Live Blogging Sprint Cup Series In Michigan (12PM ET - TNT)


The second race of the six-event summer TV package from TNT originates from the Michigan International Speedway.

Lindsay Czarniak will host the Countdown to Green pre-race show. Kyle Petty and Larry McReynolds will be alongside. There is a lot to talk about this week.

Adam Alexander will call the race with Petty and Wally Dallenbach Jr. in the TV booth. Phil Parsons, Ralph Sheheen, Matt Yocum and Marty Snider are the pit reporters.

TNT's debut was a baptism by fire with rain stopping the race on the pace laps in Pocono. Czarniak filled time with McReynolds from an indoor studio using interviews and pre-recorded features. The weather in Michigan could also include some rain.

Alexander's debut featured a lot of accurate information, but little excitement. His even-tempered personality that served him quite well as a pit reporter did not translate into calling the racing action in the classic style. Perhaps he was playing it safe and we might see some additional play-by-play from him today.

Michigan is a wide and often boring track. Several races have been run without any caution periods. This is not the type of track where NASCAR may be inclined to look for a "debris" caution to better the show. This is also not a payback track due to the high speeds and danger.

The challenge for TNT is to get on top of the fuel strategies early on and keep that as the story. Races here have featured the leaders running out of fuel on the final lap many times. With the current green/white/checkered rules in place, fuel may be more of an issue than ever before.

Pictures from MIS are great, but the director has a challenge in following the leader, the ongoing stories and the best racing action. Sometimes, when things settle down, in-car cameras used live have a place at this track.

TNT will again offer RaceBuddy, the live online video companion you can access through the NASCAR.com website for free. TNT also has the million dollar challenge for this race. Simply pick the top ten finishing drivers in order and win a million dollars. NASCAR.com is again the place to sign-up for that contest.

  2. Hey JD am I having a "senior" moment or is the RaceBuddy link missing from the NASCAR.com web site?

  4. Thanks Pam, just showed up on the top of the page too.

  6. Not many fans in the stands with only an hour to go until the green flag.
    I bet if Nascar cut their schedule in half you would get more people at the tracks.

    ReplyDelete
  7. I live about and hour and a half or so northwest of the track. Between Grand Rapids and the lake shore. Overcast here and about 67 degrees. And humid! Hope the sprinkles stay away today for the race.

    ReplyDelete
  8. last week was asking why kyle wasn't twittering.. he lost his phone on his way to d.c. he has hit back and he is twittering during the show

    ReplyDelete
  9. If you look in the top right of racebuddy you will see there setup for the Pocono track.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Wish they'd put the TNT pre race show on RaceBuddy. I canceled my cable this week and just have OTA. :-(

  11. "One of the hallmarks of Blogger is the importance of freedom of speech."

    Does that apply equally here on TDP?

    ReplyDelete
  12. WHY were things moving/spinning during that interview with Harvick? vertigo. bad for watching for some...ugh

    ReplyDelete
  13. If Nascar cut their schedule in half a whole lot of people would be out of jobs.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Anon 12:20PM,

    I was a journalism major in college. You have no clue to what "freedom of speech" actually means.

    Stay within the topic we are discussing and you can offer any views. Just refrain from hateful speech and profanity.

    TDP had over five million pageviews in 2009, I think we get it.

    Any other problems, just drop me an email at editor@thedalyplanet.tv anytime.

    Thanks,

    JD

  15. batchief, pretty good truck race yesterday!

    ReplyDelete
  16. From where I sit you have never wavered with your expectations of the participants of this forum. Good for you.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Tender moment and I could feel it when Larry mentioned Kyle as a race dad. Made me sad.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Very good truck race yesterday John. I especially enjoyed the pre-race show and the pit reporting.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I miss Davey too, but- with all respect, why all the time spent during pre-race on such a sad topic?
    Sort of takes the festive mood away. Again with all respect.

