AC just posted on X , he did get escorted out of the stadium but he has his credentials back and is all set , seems like it was aggressive security

Maybe overstating, but Daniel Blaie finally back! RDL guest spot at Daytona! Hate to say but the fewer bumble fuck shit heads and the more concise professional speakers we have in this sport the better. And like it or not Blair is the best speaker, analyst, play by play in this sport, bar none. AC is great, JB as well, but comparing them to Blair is monkeys to marbles. Don't get me started on RC's verbal crucifixtions of the english language. Blair needs to be in this sport, hate to say. We need him.

Dude put down the straw for a minute. Blair is good but he's no Chris Economaki fcs!

That’s insane. I’ve heard stories of security at Daytona but this one takes the cake lol.

This is the stuff Matthes has railed on about for years on why Daytona sucks so bad! Where is the Weston Peick shirt, "Welcome to the Shit Show!"

So if Blair keeps getting screwed by NBC why doesn’t he spill the beans on what’s going on? Doesn’t seem there is any bridge left to burn, so let it out…

Kind of. But, way more to that story. DB is a class act in my book.

Even when 100% true, bad mouthing NBC could prevent him from landing a gig with another network.  They'll be afraid that he'll air all of their dirty laundry too.

Whether it is true or not, that is the version I heard as well. The deal or confrontation RC had with DB on air during the track walk was cringeworthy and displayed a lot.

Link to it? I don’t remember it. 

I have to give props to DB. He seems to tell as much of the story as he can without burning too many bridges or pointing fingers.

Thanks, I couldnt remember what episode it was. Not really a big fan of RC but he should be NOWHERE near a mic or camera. Shit he shouldn't be around a keyboard either.

DB talked about it finally on Pulp a few weeks ago. It wasn’t RC, it was some dipstick manager at NBC that didn’t like Blair and, as DB said, completely disrespected him in a  meeting. So DB knew he wouldn’t get to where he wanted with that guy in place, and he left. Sad that such talent was wasted by NBC, they are truly clueless at times.

According to Mattress that’s not the real reason.  I wish DB would address the Carmichael issue.  Mattress has hinted at “Ricky made a phone call” many many times.

That's leaving out a lot of the story. He walked away because he was told by a top NBC exec that he wouldn't rise any higher. Further to that, the rumours on the street suggest it was because of RC that the NBC exec had this view. 

And he dropped enough hints that RC was also part of his departure too.

Blair just posted on instagram, he is not on RDL tomorrow. Cryptically stated he was shocked at the reason, but didn't say what it was.

Had no clue RC had treated him like that on Blair’s Breakdown, that was childish. RC reminds me of my weird crazy Aunt

He’s got Napoleon Syndrome to the fullest extent.  You see it in that RDL clip with Blair and it comes out it small bits almost every race. When you see a small guy tuck their chin and lean their head back a little it their subconscious way to make themselves feel taller. RC does it often.   It’s a real shame that one guy has control over another guys livelihood. Good on Blair for trying not to burn bridges in hopes that once the NBC guy moves on he can get in, but that’ll never happen as whatever was said has already poisoned the brains of the next person to fill the NBC spot. He’s toast and it’s fuq’n sad.

Blairs Breakdown - Arlington still haunts me to this day. Can't look at Ricky the same and wish he would get out of the booth. Need something fresh and someone who isn't gonna be afraid of hurting riders feelings. 

I had never seen that before, kind of wish I hadn't now.  That was tough to watch.
