At this time it appears that it is by his choice to be in the booth.

The broadcast crew should put together a Mike Dunn montage for those who missed out on the Columbus fire, OCIR explosion and those 280 mph blasts in the Pisano car.

Although he would be great in the booth, the trade from flames in the face to flames from us knuckleheads would be not worth all the plane trips and crappy hotels... (Hi Alan, BTW...)
