The panel of 4 people is working really well with everyone a specialist in one or more areas. It is so much better than TWIN show on Speed.Thanks ESPN!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-64642087220226390812008-05-13T19:59:00.000-04:002008-05-13T19:59:00.000-04:00Anon,Each NASCAR Now episode is re-aired later tha...Anon,<BR/><BR/>Each NASCAR Now episode is re-aired later that evening for the West Coast.<BR/><BR/>The times vary because of the ESPN live programs, so check your local listings or the ESPN.com website in the TV listings page.<BR/><BR/>This is a good show to record on Mondays.<BR/><BR/>JDDaly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-64674085863488421102008-05-13T18:39:00.000-04:002008-05-13T18:39:00.000-04:00Will this show be re-aired??Will this show be re-aired??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-1766551053363618062008-05-13T16:06:00.000-04:002008-05-13T16:06:00.000-04:00Fox/SPEED should snatch Craven and replace one of ...Fox/SPEED should snatch Craven and replace one of their duds, DW, MW, etc. Although I'm not sure he would be comfortable with their Circus/ WWE style of broadcasting NASCAR.

I have been reading his articles and they, also, have been good.<BR/><BR/>Years ago, when Craven was just getting started, one of his high school teachers wrote onto the nascar usenet board that Ricky had been just as focused as a student as he was as a driver - implying that the guy was loaded with smarts.<BR/><BR/>He and Evernham share having their racing careers ended by brain injuries that seemed not to hurt their ordinary brain power.<BR/><BR/>I hope to see him often on ESPN.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-16792116078064106642008-05-13T12:28:00.000-04:002008-05-13T12:28:00.000-04:00Ricky C. was a nice addition to the show.

Craven was a nice surprise, and also agree that he'd be great as a regular on NN, and even on the race broadcasts.<BR/><BR/>Unless I missed it, the only thing I was disappointed in was the lack of mention of the top 35. I was so proud of Blaney running well, coming back from being several points behind Hornish to jump to 35th, yet he didn't even get mentioned. I understand if there's no change in the top 35, but there was this week.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05449782763625881545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-5335420978818920962008-05-13T10:27:00.000-04:002008-05-13T10:27:00.000-04:00it was a good show, I'd like to see more of Ricky....it was a good show, I'd like to see more of Ricky. Those columns he's been writing for Yahoo had a lot of insight so I'm not surprised he makes a good guest. That story from Ray about the parachute was a scream--never heard that one before. It was nice to hear them gush over someone whose last name isn't Busch (the David Ragan interview). I try and focus on Ray professionally--there are plenty of people who have things in their personal lives that we may not like, but this is 'job' time. If I held a grudge over everyone in NASCAR who'd ticked me off over the years I'd have no one left to root for!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-35768430419292608572008-05-13T07:43:00.000-04:002008-05-13T07:43:00.000-04:00I thought that Craven did an excellent job last ni...I thought that Craven did an excellent job last night-knowlegeable,chose his words well and was brief. I like Bestwick,but like most 'analysts' he's really not knowlegeable about the mechanics of a race car. Trust me, skewing the rear axle didn't cause the loose wheels.Nascar has a tolereance on the wheel base and also allows toe-in/out and camber in the rear axle housing believe it or not. The splined ands of the axles are barrel shaped to allow for all that juking. Mr October,Harry Gant, was the first to succeed with rear camber. As for the COT less susceptible to spinning out,the COT doesn't have the 'offset' the old cars had and they now must have 1700# of weight on the right side. Overall,a great show!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-73607997039819730032008-05-13T07:08:00.000-04:002008-05-13T07:08:00.000-04:00JD, you brought up exactly what bugged me just a b...JD, you brought up exactly what bugged me just a bit about the show and that was AB seemingly talking forever either to bring up a new subject or closure of one.<BR/><BR/>As for Ray, it sounds like I'm supposed to dislike him but I just started watching NASCAR last year and know nothing at all about his past. I also realize people make mistakes in life.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16373091827602282290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-62740417820652634252008-05-12T22:24:00.000-04:002008-05-12T22:24:00.000-04:00I also enjoyed Craven...he seemed like a natural f...I also enjoyed Craven...he seemed like a natural fit on this show.<BR/><BR/>I also agree he should be on NN...Boris Said really ruined it for some of us with his hissy fit last month at Marcos Ambrose....If Craven wants it, give him the job!

He was excellent tonight and I enjoyed the show.<BR/><BR/>We need to keep in mind that Mr. Craven and Mr. Evernham both worked together at Hendrick Racing(Evernham as Gordon's crew chief, and Craven driving the #25 car). So it is not surprising that they meshed well.Ritchiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884549705336979557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-13538393289380443872008-05-12T20:56:00.000-04:002008-05-12T20:56:00.000-04:00I didn't watch the show, because I won't watch whe...I didn't watch the show, because I won't watch when Evernham is on.
