Best racing there is !!<BR/><BR/>The canned taped bits about the chase are a snooze to me...i have seen the "Kim Burton cam" way too often and this looked like repeats to me. They could easily keep this to ONE SEGMENT on the show and give the TRUCKS a segment. Skinner deserved to be heard from and the other top drivers.<BR/><BR/>SHAME on SPEED and TWIN for this Truck series could be on life support and they don't seem to care.<BR/><BR/>I gotta go find the TWIN on nascar.com clip :)Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789033556426951026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-24960446677699851292008-09-23T18:16:00.000-04:002008-09-23T18:16:00.000-04:00Why is there no CTS coverage on TWIN? They're ...Why is there no CTS coverage on TWIN? They're on the same channel. I was at the race Saturday night and there was quite a turn out. I hope I didn't attend the last truck race at LVMS. The drivers had their autograph session and that had a nice turn out also. I don't get it. If you love NASCAR racing, go to a truck race. Same thrill, smaller crowd.<BR/><BR/>Mikey was too funny last night. I do think he and Chad play off each other well. It appears that Mikey is trying to absorb what Chad is saying about set ups, etc. <BR/><BR/>I think it's time again for the TDP posters to get TWIN to add a little truck content to the show. NW, too. Hopefully we'll get a third panelist. Maybe someone different each week. They listened to us about the format and changed it, in mid season no less. See ESPN, it can be done. <BR/><BR/>The Chase driver segments are just a mish mash of what we have already seen. They should've just made another show about them. But, that would've preempted one the T&A or car building shows.Dothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15701502016993312530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-626876257457140822008-09-23T10:43:00.000-04:002008-09-23T10:43:00.000-04:00I ADORE the truck series.

He is such a "student" of NASCAR racing. Now that he is allowed to talk more, he now knows how to shut Mikey up and get a word in, he speaks with so much in depth knowledge of the sport, it's amazing to me. No wonder he is a two time champion.<BR/><BR/>TDP wrote; <BR/>"While this may fit a broader agenda of exposing The Chase drivers to casual fans, viewers watching this program know all of them and would have been better-served with other content."<BR/><BR/>Possibly some truth to this, but even if I know the driver, I do like to hear current soundbites or interviews to see that all is good on the personal side and the fire still burns inside. <BR/>I enjoyed seeing that Jeff and Kim are still the special couple. (something to look up to)<BR/><BR/>Humpy Wheeler's segments are informative and thought provoking.<BR/><BR/>You would think SPEED would do more to promote the truck series. Which they may be and I don't see it. After 9:00 pm Monday I don't watch SPEED until practice starts of Friday. (hmmmm)<BR/>And for the channels I do watch I don't recall any advertising for the truck series. <BR/>It would be a better use of time if they spent the "preview" segment for the trucks and Nationwide series and only a minute on the next race. For the ones of us who watch to much, by race day we're full of knowledge about what's going on.<BR/><BR/><BR/>As i've watched a few recent recorded TWIN shows i've noticed that there is 2 1/2 minutes of commercials at each break. I thought earlier this year, and last year, there was only 2 minutes of commercials. <BR/><BR/>Now I'm off to look up "dinker". Only Michael!Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10695831353283754366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-72367744554068500292008-09-22T22:17:00.000-04:002008-09-22T22:17:00.000-04:00I had a great time watching TWIN, I was very enlig...I had a great time watching TWIN, I was very enlighting listening to Chad explain what things a crew chief can do to make a car better without giving away his secrets in reponse to a very serious question by Mikey. <BR/>I wonder if the Chase driver video clips have appeared because Speed dropped their Chase show and they are putting the pieces where ever they can?Newracefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324764517098771035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-37734729321512006212008-09-22T21:43:00.000-04:002008-09-22T21:43:00.000-04:00That is a great point.
