It seems to be all over the place this season and I don't care for it. <BR/><BR/>Yes, things happen and yes, teams get busted for pushing the boundaries but to rehash it day after day, show after show, brings the sport to the same level as all of those trashy gossip magazines at the grocery store checkout. <BR/><BR/>Reading about Manske pushing Jack Roush with her questions concerns me. Are these reporters trying to get a negative reaction from their interviewees? Are they hoping someone will snap and bite their head off so that they will be able to go out and create a 'this guys's a mean jerk' story for the media sharks? And the gullible fans who feed on crap like this? I don't put anything past these reporters as they thrive on sensationalism and gossip. <BR/><BR/>There's enough negative stuff in the world. Why add to it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-75030505127313770652008-03-10T12:26:00.000-04:002008-03-10T12:26:00.000-04:00Actually Nascar took a win from Ricky Rudd in 1991...Actually Nascar took a win from Ricky Rudd in 1991 at Sonoma after he spun Davey Allison on the last lap.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-12669828606732331322008-03-10T04:33:00.000-04:002008-03-10T04:33:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-29922687080154764402008-03-09T18:36:00.000-04:002008-03-09T18:36:00.000-04:00Sophia, the ONLY time Nascar took a victory away f...Sophia, the ONLY time Nascar took a victory away from a driver was in 1965, from David Pearson.

Last year, they started showing the half hour version daily at 6:30, but moved it to 6 after the college football daily show started its run. It was obvious that ESPN either thought the CF show was more popular from past ratings or thought it would end up being more popular than NN.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-25095594104064781282008-03-09T13:20:00.000-04:002008-03-09T13:20:00.000-04:00p.s.

I feel they really need to do that now or they will lose credibility. I have never heard so many drivers talk into a microphone about being ANGRY about the excuse from the Roush boys.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I caught part of NNow but fell asleep. It seemed a good show except where she cut off Kyle but apologized.<BR/><BR/>Biffle or somebody said in a print article NASCAR needs to TAKE AWAY wins to stop the cheating.<BR/><BR/>Has that been mentioned on any tv show?<BR/><BR/>I had heard all along that 4 bolts were involed in the lid so the fact "all of them vibrated off" was tough for me to swallow. Let alone savvy guys in the garage.<BR/><BR/>I missed part of Race day but just wondered if NASCAR needs to take away the WIN. Their old philosophy that fans will know who the winner is when they leave the track does not hold water with me.<BR/><BR/>Until they get SERIOUS about penalties and stop screwing up the rules themselves or staying fuzzy with them, the sport will look like a joke to those outside of it.<BR/><BR/>And those of us within it are tired of the FINES of the week.

A basketball game is scheduled during traditional NASCAR Now time. <BR/><BR/>I've been waiting to see what ESPN would do with NASCAR this year after the Daytona 500. Last year coverage dropped off after the 500. This year, coverage on SportsCenter and ESPN News has been good for Cali and LV. Probably will be good tonight. <BR/><BR/>But then...the real test comes. The next week and month is filled with NCAA tourney, then comes NBA playoffs. I've got a strong feeling that coverage is going to drop off now, pick up around the Brickyard, and drop off again when college football starts.<BR/><BR/>Next week, the Bristol race is scheduled to end just when top 64 bracket placement is announced. Somehow I think ESPN NEWS and SportsCenter will place a little more priority on "bracketology" than Bristol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-6665270787783917762008-03-09T12:39:00.000-04:002008-03-09T12:39:00.000-04:00You dont think the toyota rep could be lying throu...You dont think the toyota rep could be lying through their teeth trying to tear down an organization that is kicking their rearend out on the track?

Chenglis did an incomplete report on Friday and fixed it today.<BR/><BR/>Nate Ryan was on Tradin' Paint and was allowed to skate away without being pressed about his real agenda. The failure of this program to address this issue is contained in the Tradin' Paint column.<BR/><BR/>The original column about the NYT was pointing to the fact that the NYT website lists NASCAR as a minor sport and puts the stories from all the reporters in the "other sports" bin. It was the topic of a subsequent conversation in an NYT meeting and Viv's next story had quite a long run on the front page of the Sports Section on the NYT site. <BR/><BR/>I hope that helps to dial you in on my take on those issues.

Or at the very least, turn it down. Does anyone in the production truck/booth realize that their insidious music drowns out most of what their announcers have to say?