    ReplyDelete
  20. After watching that outstanding Pride of Nascar piece w/ Davey Allison it's pretty weak to know that Fox's answer to this has been a cartoon about rodents and a fat sleezeball showing his butt crack and making fun of the drivers.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Watching the F1 race from Montreal. Huge tire casing right in driving line--but no debris caution--drivers have to deal with it. learn from this.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Are they controlling their own microphones? Both weeks so far in the pre-race show there's been off-air talk escaping on-air.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Where is Mark Fein this year? Lindsey is certainly better.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Hmm, this interview with the Hendrick drivers was taped in that indoor studio that no one knew TNT had. Wonder if that was at Pocono or or Michigan.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Marc Fein is working on the NBA for TNT.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I believe Fein might be helping with baseball on TBS....I'll have to switch over for a second at the top of the hour to see.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Ok, thanks. Mark never really fit in the race deal. He is better at B ball.

    ReplyDelete
  28. If you switch to TBS in about ten minutes, you should see Marc Fein, he's the studio host of MLB on TBS, among other things.

    ReplyDelete
  29. No one's mentioned it lately, but Lindsey has really taken well to Nascar. Living in the DC media market, I've watched her for years on the local NBC station, but that's mainly football-focused.

    ReplyDelete
  30. lindsey with the speeding ticket lol
    she is a woman so its not a surprise

    ReplyDelete
  31. any word on ticket sales at MIS? crowd looked very thin there so close to green flag.

    care to explain that at all?

    ReplyDelete
  34. This show is far better than the claptrap we experienced on Speed. Different personalities make a hugh difference.

    ReplyDelete
  35. That was a cheap shot from Larry and destined to promote the women driver comments.
    It could have gone un said and never mentioned.
    She is doing a great job, putting her heart into her art and didn't need the assist from macho Mac. Notice Kyle took a no comment and good for him. She had emotion in her voice when she responded.
    It's really easy to speed from the hotels in Ann Arbor to the track as the speed limits vary several times and go thru a bunch of Burgs.
    Bad taste Larry.

    ReplyDelete
  36. ok, so as a marine brat, it pains me to say this but: great job by the army on that anthem!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Excellent anthem!

    ReplyDelete
  38. they pulled the shot of the planes off just as the one does the pull off in memory of those who have been lost.. missing man formation

    ReplyDelete
  39. excellent anthem & the flyover was outstanding!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Wish we had an anthem like that every race.

    ReplyDelete
  41. This should be an interesting day for Nascar ratings...what a sports day... F1 underway...college world series baseball....Steven Strasburg pitching on TBS..world cup with Germany...I wonder what Nascar will pull with this traditionally marginal race?

    ReplyDelete
  42. Excellent anthem. It doesn't look like the track or TNT is trying to hide the many empty seats. The previous attempts by Fox was like a man trying to hide his baldness with a comb-over.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Lindsay Czarniak vs. Chris Myers. Just sayin....

    ReplyDelete
  44. command: two words: self indulgent.

    ReplyDelete
  45. The start your engine thing was just stupid.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Just one word for the command: Disgusting

    ReplyDelete
  47. James said he could not top his Daytona deal, so they had to do something different.

    That was different....

    ReplyDelete
  48. Happy RaceDay Planeteers :)

    Nice anthem and no injuries today! We've already had some with the OTW gang & a few close calls!

    Uhm....interesting command. At least Kevin didn't get on the ground and go into convulsions like he did last time :p

    ReplyDelete
  49. Lindsay Czarniak vs. Chris Myers.
    She is much better much as I regret to say so.
    So is Krista.
    It's time for the ladies!
    Let's go racing girls!
    They are also easier on the lens.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Back at last.

    Doing what I do best....Noticing like last week not NEEDING RB but have it up in case.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Hello planeteers! Great anthem, but that command, well, it looked like they were having fun, but I'm hoping that most of the drivers waited for the crew chief to tell them to start their engines.

    I'm not a big fan of either sandler or james so that may be part of it.

