As some of you know, I'm not just a tv analyst, but also mnr's ast racing sec.
And lately we've had difficulty filling entries, which means I'm needed downstairs in the racing office at night. Not just to supervise the crew and official draw, but to hustle and help close entries.
Long before tv came along, I made my rep as a unique and innovative race hustler. As officials go, I'm not a peacetime soldier.
I do expect the problem to abate soon, and expect to be back on the show full time.
Kudos to Nance for covering. One-person shows can be drudgery.
I'd be honored if you guys checked out my latest blog. The company has asked for more content from me, and I intend to oblige.

Please tell me that you have Nancy and Berry working overtime in the grandstand clocking trainers for you so you can go Dog the Bounty Hunter on them when they refuse to take your call.

That's good. Mark and Nancy are what makes the Mountaineer telecast unique.
Who's the new announcer?

I can't imagine a track our size being blessed with a better race-caller.

Actually, I'm the good cop. But then again, so is Joe. We both use carrots-never the stick.
