Update: ESPN has added a re-air of the Watkins Glen Sprint Cup Series race at 9PM ET on ESPN Classic. Great move.
The RaceDay gang says they are raring to go at Watkins Glen and waiting for 11AM to come on the air. SPEED will handle the one hour pre-race show and then ESPN will start live coverage of the rain delayed Sprint Cup Series race at noon ET.
John Roberts, Jimmy Spencer and Kenny Wallace are the RaceDay panel. Wendy Venturini and Hermie Sadler are the reporters. This program should feature the weather, the Nationwide Series race and reset the grid for the Cup Series event.
ESPN has Jerry Punch, Dale Jarrett and Andy Petree calling the race. Down on pit road will be Jamie Little, Dave Burns, Shannon Spake and Vince Welch.
The racing should be outstanding with the new restart rules and hopefully good weather will allow things to go off without a hitch.
This race re-airs on SPEED at noon ET on Wednesday in a three hour timeslot. NASCAR Now is on ESPN2 at 5PM. Will be pushed back if race runs long.

Crap. After going to many Glen races, we were outta cash for anything this year. And here I sit at work missing the race thanks to rain. I will be checking in with NASCAR dot com and this site every half hour or so...so blog away those of you lucky enough to be able to watch the race.
ReplyDeleteJD, just to clarify, it will be ESPN, not ESPN2 Right?
ReplyDeleteFor you Canadian viewers, it's live on TSN2.
ReplyDelete@diane - Yes, it's on ESPN.
di, it is ESPN.
ReplyDeleteI'll be cheating at work. Please comment explicitly so I know what's going on. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know, this whole ban of Twitter by ESPN, does this also include guys like Dale Jarrett or is this just for their full time, on air, personnel?
ReplyDeleteBTW, yesterday on Fox News, they discussed the ban of Twitter by ESPN. Everyone who discussed this slammed ESPN for this decision. They basically said that here you have an organization who's primary goal is to disseminate information trying to stop their employees from doing just that. One panelist even said this is akin to a Taliban edict prohibiting just about everything. The way they were making fun of ESPN was absolutely hysterical.
Ohhhhh, Kenny Wallace. What has happened to you on the air?
ReplyDeletedar,
ReplyDeleteAny ESPN employee. That covers freelance and contract employees like Dale Jarrett.
I heard it was to be replayed on ESPN Classic tonight... is this not the case?
ReplyDeleteSteve, I asked them this AM if it was going to be replayed and they said not this week.
ReplyDeleteLet me check my email and see if I have an update. I think ESPN should absolutely replay it tonight somewhere.
Otherwise, it's SPEED at noon on Weds.
I hope to be able to hack more of Raceday today. Made it through about 10 seconds yesterday. When Spenser showed up dressed like a cheap imitation of Patton I switched channels. Why is it that all the Fox affiliated units think that we need cartoon rodents and this drivel.
ReplyDeleteToday male dogs in heat? Where is my remote...
Frank in Sebring
The race last week was replayed at night on ESPN2. I think they should do the same this week.
ReplyDeleteJimmy Spencer continues to redefine NASCAR TV coverage.
ReplyDeleteNothing in the mailbox. I am going to continue to work on ESPN for a re-air.
ReplyDeleteThanks for looking. I thought they said ESPN Classic this morning on 'The Morning Drive' but I was trying to find out for sure and the ESPN site was worthless.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a travesty if they didn't reply it tonight, for those of us who work 8-5 for living. [I guess I really need to buy a DVR so I can record it.]
a DVR is an invaluable resource for NASCAr fans.
ReplyDeleteyou can either watch much later or start watching 1-2 hrs later (figuring 20 mins of commercials per hour) and fast forward thru most if not all of the commercials
PM Tstorms. We should be able to see the whole race.
ReplyDeleteAmazing that the DVR has changed the viewing habits of so many NASCAR fans.
ReplyDeleteReally took a bite out of the live ratings. Side by side commercials would have solved a LOT of problems...but no.
Wendy in the motorhome lot. something you will never see in ESPN.
ReplyDeleteHermie Sadler has come such a long way on TV.
ReplyDeleteApparently, the sun came out around 5PM so everyone had social hour last night.
ReplyDeleteGuys like Elliott Sadler and Juan Montoya got golf carts and drove around the infield.
