Fans love this, too. There was a time in TV journalism when reporters refused to express their opinions for fear of making drivers or NASCAR mad. It doesn't seem to matter to Dallenbach. He takes a straightforward approach and if it upsets you, he takes the attitude he is doing his job.
There should be more journalists like him, even on the teaching level. The profession finds itself overrun with too many whimps too cowardly to ask a tough question. That is sad.
