My guess is that while Mike Dunn would love to drive again, it would take a car that is almost guaranteed to finish in the top 5 to get him out of the booth. Why give up a job at which everyone recognizes you are turning in a first rate performance week after week for a second rate driving job?

Didn't Mike Dunn just mention something about the politics in the sport being something he didn't like? He's superb at broadcasting - and doesn't have to deal with the other stuff.

On a sidenote - have to agree that The Snake would also be a wonderful guest broadcaster. He just seemed totally at ease with it and imagine what wonderful historical bits of trivia he'd be able to share!!!

What I don't understand is why Mike is always 2nd Chair. He is way better then anyone who has been 1st chair.

I think it is just the model used for so many other sports where you have a play-by-play guy (Reid, Page) and then a "color" guy or analyst (Dunn).