    Looks like a nice day.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Agree with "disgusting." Maybe I'm just too old for that kind of humor.

    ReplyDelete
  53. For some reason I'm picturing the drivers and teams thinking "We'd like to start the race today" during that command

    ReplyDelete
  54. captain morgan...what a joke

    ReplyDelete
  55. Welp, that was a dif command. Made me laff for sure! It was okay for once in awhile, but I like the traditional better.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Drivers should of started engines and drowned those fools out.. Now THAT would of been funny

    ReplyDelete
  57. On start your engine - does nascar have no shame?

  59. who's in the booth today doing PXP?

    ReplyDelete
  60. Gina, it will be Adam Alexander for all six of the TNT races.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I have to admit, though, that's the first time I've seen a celeb do a non-Daytona 500 command in quite sometime. Evidently the race sponsor didn't pay enough money to do the command.

    ReplyDelete
  62. This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.

  63. Thanks, JD. I forgot that you said he was doing all 6 TNT races.

    Hope that he finds his groove better than last week.

    ReplyDelete
  64. It occurs to me if we know who wears the firesuit, we also know who wears the ladies' underwear...

  66. Racebuddy doing great on Dish in Va.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Kyle Petty tweeting from the booth this week. Could be fun.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Wow there is a lot of empty seat in all sections.And Kyles new glasses look good.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Am I the only one seeing the Pocono track in the upper right on race buddy.

    ReplyDelete
  70. RB working good for me so far.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Charlie, Pocono is on mine also but I scrolled down so it disappeared.

    ReplyDelete
  72. @red re: Lindsay speeding ticket. Don't you know men never get tickets...LOL!

    I thought it was funny and Lindsay's response was great. If one of the guys got a ticket, they would have done same thing.

    Command & Capt Morgan: Cringe worthy. Exactly why I can't watch races live.

    ReplyDelete
  73. RB working good here in Tampa w/ Brighthouse cable ( for now cable working)

    ReplyDelete
  74. Good coverage of this opening segment.

    ReplyDelete
  75. hi everyone! Race buddy isnt working in HD it looks all muddy??? and yes I have the pocono track in the corner of my screen as well?? Crowd is better then a year ago but not as good as the last August race at Michigan

    ReplyDelete
  76. Question: Did it look like the flyover pilots were about to do the missing man formation for Les Richter when the cameras panned back to the choir?

    ReplyDelete
  77. Kyle and Wally just talked about the draft at Michigan and Adam went ahead and asked them about it again like a minute later.

    ReplyDelete
  78. @WCD: well, i speed on a consistent basis and i have never received a speeding ticket. only time i've even been pulled over was for a busted rear light -- altho i was about 25 mph over the limit when he hit the lights!

    loved that the guys called lindsay on it & appreciated the way she responded, tho!

    ReplyDelete
  79. @jennifer: i caught the "missing man" peel off formation before they moved back to the chorus.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Sure looked like the pilots were doing that when TNT whiffed.

    SPEED almost missed it entirely for the Truck race yesterday.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Thank's y'all, I thought that happened.

    ReplyDelete
  82. OK, I just realized that I had listened to the entire 18 laps and didn't once think I need to turn off the sound.

    Amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Hey, this is some good NASCAR TV folks!

    ReplyDelete
  84. 2 tires by some Perhaps thats the reason why Robby Gordon picked up 26 spots???? NO Adam I would say for sure thats the reason he dosent have a clue

    ReplyDelete
  85. Just so refreshing to see decent camera angles and announcers talking about the race. I know Adam is struggling w/ PxP, but I will take that considering all the other positives in the TNT coverage.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Having a little problem with RB. My 4 small screens are mislabeled. Click Pitlane and get in-car. Click Battle and get Track

    ReplyDelete
  87. yes, it is. The camera work was great and I'm enjoying the commentary.

    it almost feels weird to be enjoying the race

    ReplyDelete
  88. Robbie missed his pit first time around...

    ReplyDelete
  89. Thanks for the Robby comment. Wondered how he gained 26 spots on pit road.