To address the start time issues on Sundays. I lived in Calif for a time back in 1986-1987. I had no problem getting up having breakfast and watching the races. They started at 12:15 or 12:30pm back then. East coast time, 9:15/9:30am West coast time. I could watch the whole race, eat some lunch and then had the whole afternoon and evening free. So I don't understand what NASCAR's reasoning is for starting the races so late in the day. Get them run earlier and miss all the mid to late afternoon rain showers back east.
ReplyDeleteI think this Speed pre race needs a new panel of commentators. I'm getting very tired of Jimmy and Kenny's act. Love Hermie and Wendy. They are the best.
why does KW have an umbrella next to desk?
ReplyDeleteDoes he know something?
Vince,
ReplyDeleteWhen they had Kyle Petty and Hermie Sadler on the panel it was a very different vibe.
Just sayin...
I can't believe you noticed that too! Probably just keeping it with him in case..
ReplyDeleteVince, that is what I did today. Went to bed late last night and woke up to have breakfast and turn on Race Day. I love it!
ReplyDelete@Anon 11:25 - The hour-by-hour forecast did call for possible showers at 11:00am, RaceDay's start time.
ReplyDeleteESPN is already starting to promote next Saturday's MIS Nationwide race with no play by play announcer.
ReplyDeleteThat should be interesting...
I think the DVR has helped NA$CAR keep more of the fans. Many of us feel the first 75% of a race is wasted time and only the end is worth watching. We frequently go about our day and catch up on the early part of the race with the DVR and catch the end live. If not for the DVR, we would just skip the whole thing and wait for football season. The chase has made the drivers close to the top 12 drive defensively which makes it follow the leader with the IROC car.
ReplyDeleteGot the word from ESPN, no re-airs planned for this race.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...
The use of Tivo's by NASCAR fans also shows that the races are too long.
ReplyDeleteOh and by the way - Good Morning!
Husband and I agree with starting races earlier. As a west coaster, if I were to watch live, much rather do it at 10AM to have afternoons free.
ReplyDeleteIn this day and age of DVR's the PTB need to rethink the whole starting time theory anyway.
Have fun today guys and gals. Will read you up to start of race then finish after I watch tonight. I DVR'd race via Directv's feature to set the dvr via PC.
Cross fingers for me it worked :-)

ReplyDeleteWOW! I know Jimmy S is a loose cannon but.
ReplyDeletemale dogs in heat! Everybody knows it's the female, but he just kept going on and on and on. Heck I don't like Kyle Busch but even I would not tie him into such an analogy.
Woof, woof.
Anyone buy Tom's shoes?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the answer in the other post JD.
ReplyDeleteHey, the sun is out so thats a plus
Why would they want to show an old race from the 1990's tonite on ESPNC when they could easily re-air today's race. HELP!!!
ReplyDeleteJD, show us your pull here... the 6:00 slot would work on ESPNC. Pull out all the stops.
ReplyDeleteDoing the same as WCDiane, DVR'd the race (manually with Dish) and will watch when I get home. My biggest frustration is that I've been using RaceView and PitCommand that won't be available on a delay. The replays are available for more than a week after the original session.
ReplyDeleteHey, I was checking out Jayski's article links.
ReplyDeleteThe top one is in red and says "ESPN's racecast - LIVE coverage and chat"!!!
Clicked on it and it opened a page without asking for a password!!
Is this normal? Don't think so....
With Lowes not renewing their contract with Charlotte Speedway who will take over the naming rights? My vote is for Extendz "cause they have the longest race on the circuit"!
ReplyDeleteOk,I'm ashamed of myself...
Frank in Sebring
Let's just say the ESPN guys were not to happy about me pushing for a re-air. Their comments were...um...brief.
ReplyDeleteSomething useful for the road courses I think would be the old ESPN tool of using a green up arrow or red down arrow to show if someone has moved up or back since the last time the ticker scrolled...
ReplyDeleterandom thought but something that just came to mind
Di, they have Ryan McGee from home doing a live race chat over at ESPN.com.
ReplyDeleteESPN.com has been trying to get fans to the site, but I don't think they know why or how.
Best of luck to Ryan, moderating is a *cough* lot of fun.
Frank, just say no sometimes! lol
ReplyDeleteWell, there will be a lot of unhappy fans that they will need to be brief with. How can we contact them?
ReplyDeleteJust jump over to ESPN.com and ask Ryan about it. Be nice!
ReplyDeleteI'm not playing hookie, just have two windows open.
ReplyDeleteHelluva good in a prayer, does it get any better?
