Funny we noticed SPEED might have been off their game a bit last night, wait till ESPN comes on. On their worst possible day the SPEED crew is so far ahead of the ESPN production team AB,AP and DJ are real good, but they just can't do it all. To bad SPEED couldn't work out a deal to take over the Nationwide coverage when ESPN gets into college football season. I know availability of SPEED versus ESPN and all ,but it would be nice.3budhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17086286725276685195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-82983017658208247852008-11-15T13:42:00.000-05:002008-11-15T13:42:00.000-05:00Perhaps people are still resting up after that fan...Perhaps people are still resting up after that fantastic Truck race.
