Nice to see the truck guy playing along. I also think Rutledge did a good job today, much prefer this type of silliness to the make a total fool of yourseld stuff he has done in the past. Raceday are you listening. Off to watch the trucks.<BR/><BR/>PS Soph I like the T cupNewracefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324764517098771035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-60928213873718646702008-02-23T15:19:00.000-05:002008-02-23T15:19:00.000-05:00Indeed, the media needs to focus more on the guys ...Indeed, the media needs to focus more on the guys in the series and not the CUPwhackers.<BR/><BR/>:-)Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789033556426951026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-91281040839468247772008-02-23T15:05:00.000-05:002008-02-23T15:05:00.000-05:00I also enjoyed the interview contest at the end of...I also enjoyed the interview contest at the end of NASCAR Live.

It's certainly nice to have Speed pick up the slack for ESPN, who had no intention of airing any Nationwide practice or qualifying sessions this weekend.<BR/><BR/>The cameras and the talk of the announcers never left the race track. Please take notes on how it's done ESPN. We only saw cars ON THE TRACK. No fancy video packages, no pre-taped interviews, no pre-taped 5 minute features on the Dish Tech Center, ESPN Pit Studio, or Draft Tracks machine. This coverage was not all about the TV network covering it, it was about the on-track action and I'm very thankfully for Speed's excellent coverage. It was also great to see most of the cars appear on camera at some point during the session, even the lesser teams like Mike Harmon.<BR/><BR/>It's also very nice to see Rutledge doing something productive for a change. I very much prefer seeing him doing interviews instead of riding around on a scooter yelling "Weeee!" or playing in a kiddie pool or something completely ridiculous and unnecessary. I'm glad he's actually adding something to the broadcast for a change.stricklinfan82https://www.blogger.com/profile/01808897974344304657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-28270934554393873532008-02-23T14:17:00.000-05:002008-02-23T14:17:00.000-05:00I know that filling in during a rain delay is toug...I know that filling in during a rain delay is tough, but did anyone notice the back to back and almost identical Mike Wallace interview by two different reporters yesterday?Geezehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414087196686631838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-10712486202238570642008-02-23T14:00:00.000-05:002008-02-23T14:00:00.000-05:00I'm getting a pixelated picture when SPEED goes to...I'm getting a pixelated picture when SPEED goes to a garage cam.

Looks like Speed even gave us their cup practice guys. Has Reutimann become the go to guy for Speed. They seem to intervieew him alot (I like Reut so I don't mind but last year unless it was cup qualifying it was like he was invisible). Rutledge's interview of Carl was pretty funny, good thing his mom taught him well, always your hand after using the facilities.Newracefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324764517098771035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-64633074285645382322008-02-23T12:27:00.000-05:002008-02-23T12:27:00.000-05:00Thanks for beating me to the update, I think pract...Thanks for beating me to the update, I think practice is a much better idea for the series at this point.<BR/><BR/>JDDaly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-47339442637191255222008-02-23T12:16:00.000-05:002008-02-23T12:16:00.000-05:00Just to give everyone a heads-up NASCAR cancelled ...Just to give everyone a heads-up NASCAR cancelled Nationwide qualifying and will instead hold final practice for the Nationwide cars at 12:30.
