The Next Hot Thing

I wonder who in the eyes of the television world is going to be the next hot driver? For awhile it was Kevin Harvick the driver of the 29 car. Then they pitched Kyle Busch the 5 car, then we had Greg Biffle the 16 car and they were hot on Carl Edwards the 99 car and Denny Hamlin the 11 car oh don't forget Tony Stewart the 20 car was supposedly unbeatable for awhile. And we could go on and on and on. In the view of the television people if a guy is running well 5 laps into a race he is having a good run that day. I realize these guys get paid to talk and inform us with their expert opinions, but jezz they need to give it a rest, half of the time they can't really tell where a given driver is on the track at any given time and at times I think they are making it up as they go along because it seems like they create things out of thin air. They certainly had Jeff Green wrecking the heck out of Tony Stewart until they actually looked at what took place. Tony Stewart driving down a bit and Jeff Green coming up at the same time. And then that poor kid in the truck race the 15 that got into it with the 9 he was sent to the scaffold for running into the 9 when actually the 9 drove down into him. Oh well just a rant, these guys make pretty decent money to broadcast the races and at times it seems as if they are not really present at the same race i see.
