The Mad Man would do just fine on national tv in an interview. I would think it would be a lot easier to make a public speaker out of a driver as opposed to making a driver out of a public speaker.

Back when "Smoke" was coming up there was a guy named Chris Economaki. Chris held free public speaking classes up in Indy at the IMS Hotel right next to the Big Track for "any young driver" that wanted help in conducting interviews with the press. I wouldn't be surprised if "Smoke" wasn't one of his students.
