They wrapped NASCAR Now Sunday night at Homestead. <br /><br />Then, they flew Smoke to Bristol on Monday and walked him around ESPN with NO NASCAR PROGRAMMING ON THE AIR.<br /><br />SPEED was trapped in a management tug of war. Now, things have been changed and the new prez should show us the direction they intend to follow soon.<br /><br />The one thing SPEED should do immediately is get something on the air from the studio updating either the NASCAR or the general motorsports stories happening before Xmas.<br /><br />JDDaly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-40731724146264075452011-12-21T16:13:16.610-05:002011-12-21T16:13:16.610-05:00Buschseries61, The Allmendinger move has been in t...Buschseries61, The Allmendinger move has been in the works for at least a week according to Lee Spencer on SiriusXM NASCAR this morning. He met with Shell, AAA and Dodge last week. Thanks to the lack of TV coverage and a lot of the media that covers NASCAR being on vacation, it apparently was easy to keep it secret.DaveM4210https://www.blogger.com/profile/08661146275364277936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-74228045422628781652011-12-21T15:15:13.823-05:002011-12-21T15:15:13.823-05:00JD, why is there such an absence of tv coverage? ...JD, why is there such an absence of tv coverage? No buyers of advertisement, costs too high, not enough viewers, just management decisions to not do it, etc.? It just seems a nascar program, during the off season, would make a ton of money.

It was the newspapers that carried the racing news. (of course they're all gone now) Just like 8-track, cassettes and CDs will be a historical footnote between turntables/records and digital distribution (ala MP3) television racing news shows just can't keep pace with the transition to the web, facebook, and tweets. And when they attempt to integrate digital media in they don't pull it off well. Unless there's a car going around the track I don't need TV to follow racing.<br /><br />Love the site JD, keep up the great work in the new yearSnowdogBobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-84284134200284972762011-12-21T14:08:10.421-05:002011-12-21T14:08:10.421-05:00JD, I have lots of questions - fortunately you'...JD, I have lots of questions - fortunately you've been able to answer most of them on this blog otherwise the NASCAR news is a barren wasteland.<br /><br />It didn't used to be this way - they need to cater to more than the casual fans who may only be following the "chase" if they want to put butts in the seats at the tracks.GinaV24https://www.blogger.com/profile/10828669350024430018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-52907269250027046582011-12-21T14:04:51.476-05:002011-12-21T14:04:51.476-05:00No contact from SPEED on any kind of news program ...No contact from SPEED on any kind of news program or special.Daly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-70444250053936886432011-12-21T13:23:20.507-05:002011-12-21T13:23:20.507-05:00bknotts - So true!

There are still great storylines yet to be solved, like the shrinking opportunities Ragan & Busch have left to pursue in Cup.<br /><br />It's amazing how fast Allmendinger was able to change rides. Pretty much until yesterday, Ragan was the lead candidate for the #22. I think Allmendinger was the better choice.

Hopefully Speed, since they did the special Race Hub show when Kurt Busch got booted from the Penske 22 Dodge, they will again today do a special edition and cover the 5pm press conference announcing A J Allmendinger as the new driver of the 22. If they do not, I will listen to it on Sirius XM NASCAR.

Speed really should restart Race Hub on January 9 or 10, then do a follow up on the 16th. For the next couple of weeks, they could cut back to a half hour until a week or 2 before the Bud Shootout. They SHOULD be doing daily half hour shows now, and next week between Christmas and New Year's Day. The SiriusXM NASCAR weekday programs are going to be live next week instead of going to "Best of..." like they did Thanksgiving Day weekend. Speed will have live coverage of the Barrett Jackson auction January 17 to 22, but I think the big NASCAR media events are that same weekend, and should be given coverage.<br /><br />Kudos to Scott Ackerson for meeting with staffers at Speed, but I hope he is reading this web page deep into older posts! Hopefully Byrnes and company are giving him an ear full on the lack of NASCAR news coverage!DaveM4210https://www.blogger.com/profile/08661146275364277936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-3425580367382907042011-12-21T00:23:21.725-05:002011-12-21T00:23:21.725-05:00Speaking of conflict of interest in the Hollywood ...Speaking of conflict of interest in the Hollywood Hotel, there will be even more over at ESPN.<br /><br />What I want to know is, if a Roush-owned car wins a Nationwide race, will Carl Edwards do a backflip off the Tim Brewer cutaway car?Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14920629334740298963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-83774821184637443442011-12-20T21:12:17.527-05:002011-12-20T21:12:17.527-05:00Thanks for keeping up with all the news, JD.

The internet has saved NASCAR from dead TV.<br /><br />When RaceHub comes back at the end of January, all the news already revealed and soon to be revealed the next few weeks will be such old news they might as well not even bother trying to review it.<br /><br />As for ESPN, they have been completely tuned out of NASCAR silly season. The ESPN casual NASCAR viewers that checked out with ESPN at Homestead will be baffled by the landscape of the sport in 2012. That requires a recap of the winter. Whoever writes the script for the first show of the season needs a nice Christmas gift. <br /><br />ESPN will answer a lot of questions when they discuss Reid's fate and Carl Edwards' placement in the broadcasts.Buschseries61noreply@blogger.com
