It still amazes me that anyone picked him to be a broadcaster. I would have never bet the guy would work out as one, but he sure did.
There were a whole crop of guys who came along and were allowed to get their sea legs in the business since it was not the super sport it is today.
I miss their insight into setup changes and so forth. When Buddy Baker let loose one of his witticisms, even if unintentional, you usually had something special.
Today's broadcast teams are much slicker and coached and often seem to be engaged in manufactured fun.
NASCAR has changed so I guess the coverage was bound to change but like NASCAR, it ain't what it used to be.
