I'm looking forward to seeing Allen back in the saddle again. He got the shaft too many times and it hurt to watch it, so this is an excellent choice for NASCAR Now and should make it a watchable show. I like Steve Byrnes a lot, he does a great job as a host and Kenny Schrader's humor just tickles me big time. However, Waltrip and Knaus? Well,they both leave me saying -- why? I'll probably tune in and see whether TWIN is worth my time or not, but it sure is a good start for the new seasonGinaV24https://www.blogger.com/profile/10828669350024430018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-19207461278139305092008-02-03T19:27:00.000-05:002008-02-03T19:27:00.000-05:00Given Knaus's reputation for being the most suspen...<B>Given Knaus's reputation for being the most suspended Crew Chief in NASCAR history, I think this hurts the show's integrity, and because of him and my feelings toward him, I refuse to watch it.</B><BR/><BR/>Haven't been following this sport for long, have you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-28631741700922646642008-02-03T18:03:00.000-05:002008-02-03T18:03:00.000-05:00Can not wait for TWIN and am hopeful for NN.

Have not checked, but in 2007 Greg Biffle was 1 of the rotating driver guest-hosts. In 2007 the PRN show replay could be listened to off PRN's website after the show ran live.<BR/>I do have some reservations about SPEED adding a 4th panelist to the show, unless the idea is that often one of them might not be able to be on.<BR/>It does seem almost like deja vu all over again with Allen B hosting a Monday night show that sounds like it might be focused on the past weekend's race, while SPEED aims its Monday night show to spend less time with the previous race.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-89184772886085879392008-02-03T15:26:00.000-05:002008-02-03T15:26:00.000-05:00Unfortunately, NASCAR Now isn't being picked up by...Unfortunately, NASCAR Now isn't being picked up by either TSN or Rogers SportsNet, so the show won't be seen here in Canada, which, by the sounds of it is too bad. As for This Week In NASCAR, I was totally looking forward to seeing this "new" show until I read that Chad Knaus was going to be joining the panel. Given Knaus's reputation for being the most suspended Crew Chief in NASCAR history, I think this hurts the show's integrity, and because of him and my feelings toward him, I refuse to watch it. Bootie would have been a more respectable choice.

INC was a favorite of mine when Bestwick was hosting it and the guys would destroy the script 10 minutes into it. It was like a group of guys just sitting around the living room talking about the race the next day. You could almost see yourself sitting there with them. That all went away when Disdain took over. Now it sounds like it will be back and so will I. <BR/><BR/>As for NASCAR NOW. I gave it a chance but just couldn't stand Klueless as the host and the way he knew nothing of the sport and and tried to make every little thing a controversy. With Bestwick at the helm it should be a much better and more informing show.<BR/><BR/>Thank you ESPN and SPEED!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-61845927330831559252008-02-03T10:23:00.000-05:002008-02-03T10:23:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-11045613993301947282008-02-03T02:49:00.000-05:002008-02-03T02:49:00.000-05:00Boy does it sound like I'm going to be digging mon...Boy does it sound like I'm going to be digging monday nights this season!! <BR/>AB first, then the laughs with Byrnes and crew!!<BR/>I haven't been this excited for the season's TV package in years.
