I do like Knaus--would like to see him paired with Kurt Busch or Kevin Harvick as panelists. Scanner feature is fun; giving away the picture has gotten old, as has Mikey's shtick about clothes, NAPA, and whatever crosses his mind. Frankly, I don't watch it any more. I'll DVR it and if somebody says there was something good I'll forward thru to see it; otherwise I dump it unwatched.

Since they c...What can TWIN do next year to change? Since they cannot compete with NN, let me list the things that need to be changed;<br /><br />1- Appearance, the set looks boring and low budget. Look at the graphics and the modern looking set on ESPN.<br /><br />2-Host, Byrnes may know NASCAR, but he seems to lose control and the inside jokes are annoying. Bestwick is polished and right to the point.<br /><br />3-Panel, I am telling you, fans want to hear perspective and insight from a crew chief and driver who is successful and in the top 12. Hearing from winners makes what they articulate creditable and more interesting. Who wants to hear from a guy who is always in the back of the field and hasn’t won a race in years? I nominate getting a Carl Edwards, Ryan Newman or maybe a Denny Hamlin. Waltrip is annoying.<br /><br />4-Have more driver interview. Interview maybe a driver who finished in the top 5 from the previous race.<br /><br />5-Fans, More fan questions. <br /><br />Finally if you need more advice, watch ESPNs NN or the Monday roundtable. Although ESPN may not always use active drivers, names such as Wallace, Jarrett, Petree and Evernham have the resumes to back up what they say.<br /><br />BTW I am not a casual NASCAR fan I am a diehard,<br /><br /><br />Keep up the good work ESPN. Especially Bestwick and Massaro! Give those guys a raise!dupont24fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303374305826159115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-29130269747559526072009-08-18T18:20:45.648-04:002009-08-18T18:20:45.648-04:00I enjoyed the show last night also.

I think the weak person is Biffle he can't keep up with Michael they need another driver who can push in sometimes, maybe Hermie Sadler. I remember writing to Speed to keep the show on the air several years ago and they did. If it were on an hour earlier it would be even better.Vicky Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13084198036514255332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-90877458078726107892009-08-18T18:03:42.006-04:002009-08-18T18:03:42.006-04:00It's obvious M.

Michael has become a mouthpiece for NASCAR since he became a team owner. Greg Biffle does a great job and has become a lot more relaxed in his role. He is willing to offer his opinion, even when it isn't a popular one. I enjoy Chad's perspective but Steve Byrnes needs to get better control over the program and stop the inside jokes.

Chad is great and Biffle has come a long way,but he's still too boring. As the show has struggled the past few years, I've always asked what purpose it aims to fill. By Monday night, there's been The Speed Report, Victory Lane, Wind Tunnel and Nascar Now. I can't tell you how many times I've heard Mikey and Biffle see a replay of an incident and say, "That's the first time I'm seeing that". Meanwhile, the viewers have seen it ten times with all kinds of analyses and driver interviews of that incident. Twin has turned into a lot of idle chit chat. That's OK, but I'm not going to watch it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-11421817562699967662009-08-18T14:26:44.937-04:002009-08-18T14:26:44.937-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-58471957353490673072009-08-18T14:04:14.640-04:002009-08-18T14:04:14.640-04:00I dont watch the show because it adds nothing to t...I dont watch the show because it adds nothing to the insight of the sport.

The supporting cast is working out fine and Mikey is Mikey.<br />TWIN's format has straightened out nicely, especially after last year's rollout (with some credit to responses from the TDP).<br />Improvements: guest cameos from Ken Shrader, Humpy Wheeler or others in the Charlotte area would be welcome and appreciated in the role of a third seater. Otherwise, this show has the right amount of fluff and entertainment that this viewer likes to see!tom in daytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00114092644890003246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-61221601692197394282009-08-18T13:17:18.826-04:002009-08-18T13:17:18.826-04:00I watch TWIN and mostly like it's fun and easy...I watch TWIN and mostly like it's fun and easy style. I do think they show too much video, would like more discussion. For me MW is wearing thin this year and I emphatically dislike Chad, but I wouldn't know who else to get. Certainly not Despain. Just because I don't like him doesn't mean that Chad isn't suited to the show, he is. Last night was a bit much. I found myself wondering what the comments about the previous 2 races would've been, rather than listen to the non-discussion of MIS. Needs the Hot Seat interview back. Biffle came off better, but on a regular basis Edwards would not be better than him, especially if they must keep MW. Honestly I think its pretty hard to find another driver able to tactfully trade barbs with MW.Donna DeBoerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05794219924983285744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-3588268815811414152009-08-18T12:11:49.896-04:002009-08-18T12:11:49.896-04:00Get rid of Waltrip, plain and simple.
