And Rome asked reasonably intelligent questions for a non-racing guy. At least the rest of ESPN seem to be aware that NASCAR exists....glenc1https://www.blogger.com/profile/16502120401536207092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-46796395689985204802009-02-19T12:06:00.000-05:002009-02-19T12:06:00.000-05:00Watched NASCAR Now last afternoon.

But one show does not make a season(suits at espn make note). <BR/><BR/>I went to TDP archives for 2007 overnight for reference. Mike Massaro was on the radar then. What a good soldier for the network. I remember watching espn with him at the heliport to get interviews. Good to see him on a regular basis for NN, a pleasure to watch as we have seen him be a student of the game that benfits all of us and his knowledge of racing. It can only add to the NN broadcast. Just once and a while JD, I wish they would dish the formal wear. <BR/><BR/>Opps, oh yea forgot the #3 is the topic. Enjoyed the interview with Mr. Hinton. I think if the Earnhardt family would approve, those short essays would make a nice read in the future.Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11036612315003068127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-44660162761778883622009-02-19T10:02:00.000-05:002009-02-19T10:02:00.000-05:00What do you mean Ed Hinton is just getting the han...What do you mean Ed Hinton is just getting the hang of TV? Faint Praise. He is much smoother than many others who have been on for a long time. Jeff Hammond has never gotten the hang of TV and probably never will. And who cares what they wear? I hardly notice as I watch for quality content, not a fashion show. If we are truly trying to improve TV coverage, lets aim at the areas of weakness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-66160427616693892212009-02-19T08:34:00.000-05:002009-02-19T08:34:00.000-05:00I don't know, Dot--even veterans have admitted it'...I don't know, Dot--even veterans have admitted it's so much the car, and not the driver...if the 20team brings the same car and Joey doesn't mess it up, he could indeed run at the front.

It is early, but so far I haven't heard much in the way of "gossipy" news and they seem not to shy away from tire issues and race incident discussion (even if Andy Petree was way off-base). I am looking forward to what they have to offer this year.<BR/>BTW- I did hear AB mention the truck race on SPEED last ...Thursday? andf it was up on the graphic as well. I do agree that needs to be more consistant.<BR/><BR/>Tom<BR/>Inverness, FLTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04004047098122631995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-4869596220922398062009-02-18T23:55:00.000-05:002009-02-18T23:55:00.000-05:00Nice tribute to Dale.

All the laps they led and they're the ones to watch this weekend. I think they forgot that Joey is in the 20 this year.<BR/><BR/>Poor Ed. All dressed up just to sit in his living room. Why doesn't BSPN relax that dress code? I enjoyed his stories.<BR/><BR/>RIP Dal3Dothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15701502016993312530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-24043495979212158112009-02-18T21:11:00.000-05:002009-02-18T21:11:00.000-05:00Ed Hinton's interview was a good touch.

It's a comfort to know.<BR/><BR/>I like Massaro in this role.

He was truly an amazing man. So many things have happened in the sport ,since he has been gone that, I think, would not have happened had he not been killed. <BR/><BR/>I believe Dale Jr when he said he did not cause the wreck on purpose. He has never driven like that and I don't believe he will start. <BR/><BR/>Thank yo for bringing your site back up, truly appreciated.<BR/><BR/>MarilynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-31434154469749347262009-02-18T19:54:00.000-05:002009-02-18T19:54:00.000-05:00I'm not sure the family would have been pleased, b...I'm not sure the family would have been pleased, but I enjoyed Ed's stories. It was a nice show.<BR/><BR/>While it's not a true 'promo' to talk to Todd Bodine, at least they mentioned the truck series.<BR/><BR/>I find it interesting that Todd, Junior,, Brian and Jason all made errors and Jason, whom I thought least guilty, ends up with a 5 lap penalty. I think the analysts have done well at covering the 'inconsistency' of those decisions. As honest as they can be, anyways.glenc1https://www.blogger.com/profile/16502120401536207092noreply@blogger.com