    ReplyDelete
  90. It's seems the booth and Adam Alexander sound more alive this week.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Rich:

    Same here.

    RaceBuddy has a snafu . . . the PitRoad tab shows the In-Car images and the In-Car tab shows images from the helicopter.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Yeah I like how TNT presents are sport, much more clean cut and much better camera work!

    ReplyDelete
  93. Was journalism school where you learned the TDP Motto: "If I want your opinion, I'll give it to you?"

    ReplyDelete
  94. I love Michigan racing all over the place so sexy!!!

    ReplyDelete
  95. This is the best MIS racing we have seen in a long time. Adam is really working it on the play by play side. Must be weird doing something for the first time live on national TV.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Jennifer, I was noticing that, too. It's why I wasn't sure it was Alexander since last week it was all monotone. This week, so far, is much better.

    And as Kyle just said, that is good racing. Side by side and able to pass -- woo hoo

    ReplyDelete
  97. How about both the Parsons cars missing the race? That solved a big issue for TNT this week.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Yeah, if only that happened every TNT race JD lol.

    Wish they would show a little racing out of the top 15 though. It's been pretty heavy top 10 so far

    ReplyDelete
  99. Yep, field recap time and ready for some stories.

    ReplyDelete
  100. See you have your personal troll back again this week JD.

    ReplyDelete
  101. RaceBuddy has some great overhead shots going on now. Click the In-Car tab to view.

    ReplyDelete
  102. Vince, takes all kinds to make a world buddy.

    ReplyDelete
  103. 46 back on track, must have gotten some tires from a team that just used them

    ReplyDelete
  104. I'm enjoying RaceBuddy but don't really need it since TNT is doing such a good job with their coverage.

    Really needed RaceBuddy during FOX since they refused to show the racing.

  105. Makiki, I have been using it for the in-car but it's lagging a bit behind the live TV.

    ReplyDelete
  106. jd, i'm keeping RB on battle cam w/o sound & watching/listening to booth as well. have the speed set to mostly match the tv. during commercials, it's all RB of course.

    ReplyDelete
  107. JD, if you refresh your RaceBuddy window, it will sync back up to real time.

    ReplyDelete
  108. Did they just show the ENTIRE pitstop for the top 3 cars while keeping a view on he ENTIRE pitroad????

    my god Fox is either crapping in their pants at seeing how it could be done, or most likely, off playing golf and not caring.


    GREAT WORK TNT!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  109. Question to Kyle Petty from fan:

    why did Nascar throw a fake debris caution when the racing was good?

    Answer from Petty: haha not sure...

    ReplyDelete
  110. Racebuddy was working fine with my low end computer until the race started and the leader board started up. The pictures are now jerky, stop and go.
    To many moving parts for this computer.

    ReplyDelete
  111. anon unfortunately, I doubt that fox gives a rats butt about how well anyone else does.

    the only way we could make an impact on that would be for every race fan next year to NOT watch any of the Fox broadcasts.

    I love what TNT is doing --

    ReplyDelete
  112. My only complaint with RB, and it's a minor one, is when I switch views there is a 5 or 6 second delay when the sound and video cut out.

    ReplyDelete
  113. are people not logged in today or are they actualy watching the race and enjoying the coverage like we haven't been able to do with the FOx broadcasts???

    just seems like comments are slow

    ReplyDelete
  114. so there was no debris? someone messed up

    ReplyDelete
  115. great visual and explanation link-up there w/the 88 being loose. yeah, i know it was coincidental to some extent but still nice to see that happen.

    ReplyDelete
  116. My Race Buddy is about 1 sec behind the telecast and the pit road view takes me to an in car of Stewart right now. The picture is good though.

    ReplyDelete
  117. when the racing is good, the comments are typically light. LOL except during commercials.

    ReplyDelete
  118. Michigan tends to be boring with few cautions. Looks like Nascar is going to change that and throw debris cautions now and again to bunch the cars back up.

