When he disappeared and Michael Waltrip was added, there is no reason for me to watch it. MW is the television equivalent of a poison pill to me. I consciously avoid all programming where he is doing his broadcaster, rude child, sponsor plugger, NASCAR shill persona.<br /><br />Pay TV?

KP is not afraid of calling out Nascar and others but does it without the crassness (is that even a word) of Jimmy.<br /> <br />To be honest I would have prefered Larry Mac to stay on VL I liked having the crew chief perspective, he can ask an indepth question that the winning crew chief is more likely to answer in the excitement of the win that they'll keep to themselves if asked later, I saw him get things out of Chad last year (not a lot but some) that he avoided answering later. Larry Mac watches a race from a different perspective than a driver and I liked getting both. <br /><br />As far as Jimmy's show, I'm thinking it will be like watching the accident by the side of the road you can't help but look. Will I keep looking, that depends on how bad the accident is.<br /><br />Scanner chatter is always a good thing but it would be nice to have someone other than the announcers talk about it unless they are going to make some calls a head of time to get us the inside scoop. A big concern for me is that if it's just a repeat of the same scanner chatter on NN like TWIN had then what's the point. <br /><br />I really can't say much about Inside Nascar since I will not be seeing it except for what is online for free. Mikey isn't a problem for me but this show doesn't have the foil required to balance it (Chad) and since Brad can go over the top too. Oh my! and if it's the goofball Chris Myers, look out. Randy could be the only voice of reason there and that won't be enough.Newracefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324764517098771035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-22520563264006831222010-01-23T09:28:00.025-05:002010-01-23T09:28:00.025-05:00I have no interest in the new program on Showtime ...I have no interest in the new program on Showtime and absolutely no interest in listening to Kyle Petty on any show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-43074222470067964862010-01-22T22:34:12.408-05:002010-01-22T22:34:12.408-05:00JD...I don't think anon said it wasn't str...JD...I don't think anon said it wasn't structured...just saying...unless you edited the comment.<br /><br />He/she said they *liked* it that way, as do I, though not necessarily better (just different).

VERY disappointed Kyle Petty won't be on Showtime's Inside NASCAR. And I seriously question having TWO panelists who are allied team owners!! For quite a while I mostly bit my tongue about Waltrip's plugging of his sponsors on TWIN (I made 2 formal complaints) but I will not be cutting any such slack anymore unless I hear such sponsors have actual signed onto the show (to pay for online/phone access maybe), simply out of fairness to other team owners and sponsors. ONE HINT of deliberate MWR/JTG-D sponsor favoritism on Inside NASCAR, and I will be writing one scathing letter and be gone. I figured it wasn't going to be a problem with just Brad D, but with the addition of MW? I'm already shaking my head. <br />I also looked fwd to Kyle Petty giving his honest opinion race analysis. I want that from all 4. Now, with MW, Brad D might not step up doing that and just echo MW's recent happy happy joy joy NASCAR shilling. <br />I love Race Hub, I watch NN, I'll give Jimmy Spencer's show a chance, I like hearing scanners I couldn't monitor so I'll watch that. I usually DVR race pre shows. And Victory Lane of course if one of my drivers wins.Donna DeBoerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05794219924983285744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-85598985279657506212010-01-22T08:19:57.296-05:002010-01-22T08:19:57.296-05:00I'm interested to see if Kenny Wallace tones i...I'm interested to see if Kenny Wallace tones it down when he's sitting next to Kyle.<br /><br />As far as the Showtime effort I don't pay for the channel and this show certainly is no cause to start now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-18037299890726992362010-01-22T05:51:50.714-05:002010-01-22T05:51:50.714-05:00bevo said...

Unfortunately, as somebody else said earlier, I am extremely underwhelmed with 3/4 of the lineup and not likely to go out of my way to watch it.<br /><br />On the other hand, I will be now much more likely to try and watch the pre and post-race shows on Speed with the addition of Kyle Petty. While I do not always agree with Kyle and have some reservations after his silence following the infamous newspaper interview involving him along with Spencer and McReynolds, I do feel like he cares, gives honest opinions, and wants to make any broadcast that he is involved with fun to watch as well as informative.<br /><br />As for <i>NASCAR Now</i>, I was greatly satisfied with it last year. I am glad it is going to continue as is. If accompanied by a better overall race broadcast and more proper support from ESPN, it should only get better.<br /><br />As for <i>What's the Deal?</i>...nope. Spencer has lost me as a fan. His buffoonery on <i>RaceDay</i> was one thing but his attitude during the last season of TWIN put me off on him for good. That will be a show that I will go out of my way <i>not</i> to watch.KoHoSohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457687879505057220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-63024536895135900472010-01-22T03:13:40.523-05:002010-01-22T03:13:40.523-05:00Count me as another one disappointed with the Show...Count me as another one disappointed with the Showtime announcement.