ReplyDeletedidn't understand it last week and do not get it today
ReplyDeletewhy do the invocation and national anthem again? didnt we do this yesterday? Can you bless a race twice?
In the day - Network TV would come on with cars going around the track and at 11AM - not NOON!
JD,
ReplyDeleteOops, guess it was wishful thinking.
Since it had some timing/scoring info when I saw the video window, thought the race was going to be shown.
Should have known better. You can smack me now :-)
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteSorry bob, my lawyer says no to those links on the site.
ReplyDeleteThink Google will have to provide that info.
Thanks,
JD
Cant get JD in trouble ;)
ReplyDelete[bows head in shame]
ReplyDeleteok it wont happen again - those darn lawyers.
David, I already did! Why I needed some advice. That feed is from the UK and is getting around the US copyright laws.
ReplyDeleteWhen the hammer comes down, it is going to be a very expensive one for that guy.
Don't think Jamie has an idea what a "ringer" is in racing
ReplyDeleteNo problem, if Turner and NASCAR and ESPN could get a clue, this race would be streamed online with the ESPN commercials.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, Turner is not playing well with others right now.
So...
Well I worked last night & have to work tonight. So I'm in between "naps" Heres hoping no rain. Morning coffee & a race - this is living!
ReplyDeleteCould someone explain Elliotts huge white sunglasses? Is he making fun of Scott Speed?
Frank
ReplyDeleteThat new title for the track is a no go. Maybe they could sponsor a "warranty" service...extended warranty.
See what you started. :)
I've also not heard "helluva" in a prayer before....
What is up with Jamie? She is having a really bad time with the Cup guys these days.
ReplyDeleteWell as a follower, I know you mentioned that before, but I meant lets not get you in MORE trouble lol.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to dig your own holes well enough without our help lol
JD, watching the race on directv. one of the perks of working the night shift. still get to watch the race. looking forward to a great broadcast and the 7 in the winners circle. enjoy all.
ReplyDeletelou
When they told the drivers to start their engines, some crew chiefs told their drivers to start the car and then shut if off until they were told to start moving out on the track.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, there is no way to limit the online streaming to just the US. Anything online violates the rights agreements with all kinds of folks worldwide.
ReplyDeleteBummer...
I'm going to take a drink today, for each time when JP says "if you're just joining our broadcast"....the first time he does it will be my cue that he's running out of steam and that he'll start repeating stats.
ReplyDeleteCharlie, thats common practice on any fuel mileage race.
ReplyDeleteSome just don't even start their engines when the command comes down
What about DJ with a scripted controversy question??
ReplyDeleteWhy no comp yellow?
ReplyDeleteDot
I know that David. Just trying to help out with what is going on at the track.
ReplyDeleteGetting the radio ready, just in case
ReplyDeleteI've seen that track map 100 times this weekend!
ReplyDeleteDid the Glen change those barriers at the end of pit road to water or are they still sand?
ReplyDelete@JD- I really liked Jamie in the IRL. She is getting worse every week in NASCAR though. You would think she would do some homework about the sport. Sounds like she just hears phrases in the media center then spouts them on tv.
ReplyDeleteJP already sounds outta gas...
ReplyDeleteThis is interesting. If they would've run on Sunday the green flag would've dropped at :18 past the hour. Today, we're a few minutes past that.
ReplyDeleteThe one good thing about not watching on TV, no lame pit reporting.
ReplyDeleteDot
Mike, they are late. Told it was GF at :18.
ReplyDeleteRyan said that he didn't know what time the re-air would be, but that Nascar Now show was at 5:00... is he dancing around the question?
ReplyDeleteAre these practice laps counting? No update on N.com leaderboard.
ReplyDeleteDot
Great. Not half way thru the first lap and we have a bumper cam thru the chicane. That shows nothing. A bad omen.
ReplyDeleteThink we can stay with the Bush Beans in-car camera for an entire lap?
ReplyDeleteGuess there's no other racing going on behind the top 5?
ReplyDeleteMRN Radio...a passion for what they do, and it shows.
ReplyDeleteESPN? Deader than a doornail, with lame coverage.
In early commercial, MRN is handling details on good early battles for position.
Am I oversensitive, or is ESPN jamming ads in hand over fist?
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of MRN - second week in a row no race on the D/FW affiliate. Top 5 media market and no race coverage.
ReplyDeleteLet's take bets on how many times they're going to show Said's footwork.
