Anybody else catch Whit's............ (2 Viewers)

NO it was not directed at YOU!

OK, no harm, no foul. I didn't take it personally, like I said...

All is good in my world, since it doesn't exist on the internet.

anybody notice how much press whit's (matco tools) gotten lately?
I'm sure Don S. and Whit have!
might had to have taken a punch to start it all (and a few timely comments)
but he's been in the limelight quite a bit lately.
not all together a bad thing when fighting (pun intended) for exposure
with 30+ other professional teams.

Whit's a smart guy, no matter what anyone says. I'm hardcore JFR, but I respect Bazemore a lot, whether or not he'll admit the same for his nemises(sp?).

i missed it but id expect nothing less out of whit. isnt he still on probation. i think hes caused enough trouble this year to get the boot.

 

[T.Smith]

Geez, somebody start passin' out the skirts in here.

 

[Toejam]

And I am sure the haters will blame Whit for that too!

So what....he flipped him the bird. Noone knows what was behind that. Until ya do.....SUSH already with every little move Whit makes. It may have been in jest. It may be a joke between them. It may be none of the above. Ooooh...it's about the "children"....yeah right! Ya don't think they see that on an expressway daily? Go to a Toys R Us at Christmastime....see how well behaved the public is. Whit can't be lookin for a camera every time he moves to make sure noone sees him. C'mon.....we live in the real world not some PC bubble. Quit trying to shelter so much.

Ginger are you going to Spank us???

 

[speedster]

i didnt see the bird thing? no biggie we flip each other off every day
the only thing i thought was tasteless was when mike dunn asked who the most overrated funny car driver was and whit said the guy with the t.v. show???
class less and mike should be ashamed for trying to stir up s$&t when it;s not needed!

 

[Hiproger]

Unfortunately Mike's got a boss too, a dude that may or may not even know drag racing, tellin him to stir the s--t............"HIP"

 

[speedster]

i agree with that! drama makes good tv ratings
just trying to make it like nascar where people are talkin crap on the mic and throwin helmets flip people off and whatever else they can find to stir it up!

Whit's reply

I wasn't even aware this thread existed until I got a note from Judy Stropus (Whit's PR person) asking me to post this statement from Whit:

STATEMENT FROM WHIT BAZEMORE REGARDING RECENT REPORTS OF HIS MAKING AN INAPPROPRITE GESTURE TO SCOTT KALITTA AT INFINEON RACEWAY:

I was not making an inappropriate gesture to anyone. I was telling a young fan to wait a minute while I went back into the trailer to retrieve a Sharpie. If you study the TV footage in slow motion you can see that it is clearly my index finger. It does look suspect in real time, but I would never flip someone off in the presence of fans, especially young ones, who had started to crowd around when I walked out behind the car to pack the parachute. Plus, I do not know Scott Kalitta well enough to make that kind of gesture, even jokingly, and I had no reason to do it anyway.

I am extremely disappointed in ESPN's lack of discretion to air something that is so misleading.

Whit Bazemore

 

[Rollout96]

Well.... There ya' go...

 

[swervin]

I hope the line of people that want to take back their remarks about Whit is just as long and grows as fast as the list did to bury him.

[Kelly]

It just goes to show you how people's perceptions can get skewed by their own thoughts and impressions.

 

[FalconRacer]

I think that "STATEMENT" was an attempt to keep the Kallita camp from whoopin the Bazemore camp.. I hear a FUNNY CAR WAR brewing!! Whit may end up at the bottom of a MOSH PIT

All above said in FUN and meant only to be HUMOROUS!!!

 

[none]

Whit is obviously just trying to spin this, just look at the facts. Whit says he has a fan LOL, good one. I didn't see the show, but come on, Whit with a fan?

Probably an ex-Reinhart fan looking to move up....

 

[ReactionTimes]

LOL! This has turned into an EXCELLENT thread.

Alan, think you could find the time at the next race to hunt down a Whit "fan"?

Do you really think he has that much time on his hands?
