That's when it came out that it was SPEED that raised the objection. Pretty big difference between SPEED and NASCAR imo, and it's surprising that Johnny seemed to not be in the loop on who was responsible. There's a few other times when a story has made the rounds via the rumor mill that a driver or team has lost a sponsorship because NASCAR wouldn't allow it, I wonder if there are other times when NASCAR is blamed when in reality there may be more to the story like it appears may be the case here.Deborahhttp://www.aplaceformyphotos.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-56500674260065329422009-04-01T10:25:00.000-04:002009-04-01T10:25:00.000-04:00@Deborah-I found it interesting that in the Benson...@Deborah-<BR/><BR/>I found it interesting that in the Benson interview on Monday that first mentioned the issue he said it was NASCAR that killed the sponsorship.

The deal was basically squashed by what he called the NASCAR TV partners. He didn't say Speed specifically but I think we can read between the lines.

MY cup interest has stayed the same and my Nationwide interest goes up and down depending on the storylines or racetracks. But the trucks have actually gotten me to want to watch them more. Mostly because the racing is good and the production and announcers are generally great. I was actually really bummed that I missed the Wizard of Oz broadcast last year. <BR/><BR/>It's particularly insane that Speed would ignore the trucks so badly. It's THEIR OWN BROADCAST! Makes no sense at all. But then again, with season after season of Pinks/secret-life-of-towtrucks/extreme-auto-makeover under their belts, why would we ever think Speed would make a smart decision about racing?Photojoshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-44353077311332110702009-03-31T11:50:00.000-04:002009-03-31T11:50:00.000-04:00Did not watch either programs last night, but this...Did not watch either programs last night, but this always seems to happen when there is a truck race... they get treated like the second-class series.hotarunoreply@blogger.com
