Maybe everyone is tired. they seem to have a hard time talking tonight with any energy. And Steve Byrnes is using every opportunity in a question or answer to plug other SPEED shows and it is awkward the way he does it.<BR/><BR/>On the plus side, Kasey Kahne is more animated than usual and seems willing to talk, but unfortunately the guys aren't doing anything with that. They're just off tonight. <BR/><BR/>One last thing: what was with the filmed highlight reel from the Dover race "presented by Sprint" being on Trackside about 15 minutes into the program? Seems like this highlights package should be on This week in NASCAR because it was several minutes long. Trackside is supposed to be about live interviews, not a taped wrapup of last week's race. I hope they're not headed away from live stuff.<BR/><BR/>Again, this show is off tonight. Hopefully it's a one time thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-70989825822778999382008-06-13T20:18:00.000-04:002008-06-13T20:18:00.000-04:00Is it known when Tradin' Paint and NASCAR Performa...Is it known when Tradin' Paint and NASCAR Performance were taped?

I usually like Marty, but he didn't come off well IMO. He came off as an apologist for NASCAR, which I usually don't think he does. Maybe since he was on a non-NASCAR show, it was more noticeable. <BR/><BR/>And Marty? When you're talking about a lawsuit with a racial aspect, maybe you shouldn't refer to it as "definitely bit of a black mark" for NASCAR. Just a poor choice of words for the particular issue.<BR/><BR/>The Hotlist phone interview with someone from USA Today was much better than Marty.

Now what they say is trumpeted, and twisted, around the world in a matter of hours. I want the drivers to speak frankly and honestly, but I see nothing wrong with they're being reminded that there is also a lot of good in the sport, and what they say has an impact.<BR/><BR/>Some drivers who complain constantly do look a little silly when Carl Edwards complains about almost nothing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-63580774899149207032008-06-13T18:40:00.000-04:002008-06-13T18:40:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-344235490407293172008-06-13T18:28:00.000-04:002008-06-13T18:28:00.000-04:00WOW is it not bad enough the NA$CAR brass claim th...WOW is it not bad enough the NA$CAR brass claim the drivers are "independent not employees of NA$CAR" and then tell them what they may or may not say, now they tell the media partners " no critical speak" welcome to 1984NA$CAR!<BR/>It amazes me - do they think we fans don't SEE whats on the track on raceday?

"It's detrimental to all of us and to the sport. He was making us aware of the weight of our comments, and you've got to take a moment and think about what we have here. I think that's a good little wake-up call there."</B><BR/><BR/>What's funny is David says he heard NASCAR's TV partners also got a talkin' to.<BR/><BR/><B>Drivers weren’t the only people who got a talking to Friday.

I'm really starting to dislike NASCAR - not the drivers, just NASCAR - and it's starting to affect how I feel about the TV broadcasts, because they clamp down on anyone who has a contrasting thought from theirs.<BR/><BR/>NASCAR...bringing the Kremlin and the Politburo back, American-style! Or as David Poole calls it, a "come-to-Jesus" meeting. That fits too.<BR/><B>The phrase refers to the fervor with which a preacher might make his altar call at the close of a service. It’s not meant to be sacrilegious. When you go to such a meeting, you don’t get advice. You get admonition.</B>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-79317175311392738982008-06-13T17:12:00.000-04:002008-06-13T17:12:00.000-04:00Well Speed just answered the ARCA TV question - it...Well Speed just answered the ARCA TV question - it will be tape-delayed until right after the live Truck broadcast (at about 5:30).<BR/><BR/>Just one request if Rick Allen, Phil Parsons, Michael Waltrip, Krista Voda, Ray Dunlap, or Adam Alexander are reading this - please don't spoil the outcome of the ARCA race during the Truck broadcast like you did a few weeks ago as Kansas.
