Live Blogging RaceDay on SPEED From Texas


Well, RaceDay host John Roberts already relayed this morning that panelist Kenny Wallace was going to make some controversial statements on the show. Kyle Petty is sitting alongside of Wallace and enjoys adding his two cents into the mix.

It might be a fun show to watch and get your comments live as it happens. Just click the comments button below to add your TV-related comment about RaceDay on SPEED.

Wendy Venturini and Hermie Sadler are the reporters. They have a tough assignment today, as the drivers are in their motorhomes and not a thing is happening at the track except for jet dryers slowly circling.

This RaceDay will be different, because the Nationwide Series race was delayed and will be run either later tonight or on Monday. It should be interesting to see if RaceDay talks about this situation or interviews any of the Nationwide Series drivers.

Thanks again for stopping by, we will be live blogging the entire FOX and ESPN2 race telecasts later in the day.

This should be interesting!

PammH said...

I'm here thru RaceDay, then off to a play. I have NO intention of taping the race.

Daly Planet Editor said...

What??? OK, so it's raining and there will be no racing for hours. But, it's NASCAR.

PammH said...

ESPN was a pleasant surprise during rain delay. That won't happen w/Fox. I'll pick it up when I get home.

Martin Vincent said...

According to The Weather Channel, there's only a 15% chance of rain until around 5pm when it goes up to about 30%. And if the Nationwide race can't be run tonight, tomorrow afternoon looks pretty good as of now.

Daly Planet Editor said...

What a cluster for the teams.

Daly Planet Editor said...

Great point reminding us of the G/W/C finish possibilities.

PammH said...

Race has to get started first.

PammH said...

Bruton, please don't learn to be hyper like KW. It's irritating.

PammH said...

What is this music playing in the background when they interview drivers?

Daly Planet Editor said...

Other than annoying? No clue!

TexasRaceLady said...

Don't know where the rain is coming from -- all the radars I've checked don't show a thing. *sigh*

If the N'wide doesn't go off tonight, it will be hard for them to get to Talladega on Tuesday. They check in early Wednesday morning.

Are the jet dryers going? The rain may stop, but the humidity will stay around. Will take at least 3 hours to dry the track with all the moisture in the air.

Anon@12:43 --
Last report I had from a friend at the track, the driers had been pulled.

Daly Planet Editor said...

The stopped the jet dryers a while back when the rain picked up. That is the last I heard. Moisture and humidity everywhere...yech.

OSBORNK said...

Wunderground has the weather forecast at a 70% chance of rain until 10:00PM tonight. If they are able to get the race in, I don't think there is a chance for a GWC. They hope to get to halfway.

Dallas hockey player Mike Modano is driving the pace car. He said he'd been warned about Tony playing bumper tag.

PammH said...

This is a pretty interesting piece w/Jeff Burton.

Andrew said...

Kenny Wallace just made absolutely no sense when talking about Martin, Kahne, and RPM.

Daly Planet Editor said...

Andrew: None whatsoever!

OSBORNK said...

I don't expect sense out of a Wallace or a Waltrip.

PammH said...

So was that the big contreversy from KW? If so, what a let-down.

TexasRaceLady said...

KW make sense?
That's an oxymoron is I ever heard one.

OSBORNK said...

From Wunderground:

This Afternoon
Cloudy with intermittent drizzle and a chance of light rain. Patchy fog. Temperatures steady in the mid 50s. Northeast winds 10 to 15 mph.

TexasRaceLady said...

Should be "if". Trying to type and hold a cup of coffee.

Daly Planet Editor said...

Multitasking Franna? How big was the spill?

erb224 said...

Who is chad kidding, he's getting 4 at the end of the race.

TexasRaceLady said...

JD, managed to limit the spill to my shirt. No keyboards were harmed in the process.

bevo said...

Against my better judgment I tried to get through RaceDay. It is unwatchable as long as Kenny Wallace is on the set.

Ann_Ominous said...

I spilled milk on my keyboard. A lot of people have told me they have put their keyboards that they spilled something on in the dishwasher and it fixed them. I've been too chicken to try it.

Yea JD, I know I'm going off topic, but it is a rain delay!!

Charlie said...

Did you see the rain tires behind Dale Jr's crew chief when Wendy was interviewing him?

Paul said...

OMG...'He kid because he cares'...
