Eddie Cheever is very intelligent but not particularly a people's person. He does OK announcing but I think he's had a ton of coaching. Same goes for Scott although I think he was always more personable.

So you think Allen Bestwick is good to stay? He's good in my book but he's not the motorhead that the other two cats are. I mean he may still call college football games and he's hosted TV racing talk shows. Has a lot of radio experience as well so he's a pro announcer while the other two are the 'experts'.

You know who the best in the booth ever was? Tom Sneva. This guy told it like it was every time insulting slow and risky drivers while at the microphone. And he knew the racing side of the business like no other. He was apparently sacked because he wouldn't tone it down.

Eddie Cheever does seem to be cast somewhat from the same mold and I like him. Didn't always.
