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!
ReplyDeleteI'm here thru RaceDay, then off to a play. I have NO intention of taping the race.
ReplyDeleteWhat??? OK, so it's raining and there will be no racing for hours. But, it's NASCAR.
ReplyDeleteESPN was a pleasant surprise during rain delay. That won't happen w/Fox. I'll pick it up when I get home.
ReplyDeleteAccording 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.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cluster for the teams.
ReplyDeleteGreat point reminding us of the G/W/C finish possibilities.
ReplyDeleteRace has to get started first.
ReplyDeleteBruton, please don't learn to be hyper like KW. It's irritating.
ReplyDeleteWhat is this music playing in the background when they interview drivers?
ReplyDeleteOther than annoying? No clue!
ReplyDeleteDon't know where the rain is coming from -- all the radars I've checked don't show a thing. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteIf 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.

ReplyDeleteLast report I had from a friend at the track, the driers had been pulled.
The stopped the jet dryers a while back when the rain picked up. That is the last I heard. Moisture and humidity everywhere...yech.
ReplyDeleteWunderground 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.
ReplyDeleteDallas hockey player Mike Modano is driving the pace car. He said he'd been warned about Tony playing bumper tag.
ReplyDeleteThis is a pretty interesting piece w/Jeff Burton.
ReplyDeleteKenny Wallace just made absolutely no sense when talking about Martin, Kahne, and RPM.
ReplyDeleteAndrew: None whatsoever!
ReplyDeleteI don't expect sense out of a Wallace or a Waltrip.
ReplyDeleteSo was that the big contreversy from KW? If so, what a let-down.
ReplyDeleteKW make sense?
ReplyDeleteThat's an oxymoron is I ever heard one.
From Wunderground:
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
Should be "if". Trying to type and hold a cup of coffee.
ReplyDeleteMultitasking Franna? How big was the spill?
ReplyDeleteWho is chad kidding, he's getting 4 at the end of the race.
ReplyDeleteJD, managed to limit the spill to my shirt. No keyboards were harmed in the process.
ReplyDeleteAgainst my better judgment I tried to get through RaceDay. It is unwatchable as long as Kenny Wallace is on the set.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteYea JD, I know I'm going off topic, but it is a rain delay!!
Did you see the rain tires behind Dale Jr's crew chief when Wendy was interviewing him?
ReplyDeleteOMG...'He kid because he cares'...