ReplyDeleteBobby Labonte gets tapped by Jeff Burton and gets off the course but gets back on and continues.
ReplyDeleteBurton ate curb, thats why he hit Bobby
ReplyDeleteDang, kind of early for foot cam.
ReplyDeleteThanks Charlie. That's the info we at work need to read.
ReplyDeleteDot
no mrn in new york city area and we are #1 market.
ReplyDeletewikipedia shows Dallas as #6 TV market behind Philly.
Hey Dot, glad your here again. Marcos puts a slick move on JJ out of 10 into 11. 3rd now
ReplyDeletegeez shannon
ReplyDeletecan't you tell us a fact or 2 about the 88 in four SHORT sentences or less??
Oh good, another comm'l
JEEZ!
Chad told Jimmie after he was past by Marcos to watch for a car coming out of the pits.
ReplyDeleteNo mention of anyone going to the pits on Tv.
Lets see what incident ESPN misses this time
ReplyDeleteAnyone missing Marty Reid? Just asking...
ReplyDeleteDarn, went to radio in DFW and there's no racing. Have to enjoy JPs snoozefest on TV.
ReplyDeleteThree minute freakin" break?????
ReplyDeleteDarbar,
ReplyDeleteI'll set the number at 10 and take the under...should be somewhere between 7 to 10 times through the race.
stremme falling like a rock...no word from espn...3rd commercial break on lap 11...good thing i love nascar cause espn makes me want to shoot the tv
ReplyDeleteIs the 37 out?
ReplyDeleteHe's shown several laps down.
That was sooooo important to tell us about baseball coming out of a long comm. break!
ReplyDeleteanyyone else tired of seeing all the stupid coverage of boris said. come on
ReplyDelete@ David, thanks. I'm recording @ home, I'll look for that. Another surprise by Marcos. I'm sure JJ won't cry about it though.
ReplyDeleteDot
gordon #24 has a short shifter
ReplyDeleteno mention??
Half lap of racing, six commercials, one lap of racing, six more commercials
ReplyDelete4 cars off according to the ticker
ReplyDeleteHELLO ESPN????anybody home?????
Well JD, Jr lives!
ReplyDeleteThats about the only car aside from the 24 they've shown out of the top 10. Disappointing to say the least
No talk of start and parks. Hey, who the heck is Ave????
ReplyDeletecaution lap 18, debris on the track.
ReplyDeleteThink we'll see debris?
ReplyDeletenah
anybody remember how much fun tnt made sonoma...exact opposite today
ReplyDeleteCaution, my behind. I remember they would never call a full course caution, but only a warning yellow for the area where the debris is located. There is no need for a full course yellow. Heck, even the open wheelers don't have a full course caution for a bit if gunk on the track.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they talk about NASCAR as much during a baseball game as NASCAR talks about baseball during a race?
ReplyDeleteI think the spelling of debris should be debree.
ReplyDeleteWell, I must say, I am really not enjoying this race. Tony isn't on hotpass this week and his sirius channel has Kenseth on it for some reason. I am having to rely on ESPN for info so I have no clue what is going happening.
ReplyDeleteDebris in the inner loop. Someone probably knocked over the red cone.
ReplyDeleteGee Jerry, how critical is this????
ReplyDeleteThe extra long commercial breaks aren't helping. That, and back to covering only the top 10 cars are really making me sad I'm sitting here watching this mess! Not even 20 laps and it's already a train wreck!
ReplyDeleteDot, MA not thrilled with the car, stays out, several pit. MA leads
ReplyDeleteEver just want to pull your hair out when your driver didn't pit with the rest of them!!!!
ReplyDeleteleader pits plus a bunch of others, Marcos stays out. Hamlin, Dale jr. to fast on pit road.
ReplyDeleteI see I am only missing aggravation..been on the phone with tv muted but the camera work looks totally ANNOYING as usual unless i am missing something.
ReplyDeletesigh...
this camera work has got to go. YAY! MRN is on..thanks to some country music station I never listen to.
Dot
just heard Marcos did not make a pit stop just now.
Good thing only 3 cars stayed out - relatively easy for Jerry Punch to follow! Did take him a while to catch on that it happened, but he eventually did... for once.
ReplyDeleteOK, what is it with Southerners who don't realize there's no "D" in the word important. It's not impordant, but Southerners never pronounce that word correctly.