    ReplyDelete
  119. Tons in chat, just enjoying the race and the RaceBuddy.

    ReplyDelete
  120. so you're telling me I need to go over to FB?

    ReplyDelete
  121. @charlie: and here's why RB is so valuable to the sport: it may, in fact, be a boring race but b/c we can switch camera angles & get to see the battles that are happening, it doesn't FEEL boring.

    and THAT is great for the sport!

    ReplyDelete
  122. Just enjoying watching the race without having to multi task! I'm really wishing we could have RB for rest of year.

    ReplyDelete
  123. Addngton is going to make Chad Knaus loose a lot of sleep and the rest of his hair.

    and.....he aint even cheating yet!

    ReplyDelete
  124. The Race Buddy view really shows the spaces in the grandstands. I just tuned in a few minutes ago and I can't believe how sparse the crowd looks.

    ReplyDelete
  125. Red to bad Racebuddy doesn't work on low end computers.

    ReplyDelete
  126. tnt really gets some of the most boring races of the season besides the coke zero 400

    ReplyDelete
  127. Thanks TNT for a graphic of cars behind the wall Nice job.

    ReplyDelete
  128. So- where is Bill Webber? Consultant, Magic show or Blog master?

    ReplyDelete
  129. Good RaceBuddy coverage of green flag pit stops.

  130. This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.

    ReplyDelete
  131. just realized that RB retained my driver selection from last week on the online leaderboard: sweet!

    ReplyDelete
  132. yeah it is a shame that TNT gets this bunch of tracks since as you say they are not typically exciting tracks, but I'm grateful that Fox doesn't have them or ESPN either for that matter.

    I've gotten better information about the racing in the last 2 races with TNT than anything I heard from Fox.

    ReplyDelete
  133. apparently we just missed a spin..bad luck on tnt

    ReplyDelete
  134. Yes, TNT is doing an all media, ground breaking, new age quality broadcast. I am so glad that Kyle Petty has found his calling. He is great!

    ReplyDelete
  135. That's why it was an easy trade-off for Fox when the last contracts were handled. They had no problem giving up Pocono, Michigan, Infineon and the Daytona summer race every other year in exchange for televising the Daytona 500 every year.

    ReplyDelete
  136. I would rather know why the caution before the pits stops.

    ReplyDelete
  137. well look at that, they didn't lie about missing the caution.

    What is it with teammates this year? Some sort of magnetic attraction?

    ReplyDelete
  138. What kind of luck is that that the spin occurs during commercial, except i couldn't tell whether it was Mears or Speed. Not so good being teammates and one spins though. Good broadcast so far!

    ReplyDelete

  140. Teammates are having trouble in Nascar again this week.

    ReplyDelete
  141. Great RaceBuddy shot of the starters stand. One of the flag guys is smoking a cigarette.

    ReplyDelete
  142. OK Kyle Pop Quiz : Name all of the wrecks and problems between ..
    Team Mates this year.
    Take your time ..no fair checking
    with Nascar Records.

    ReplyDelete
  143. I also like that TNT keeps the race on the screen when the cutaway car segment is being seen.

    I hated that Fox always covered up the whole screenw with whatever extraneous info they needed to put on.

    ReplyDelete
  144. nice explanation on the different fuel pums AND a good followup question by dallenbach.

    and didn't gibbs have fuel pump issues a while back?

    ReplyDelete
  145. Hamlin & KyBu; gordon & johnson; the one we just saw, Speed and Mears;

    ReplyDelete
  146. Nate Ryan on twitter said this -

    Teammate skirmishes in 2010. Missing any? 83 vs. 82; 1 vs. 42; 48 vs. 24; 43 vs. 9; 18 vs. 11.

    ReplyDelete
  147. Red, they did but it was addressed on NASCAR Performance that what teams did was redesign the hex shaft that connects to the camshaft and made it larger and longer so it did not break off like they used to.

