Anyway, I don't read it as anything derogatory to anyone.
Mayhaps we're a little too programmed to sharply inhale n' throw our palms against our gapin' mouths?
N', of course, this is my personal opinion.
Be well.

There were a whole bunch of posts on Speed's forums about it last night. Most were saying he shoul have never worded it like that. But a few did come to his defense by saying that he was praising the young driver all during the race for his talents (which he was), so the remark was not meant to be racial. I like him as an announcer.
He didn't offend me personally, but you never want to see someone make dumb and innocent statement and have it twisted by the media to make it look bad and the guy lose his job.
