I can say this though; I've never been a fan of Rutledge Wood. He's a little to goofy for me. I prefer a more serious approach to NASCAR coverage. But that's just me. I know he can show an intelligent side at times, because I've seen it. I might add that I do like humor and if someone has something funny to say I want to hear it, but not by goofing around on a set.Jim_812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-80436670317638432352012-03-07T12:03:39.454-05:002012-03-07T12:03:39.454-05:00Who are these viewers that like trackside?

I'll admit I only got about five minutes in before I groaned & turned the channel. And I'll say it, I like the people on it (well, haven't seen Marianela actually do much...) It's the format of the show and the ridiculousness of it all.

Phoenix TV...SPIN ALERT SPIN ALERT SPIN ALERT!!!!!!<br /><br />Phoenix TV Ratings: NASCAR Sprint Cup Racing on FOX posted a solid 5.0/10 Sunday for the Subway Fresh Fit 500 from Phoenix. Though off -6% from last year's 5.3/11, yesterday's 5.0/10 ranked as the second highest-rated event of the weekend in the metered markets. It is estimated that once the national ratings are released, the Subway Fresh Fit 500 will be the highest-rated and most-watched event of the weekend. The race rating grew throughout the telecast peaking at a 5.8/11 from 6-6:15pm, but last year's race ran later and faced less competition in the closing laps which allowed last year's race to peak at a 6.4/12 in the final quarter hour. Through the first two races of the season, NASCAR Sprint Cup Racing is averaging a 6.4/11, down -6% from last year's 6.8/15. See the 2012 season TV Ratings so far, just overnights as not much info out there yet, on the 2012 TV Ratings page.(3-6-2012)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-33264877773528615512012-03-07T09:54:22.778-05:002012-03-07T09:54:22.778-05:00Speed is reportedly happy with Trackside??