ReplyDeleteJD,
ReplyDeleteHow exactly do commercials work on a rainout? I realize sponsors pay to have their adds shown x number of times at y time.
But when they have a rain delay, and no race, they fill a couple of hours with commercials. Logic would say then that there really should be any commercials left for the race if it is run on Monday.
Now I assume that their contract says that the ads must be run DURING the race and not merely the time it is scheduled to run at, but even so I would think theoretically there should be less commercials during the race due to the air time yesterday.
Just started thinking of this when they came back from commercial on Lap 9 and then went back to it on Lap 11.
Also Kahne and Sorenson stayed out.
ReplyDeletedarbar-Tony Ave is a road racer, or road parker in this case
ReplyDeleteMontoya hits a Ragan crewmember. Not good.
ReplyDeleteIf your to fast on pit road you have to go back to the back of the pack on restart.
ReplyDeleteBoyd, who's ride did Ave take over?
ReplyDeleteglad we saw the debris, huh?
ReplyDeleteHow in the world did the director miss the 55 spinning there when he was right on the spot...
ReplyDeletedarbar Tony Raines, I think
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update on MA. Worries me though.
ReplyDeleteKarma for Hamlin, hee hee.
Dot
Carpentier (55) gets tapped by Stremme and spins but keeps going.
ReplyDeleteyeah, it was Raines' ride he is in.
ReplyDeleteThis is a disjointed mess
Phat,
ReplyDeleteThey just check for outdated content in the spot buys and change all the promo spots because the dates are wrong.
Other than that, it runs again from the start with the same sponsors.
No idea why they are front loading all the breaks right now. Tough to watch.
guy hit by JPM being taken to care center..brush burn on elbow
ReplyDeleteDavid stremme turned about
Stremme just can't buy a break, or good driving skills
ReplyDeleteThis stinks for Harvick
ReplyDeleteStremme ran out of talent, again.
ReplyDeleteCaution 2 lap 23, Stremme looses it and spins. Gordon, Harvick involved.
ReplyDeleteWell Stremme...there IS a turn there...
ReplyDeletestinks Harvick to the garage from the hit
ReplyDeleteIs stremme taking over for Robby today?
ReplyDeleteAtta boy Patrick! :)
ReplyDeleteMore karma being dealt. Is it Robby Gordon?
ReplyDeleteLeaderboard on N.com behind on telling me what's going on.
Thank you Planeteers and JD.
Dot
poor harvick AGAIN...his tweets should be interesting later
ReplyDeleteOh no, it was Jeff. Dan will not be happy. Taking back my karma comment. Please specify next time.
ReplyDeleteDot
Kahne and Sorenson in the pits this time. Marcos still stays out. Montoya comes in, he made a pit stop last time to.
ReplyDeleteYou want to see if our PXP is better than ESPN's?
ReplyDeletetrouble for Ron Fellows made pit stop - went to leave and stalled the car - cant get it re-fired
ReplyDeleteAsk whats going on with the 7 and you get a report on the 39. WTH?? Totally horrid job by the pit reporters.
ReplyDeleteIf they have had alt problems with the 39 from the start, why didn't they say something before now. That just annoys the heck out of me.
Wonder if we will ever find out whats going on with the 7.
Live Leaderboard on NASCAR.com says Fellows crossed the line twice with a 6.42 second interval and puts him in the lead!... What happened there!
ReplyDeletethis should be the new nascar commercial....I drove 1700 miles to the race so i wouldn't have to watch it on espn
ReplyDeleteYou guys listening to MRN or Sirius, how is the race broadcast?
ReplyDeleteMike...perfect!LMAO!
ReplyDeletereplacing distributor on #7 car
ReplyDeleteESPN's "Fastest Pit Crew of the Year" Promotion is so patently absurd. They took one of the most objectively verifiable stats imaginable and turned it into a popularity contest between Jeff Gordon, Dale Jr. and two others.
ReplyDeleteFastest pit crew WOW, couldn't that just be decided by a dang stop watch. Another stupid popularity contest that has no bearing on reality.....
ReplyDeleteThese fans don't know squat about racing. How can anyone vote for Earnhardt's crew when they never get him out in a higher position then when he got in the pits. They always get him out at least 8 places below than where he started
ReplyDeleteLOL ricky bobby
ReplyDeleteThis race is nothing like Saturday. Not many wide shots. Just showing single or two cars.
ReplyDeleteMike, cut that out! I spit out perfectly good Dunkin Donuts coffee!
