NASCAR in Primetime: Johnny Sauter?

Question

Anyone feel sorry for this guy? Not because he is a suck driver, but because his fiancee' is a full blown nutcase.

Answer 1

I am tired of Johnny Sauter and his girlfriend. I don't think ABC has done a good job of presenting the drivers on Primetime Nascar.Most of it has been about Montoya and Sauter. I did like Kevin Harvick tonight, but then it went right back to Johnny Sauter and his girlfriend. Sauter doesn't even act like he likes this girl. Doesn't she have any pride?

Answer 2

I haven't seen the show. But I did hear Sauter interviewed today about the show. (Interview was on Sirius Nascar Radio). And he isn't happy with the show. They have seriously edited his parts to show him in that light. He said that they showed him at his most frustrated points of the season, when there were a lot of high points that they could have shown but didn't. He also said that he was pitched the idea of the show to show him away from the track and his home life.

I kind of believe this. Why would a show, not catered to Nascar fans, show the non-controversial side of things. This show is for non fans to be brought in to the sport before ABC takes over the races. And what better way to do that than show some nutcase driver.

A lot of Cup drivers are having serious problems with ESPN (same company as ABC), because all they ever do is make controversy out of nothing. Not interested in any good stories. Just the bad ones. You can also see this in ESPN's coverage of all other sports too.

Sauter may be a butt head. Just telling what he said.

Answer 3

Although I'm not a Johnny Sauter fan, it's kinda nice to see someone that is not necessarily a fan favorite's point of view. We seem to only focus on the winning (which is important by the way) but it's humbling to see the losing side of a driver that we hope will never be ours.

As for the girlfriend/fiancee' I think she is grasping at straws knowing that she will probably never be first in his eyes. Rocky the movie is first, racing is second, and she might be third, if she's lucky. That feeling has gotta suck!!!

Answer 4

I rather liked the show last night. In showing Johnny's fiancee watching the race in their motor home we see what goes on behind the scenes and see the raw emotion's of how the g/f,fiancee ,wife feels when things don't go right .

I mean how often do Nascar fan's say that they wish that Nascar would stop telling the driver's what they can and can't say on camera ? A LOT!!! Johnny and Courtney BOTH showed that last night.

And although I normally don't pull for the tough guy racer Johnny is one of the two that I do pull for. The other is Tony .

Answer 5

i've got not seen the instruct. yet I did hear Sauter interviewed immediately relating to the instruct. (Interview replaced into on Sirius Nascar Radio). And he's not pleased with the instruct. they have heavily edited his areas to instruct him in that mild. He stated that they confirmed him at his maximum pissed off factors of the season, whilst there have been a brilliant style of intense factors that they could have shown yet did not. He additionally stated that he replaced into pitched the belief of the instruct to instruct him remote from the music and his abode existence. I variety of have confidence this. Why might a instruct, not catered to Nascar followers, instruct the non-arguable element of issues. This instruct is for non followers to be introduced in to the sport till now ABC takes over the races. And what greater effective thank you to try this than instruct some nutcase driving force. a brilliant style of Cup drivers are having serious problems with ESPN (same employer as ABC), because of the fact all they ever do is make controversy out of not something. not interested in any reliable memories. purely the undesirable ones. you additionally can see this in ESPN's assurance of all different activities too. Sauter may be a butt head. purely telling what he stated.

Answer 6

I don't feel sorry for him at all, maybe if he did nothave that fake tanned girl friend he could concentrate more on driving, and find a better gal one like Kevin Harvick has....I'm so sick of the Johnny Sauter soap opera hr show as I call it now..Thank god some for Jimmy J, and Kevin harvick last night, everytime I saw Johnny and ole fake tan I changed channels, does this gal know how orange she looks on TV.

Answer 7

Primetime should have stuck with covering the real nascar drivers. Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Dale Junior, Jimmy Johnson and Kevin Harvick. Any real nascar fan knows that all the other drivers are made up and the sport only had these five drivers. How nascar primetime gave airtime to a made up driver, no one knows. At least I know when I watch the race on sunday I will get the news only on the real drivers, and they wouldn't do anything stupid and cover anything about the made up drivers.

Answer 8

He's a cry baby loser & his finance is a fruitcake.Why do I wanna sit & watch this fool cry about how everything is so bad for him.Dude stfu.I can think of a ton of people who would gladly switch places with you.Be grateful you get an opportunity to participate in what is one of the most popular sports in our country.If he wasn't such an arrogant cry baby maybe he'd get a better ride.

And shame on Mrs Fruitcake for wishing other drivers would wreck.Such a lack of class.Her little meltdown last night spells years of torment ahead for poor Johnny.Now theres a reason to feel sorry for him.

Answer 9

Who would ever root for this guy, besides his friends and family? All he does is whine & moan and acts like he has it so bad and he'll never win. Would you ever see this attitude from the real drivers who have the same problems but still have a positive outlook? Of course, having a pyscho (but hot) girlfriend practically begging for a marriage proposal can't help much.
I can't believe this guy has a ride in Nextel Cup.

Answer 10

She lacks class in every sense of the word. She's on national television and is not only representing herself but more importantly him. I understand the need to feel angry or upset, but she's upset for the wrong reasons. Her whole outlook isnt backing him do something he loves to do, its this whole "whats in it for me" attitude. I dont know anything about Sauter really, but watching the show one wonders if he's really in love with her, or if she's jus whats convenient at the moment. I look at him and I dont see a man who wants to get married. I mean come on people, he looked right at that magazine she was reading and when asked why he doesnt look at her the way the groom in the picture looked at his bride he calmly said..."because he's in love" She did a fake laugh and said "thats so mean" and his reply was "well" or something to that effect. Now why would a woman put up with that? She has to see he doesnt really want to marry her, so why? Love? Money? And him, he's so focused on his racing career that I dont think it would be a good time for him to get married. If they do get married, I see divorce in their future and her taking him for half of everything...
