Kurt Busch wins, he does indeed have a Miller in Victory Lane. I suspect Kahne has a beer too, although I haven't seen him win anything lately.
The driver's do not get greasy because they are paid to drive the race car. There will never be another Kulwicki, and to be honest, I'm glad. Yeah Tony Stewart may be the next owner/driver to win, but it won't be the same thing because Stewart doesn't work on his race car. So I'm glad there will never be another Kulwicki because he died at the top of his game, and no one should ever take that away from him.
I have no problems disliking Johnson, but what you said is your reasoning, means you hate every driver in Cup today because that's exactly how each one of them would act.
