(maybe not that bad but close)<BR/>It did seem somber though. Not much excitement to be celebrating 50 years. Brad would have been a kid in a candy store there. I think he would have asked questions I could relate to, and had fun. <BR/>That is my #1 problem with ESPN. I'm human, I make mistakes, ESPN and the announcers are no different. I haven't enjoyed my profession for years, so I tune to NASCAR for knowledge, fun and racin. ESPN most days is just dull, and this celebration was DULL. I'm sure Shannon is trying, but pairing her with Nicole just didn't work. <BR/>And for the only funny part of the show, Nicole said about 6 minutes in "...it was some 50 years ago this week that a young man named Richard Petty first climbed behind the reel of a wace car"... <BR/>I'm not being hateful by bringing that up, it's just funny in all of the seriousness (if that's a word) of ESPN. <BR/>I'm not a Ryan Burr fan but he would have been the better choice for the "news" correspondent.<BR/>It appeared like there may have been a terrible time delay between Nicole and Shannon.Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10695831353283754366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-91780488106807921442008-07-09T14:20:00.000-04:002008-07-09T14:20:00.000-04:00I also watched the Petty interview on ESPN2, last ...I also watched the Petty interview on ESPN2, last night and was very disappointed.

Unfortunately, I was correct.<BR/><BR/>When ESPN started the NASCAR contract, they made some questionable hiring decisions on their NASCAR staff. With Nichole and Shannon, they hired two cute females who had been on TV shows that had something to do with NASCAR. Nichole took this job and ran with it. She did her homework and is a total turn-a-round from her SPEED days. Shannon, on the other hand, has not made any progress. Having her do the interview with Richard Petty was an embarrassing mistake.<BR/><BR/>I don’t understand why Brad D. didn’t get this assignment. Too logical, perhaps? :)<BR/><BR/>I agree with others that the show was disjointed and seemed to have been thrown together. Nascar Now had an opportunity for a great show about one of our legends and it was totally wasted.Lisa Hoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15816899271672467136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-42145882924335969772008-07-09T10:45:00.000-04:002008-07-09T10:45:00.000-04:00This was a very confusing show.
