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.

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

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

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

  4. 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.

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

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

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  13. 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.

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

  15. This is a pretty interesting piece w/Jeff Burton.

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

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

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

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

  22. Multitasking Franna? How big was the spill?

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

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

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

    ReplyDelete
  26. 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!!

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

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