Behind the scenes with TNT's NASCAR and Wally's World
By Jay Busbee / Yahoo! Sports
In just two short weeks, TNT will be taking over the NASCAR broadcasting
duties for six weeks -- adios, Digger -- and as part of that, they'll be running
weekly prerace "Wally's World" segments
featuring driver/analyst Wally Dallenbach.
Earlier this week, the fine folks at TNT
invited me down to watch the filming of
these segments, and I came away with
one overriding message: if there's
anybody who works less than bloggers,
it's on-air talent.
Nah, kidding. I'm sure Wally and his compatriots do plenty of
behind-the-scenes work, but as I watched them film two scenes, his total
worktime was perhaps three minutes per hour. Still, he made those minutes
count, believe me. Read More!

Wally Racing the Trophy Truck with Jessee Jones Vegas 300 the
first weekend in Oct. also Wally will be be driving with Jessee in
the Baja 1000 this year
WD Quote: Im stoked about finally getting to race an off road truck. I
met Jessee at one of the CORR races we do for NBC. We got to talking
and I was telling him I wanted to race in Baja. I never was able to do to
the NASCAR schedule I used to keep. He said " why don't you drive with
me" I'm pretty sure I said yes before he even finished the sentence.
Jessee likes to have fun, and I think this is a perfect fit for me. I hope we
can run many more together. I'm a complete novice at this, so he is
sending the team to Vegas for me to race in the Best in the Desert
Vegas 300. Mainly for me to get some seat time before the Baja 1000. I
cant wait!
