Dixon on Letterman [VIDEO]

[mdkiel]

Finally got a chance to watch it. I haven't been the biggest fan of his but he seemed to come off as a really likable good guy. I think he did a good job.

It always comes off to me that Dave is asking the questions that people with no knowledge of racing would ask because most of his viewers don't.

agreed...don't ask a question if you don't know the answer. In this case, Dave is fairly knowledgeable and has a good idea on how the question would be answered.

Too bad Letterman didn't show any of the highlights from Fontana re: the super close racing they had and Dixon winning the Championship. That would have been super PR right there.

Yeah, I think last year he threw a jab at RHR for beating his team.

It saddens me that more people watched Scott Dixon on the Letterman show than the total number who watched him at an actual race or on tv.
Scott Dixon did a nice job representing Indy Car.

I believe that's it as well. I would imagine Dave is pretty knowledgeable about racing after all these years but he tries to act like a newbie recognizing a lot of his viewers don't know much

This.

I find it amazing that Racing Steward would not pick up on this.

[mdkiel]

don't you all find that no matter what IndyCar driver is shown on a show like this, they all represent the sport amazingly well?? They are all class acts.

Yes they are. And when you see them at the autograph tent it is remarkable how fit and skinny they are. Reinforces how old and fat I am.

[t1dad]

I agree. I always go out of my way to watch Dave when drivers are on. Every once in awhile he throws something in that makes it clear he's an actual fan...like when Vettel was on I think he asked about DRS and KERS.

sorry- double post

that's the way I always saw it too- I would imagine he understands racing quite well- heck I just watched the video of him interviewing Mario in T3 at the 500 in 1971!

BTW, I always felt Dave knew quite a bit about wildlife too- he always seems to have some pretty knowledgeable questions for Jack Hannah

[David_Skywalker]

Not to be negative but its absolutely amazing to me how a guy like Letterman who has been involved in racing for so many years is so effin clueless about it. He comes off as knowing relatively nothing about it. His interviews with drivers are often hard to watch because of his evident lack of knowledge.

On a positive note, nice to see Dixon get some exposure. His character has shown alot more during the last several years and its nice to see your champion getting some recognition. A real class act and the best driver of his generation and one of the very best in the world currently.
