That is the point. ;)

It's a way to get Pizza Hut promotional time in the broadcast without detracting from the race (as they're still showing the racing), and a way to mention and show a driver that many of the viewers want to see and be updated on. In short, it's a clever way for them to justify the Junior time and a clever way for Pizza Hut to get an association not only with NASCAR, but also with the most popular driver (without actually sponsoring him).

Jooyner already gets enough TV time, much like Danica, its quite annoying to hear a driver running in 20th all day act like a win is just a stones throw away

You think it's bad now, wait until he manages his regulation one-win-on-fuel-mileage. Thanks to Na$cars changes to the chase qualification this will probably be enough for him to qualify for one of the wildcard spots over the 10 or 15 midfield drivers that will have spent the regular season kicking his butt.

Just a means to sell ad time with commercial plug. Stupid concept because it's almost always Joonyer.
