I couldn't do it.<BR/>Good show on Trackside, different, but ok. I really missed Elliot.<BR/><BR/>I laughed out loud when JJ told Dilner he looked like Rutledge.<BR/>All in all just a solid full day of on air professionalism.

The normally fun hour-long show with 4 guys just sitting around having a great time talking racing with each other and the guests was unfortunately turned into a far less exciting "Chevrolet Outdoors Hour presented by Realtree". I personally did not enjoy the format of dressing the set and the hosts in Realtree outdoors clothing and decorations, having Realtree executives on the set talking about their company and unveiling their special paint schemes, and having a little bit of racing talk overshadowed by a bunch of hunting and fishing talk by the Team Realtree drivers, the Team Realtree owner, and Team Realtree-dressed hosts. I will be sure to find something else to watch the next time this "all corporate, sponsored by ____" theme returns to Trackside.<BR/><BR/>Cup practice was enjoyable. Cup qualifying wasn't perfect (we missed several laps for full-screen interviews, videos, advertisements, and commercials) but was still far better than anything ESPN has ever provided us on a Friday. ESPN covering Bristol's 15 second per lap qualifying with true-live coverage that would have missed 3-4 cars every commercial break and skipped almost every other car's run by filling the screen with video packages, stat displays, and studio guests would have truly been the dictionary definition of "debacle".<BR/><BR/>The one thing I would like to see the announcers correct is their champion's provisional talk during qualifying. When there is only one past champion in the go-or-go-home group, it doesn't matter if he uses the champion's provisional or not. Go-or-go-homers aren't "rooting for him to time in" because the same 8 go-or-go-homers make it regardless - the champion and the 7 fastest go-or-go-homers other than the champion. Whether Bill Elliott had won the pole today or qualified last and used the champion's provisional, the same 3 guys would have missed the race and the same 7 non-guaranteed drivers would have made the show. If anything the other go-or-go-homers would have actually been rooting FOR Bill to need the champion's provisional so he would get closer to reaching the 6 champion's provisional limit and become just another "normal" go-or-go-homer that would have to time in for all the races remaining in the season (like Dale Jarrett had happen last year).stricklinfan82https://www.blogger.com/profile/01808897974344304657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-72485307155966773102008-08-22T17:09:00.000-04:002008-08-22T17:09:00.000-04:00This has been a fun day.Thank you, SPEED team!Schr...This has been a fun day.<BR/>Thank you, SPEED team!<BR/><BR/>Schrader, Awesome Bill, and Sterling in the race!

Poor Mark, was trying to talk and Bobby was making all that racket! That was at Chi-town IIRC when we had Muppet-gate! It was funny because Tony didn't even have a Muppet on his car and he was beyond pissed! It was a shame because a great promotion was spoiled by that mess :(. But it was nice of Mr. Henson's company, FOX, and some of the drivers to have fun in the end :).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-80621368874171873822008-08-22T16:00:00.000-04:002008-08-22T16:00:00.000-04:00Sophia said...