    ReplyDelete
  148. The commercials though are terribly lame. I'm watching Gilmore Girl re-runs. Isn't that sad!

    And its about to thunderstorm here in NJ -- hope I don't lose power!

    ReplyDelete
  149. Other than "The Closer," those other TNT and TBS shows look pretty lame!

    ReplyDelete
  150. Missed the guy in the starters stand smoking, but noticed RB's pit road reporter doing his impression of Captain Morgan.

    ReplyDelete
  151. This is A+ broadcasting!~~~~~Fox watch this race you will learn something!!!

    ReplyDelete
  152. NorCalFan -- forgot that one! and I shouldn't have since it seriously messed up Gordon's weekend - or should I say put the nail in the terrible race at Pocono.

    ReplyDelete
  153. @david: thanks for that solid info! i've had to imss NP this season due to its new timeslot so i appreciate the "tech talk."

    ReplyDelete
  154. I do watch Leverage (actually I DVR it). Never got into The Closer or Saving Grace.

    ReplyDelete
  155. Hey Gina how are you? Hope your power dosent go out, but my solution when it does during this 6race strech is keep my Laptop battery fully charged so I can always have race buddy!

    ReplyDelete
  156. I thought TNT blew covering the last green flag pit stops.
    Guess I was wrong.
    Coming back from commercial with a full screen of the 88.
    Good business thought, keep the majority happy.

    Good job so far for TNT.
    I really think the "clear air" segment was not needed, but that's just me.


    Great analysis from the top today. I've heard a few new things. Keep it up Kyle and Wally.

    ReplyDelete
  157. I think AA is doing a better job this week maybe he needs several races to get into it.

    ReplyDelete
  158. Hi, Jonathan -- battery in the laptop is good, but if I loses the internet connection it will be all over.

    I agree with you, too, this is an A plus race broadcast.

    ReplyDelete
  159. RaceBuddy is still showing a black screen. Anybody that lost it get it back yet?

    ReplyDelete
  160. Wally is doing a good job too with his updates. That was good stuff about the car coming in and the various lines.

    ReplyDelete
  161. John

    I want to see Rizzoli & Isles, seems interesting to me.

    ReplyDelete
  162. See I like TNT this broadcast reminds me of why I fell in love with this sport in 04 05ish I was amazed at how well the production level was this is good stuff much better than Fox! Fox was like this 4 5 years ago but not anymore and I like Fox I do but after watching this race I see how bad Fox is now a days! If we could just have crank it up lol that I miss

    ReplyDelete
  163. Isn't that sky looking dark?
    Anyone have a weather report?

    ReplyDelete
  164. missed the first half of lyndsey on racebuddy, they forgot to turn her mic up i guess

    ReplyDelete
  165. I am just in amazement, it is SO ENJOYABLE to watch a race where the commentators are not interupting each other, talking about everything but the race, trying to one up each other and trying to actually be the show. These guys on TNT are just calling a great race! Not having and ADHD guy directing the cameras is also much appreciated!!!! One big iomprovement is that TNT is actually keeping the camera on the car for the complete pitops, all 15 seconds of it. Fox had to switch camera views atleast twice in that same time frame.


    THIS IS JUST AWESOME!!!!!

    THANK YOU TNT THANK YOU THANK YOU

    ReplyDelete
  166. Just a quick check shows the weather there to be partly cloudy the rest of the race.

    ReplyDelete
  167. @makiki our nascar weatherman is actually at the track today. i'll see if has an "on site" observation via twitter.

    ReplyDelete
  168. I agree thank you TNT!!! hey that rhymes ;p

    ReplyDelete
  169. I hadn't refreshed the blog for a while before i posted my kudos to TNT for the great broadcast. I found it funny that so many people were having the exact same thoughts at the same time.

  172. Fox was a mess.

    After watching this telecast I see what I was missing every week during the Fox races. I actually get to see the race with TNT's coverage. They follow the race that is happening on the track. Fox had a bad habit of following their own agenda and neglecting the race that was playing out.