ReplyDeleteWhile ESPN sat in commercial, MRN's Glen Jarrett just nailed it! Caught up with Harvick at the care center after he got tapped by Stremme and caught the absolute essence of his feelings.
ReplyDeleteHarvick was not happy. Nice work, MRN!
ESPN? Commercial. Sad.
novel idea for espn...cover the pit road issues during caution laps...mrn has just updated all of the pit road issues and is now doing a field run down
ReplyDeleteLOL at jone1981 Great minds.....
ReplyDeleteAnother bad idea about how to 'involve' the fans? Just be sure to keep it irrelevant.
ReplyDeleteDar, but the other half the time they don't do any work because Jr misses the pit box...
ReplyDeleteI love Punch trying to nonchalantly say Helluva Good..
ReplyDeleteGood One, David.
ReplyDeletedecent job showing cars thru the chicane
ReplyDelete95 minutes of commercials already and we still miss a green flag restart - maybe not 95 minutes, but it sure feels like it
ReplyDeleteBoy they REALLY want to say MA made a mistake staying out. I really don't think its as big a deal as they are playing it up to be.
ReplyDeleteWhat in the heck is a "hellava Good sour cream dips", and how can they afford to sponsor a race when people have no idea who they are?
ReplyDeleteI can't stand watching a race live. I can't take the same commercials over and over!
ReplyDeleteTime to let the DVR take care over and lag behind some.
That was recorded....I think...
ReplyDeletenot as good as Shaheen saying Inglourious Basterds nonchalantly at Daytona.
ReplyDeleteNow if we had a extenze speedway -can that be said nonchalantly?
I'm about ready to bug out on ESPN for a second week in a row to listen to Sirius. This is absurd. Reminds me of NBC in their last season when they knew they wouldn't have any more races.
ReplyDeleteYou would think a sense of professionalism would at least count for something.
Coincidence Harvick and Stremme were in the studio at the same time yesterday?
ReplyDeleteI feel for KH, they had a great car and really started turning the corner in the last month
Listening to Sirius - JPM channel...do not miss ESPN..can put it on pause to take a phone call...
ReplyDeleteJust plain awful. Espn is way behind on what is going on and not showing what's actually happening in the race.
ReplyDeletePunch, this isnt a funeral procession it's a freaking once-per-week event that alot of us get excited about.
Kurt Busch in the pits, Lap 30
ReplyDelete@ Mike 1:05 Bravo. Best comment ever.
ReplyDeleteDar - It's an east coast company. Just because you've never heard of them, doesn't mean they are not a big company.
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of Cracker Barrel, because they don't have any up here, until they started sponsoring the Atlanta spring race
RT @MartysmithESPN Be back. Very important errand to run. Have to find MRN Radio broadcast on local Charlotte station. My XM plan terminated. I am lost.
ReplyDeleteEvidently, he can't stand the ESPN broadcast either.
Wonder how KH really feels.....
ReplyDeleteThis pit strategy is really confusing the booth.
Dar they are a northeast company that makes certain food products. They are a sponsor at Dover as well and have been since last season
ReplyDeleteMarcos in pits, Lap 30. Kurt pitted on lap 29.
ReplyDeleteMarty's remark should REALLY say something to ESPN. Wonder if that was ESPN-approved? LOL
ReplyDeleteambrose pit strategy
ReplyDeletelaps 30 and 60?
I can hear JP now...wow look at Smoke, where did he come from - since he restarted 8th and is now in 4th and no one has said a word.
ReplyDeleteWe are seeing a bizarre set of fuel strategies here. I admit it's beyond me. I need Jerry Punch here, but I know he's clueless too. The most analysis we've gotten here is from Andy Petree saying he disagrees with the calls and is confused - can you explain why?
ReplyDeleteFour tires and fuel only? What Vince?
ReplyDeleteSurely there must be some cars actually racing each other behind the leaders? Can't we see some of that??
ReplyDeleteThanks David, you're a font of information. Phathead, I wasn't slamming the sponsor, but I just never heard of them.
ReplyDeleteIronic.....Stremme and Harvick were sitting side by side in the studio yesterday. When Harvick was asked about drivers he didn't like race against and he mentioned there were some, I wonder if Stremme was one of those he was thinking of?
ReplyDeleteLast race MA pitted early. Now not yet. Anybody know the stragedy? Any word from the insightful pit road bunch?
ReplyDeleteDot
