That should have never been shown especially since it is a taped show. The idiots who produce the show probably thought it was funny to show a man of his stature cussing on National TV. Sure he should not have done it with a camera in his face but that bit of tape should have hit the cutting room floor.
Or is this the beginning of a new format? Let's call it NHRA SMACKDOWN.

I agree it should of been snipped, but no doubt somebody was going for the "reality tv" angle that is so prevalent now. It has been going this way for years but now it's getting too obvious that it's perceived as just another form of "entertainment" and has nothing to do with competition. The winner in any class mean no more to people than the winner of a reality show..and the reality winners get more money. I think even the Force's would make more impact on "dancing with the stars" or whatever the hell it's called.
We don't get espn in Canada and I haven't watched dragracing on tv in many, many, years. The closest I get is "Pass Time" or a rerun of "Pinks all out".
