I wish I would've gotten one.<br /><br />The biggest issue with ESPN's telecasts is the lead announcer. Marty Reid isn't terrible, it's just that Allen Bestwick is so much better. Reid, however, might make a good Pit Studio host. What I'd like to see ESPN do is bring Randy LaJoie back...if the powers that be at NASCAR say he's OK, then why can't The Worldwide Leader?<br /><br />I don't have any issue with the usual pit reporters or show hosts (Welch, Burns, Little...Jerry Punch is a legend). Never really have been a Nicole Manske/Briscoe fan, though.<br /><br />Of course, the Nationwide Series isn't exempt from blame. Take the Cup guys out and force ESPN to not try to convince us that we should all like Danica and it'd be much better.JSpraguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004423810620718055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-24686342041887721742011-04-28T21:33:27.231-04:002011-04-28T21:33:27.231-04:00I think SPEED Channel should be the official NASCA...I think SPEED Channel should be the official NASCAR channel and stop switching networks every 2 months.

NASCAR's oldest division has lost it's TV package except for two events to the "Kiddie World" developmental series. Only Bristol and Louden will have MODIFIED coverage and thats probably due to the fact the "Cup" interlopers will invade those events. Shame on NASCAR and their TV partners for driving another nail into the coffin of the division that started it all.Moddoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02066298896724004466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-88169867957989871342011-04-27T19:59:10.872-04:002011-04-27T19:59:10.872-04:00as usual, I must agree with the majority, I'll...as usual, I must agree with the majority, I'll be watching on Speed, but listening on MRN, not going to put myself through it, listening to the two self-important, all about me all the time Waltrip boys!! for whatever reason, Speed seems to love their foolishness, Oh, welltonybctnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-12966021990199356852011-04-27T18:01:42.321-04:002011-04-27T18:01:42.321-04:00Looks like DW will be busy on Friday.

For Mr. Pockrass I think he needed a feud of the week, and this was easy and available. For ESPN it's a no brainer. NFL drives the truck, we all know it. Post-season of any top level sport should trump a regular season event in what is a sub division of NASCAR, which is what NNS is. ESPN could have stuck it on Classic or taped it for later, give them credit for fixing this, which happened because of a late Easter pushing the NFL back.17972 B.
