It says on NASCAR.com that SPEED is televising one Nationwide race this year, in April. Does that mean it's with the FOX/Speed announce team and production crew, or does the deal allow ESPN to just televise their broadcast on SPEED, like they've done in the past?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-25094600073271827502011-02-08T21:46:52.195-05:002011-02-08T21:46:52.195-05:00Really thought that Dr. Jerry did a great job with...Really thought that Dr. Jerry did a great job with the 4 wide feature.

First off I just ...Watched both, like both but.... First off I just started to laugh at NN because the first 10 minutes or what ever were all about the 48. When comparing that with the opening for the first Hub too funny. Don't get me wrong I missed Chad and JJ and wanted some explanation about the whole pit crew set up for this season but it still made me laugh. NN also seemed behind because we already got this info some time back from Speed and RH. Like getting the different crew chiefs and drivers right in the studio; Johanna Long anybody, this won't happen in Bristol because they sure aren't flying her up there. She can drive herself to the RH set. <br />I can not wait for the Round table with AB, JB, and Schrader; can't remember if I've ever seen Schrader in a tie so that alone will be fun to watch. NN annoyed me with no end of season round table, basically after the light went out in Homestead that was it Nascar didn't exist and then they start too late and seem behind. Will continue to watch but it will be DVR roulette again I suppose if it gets bumped or delayed I'll miss it because I'm not putting a 2-3 hour window on it just in case it got shifted except maybe that first round table. Right now Speed is winning but won't guarantee it stays that way.Newracefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324764517098771035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-89422147736064403232011-02-08T13:32:36.673-05:002011-02-08T13:32:36.673-05:00JD,

If the NFL can't find someone to sing the song without messing up the lyrics or doing their own swing on it, what is Nascar going to do? I was disappointed with NN I forgot to dvr, I came home and put it on, and it was off the air before I realized it. Sad about Rusty's driver, but it has happened before to other drivers and nothing has happened to them.

I like Danielle Trotta's no-fluff interviews on the Hub. She's not afraid to ask tough questions. Interesting that last week the Hub announced Scott Speed's interview would be Monday and today it was pushed to Tuesday. Maybe with Speed's pending litigation against Red Bull, scrutiny played a role in the delay.<br /><br />Slightly off topic, I had to laugh at the Super Bowl's National Anthem debacle yesterday. At least Nascar isn't the only sport that has singers who flub the lyrics and/or try to make the song "their own" but with a viewing audience of 111 million people, the NFL should have made a better choice. IMO, Christine Aguilera's embellished "version" was both painful and embarassing to listen to.NorCalFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373612307351787221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-31708452017703268862011-02-07T23:48:06.943-05:002011-02-07T23:48:06.943-05:00Tracy D about you comment on LM...

I agree about the staleness of Larry Mac,DW, Hammond, Rusty and others where they are like an old couple who can finish each others sentances. Often, I know what they're going to say before they say to include the little quips about how the minnow pond influenced the shape of an old track. I was skeptical when Danielle Trotta came onto the scene given her background. What a pleasant surprise. She just gets better with each show and has done an outstanding job. As an aside, I was really impressed last night with the quality of the camera work and the self discipline of the guys in the booth calling the football game. Nascar could learn a lot from the coverage of the Super Bowl.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
