Heck, I'm a Jeff Gordon fan -- I've had things thrown at me at racetracks. JD doesn't let any one get out of hand with any "bashing", that's why this blog is such a great place to talk.<br /><br />As JD pointed out, I "like" DW under certain circumstances, I love some of the old timer story shows and when he's relaxed, but not when he and his brother dominate a broadcast without considering that as a fan, I tuned in to watch and hear a race called, not be a part of DW or whatever driver/mfg he is cheering for fan club, then they lose me.GinaV24https://www.blogger.com/profile/10828669350024430018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-82415546522756864942011-12-26T17:08:30.674-05:002011-12-26T17:08:30.674-05:00sbaker17,ha, I agree with you, but I'll bet th...sbaker17,ha, I agree with you, but I'll bet the last fans will leave long before the Waltrips and Wallaces, along with the networks paying their salaries get the message. If they would be professional and talk about the race, I'd be fine - the current way the broadcasts are run however annoy me. <br /><br />Happy to hear that Steve will be back with RaceHub. Sorry that they decided 6 pm is still the time, that timeframe guarantees I have to DVR it since that doesn't work for me to get home. A re-air at 11 p.m. helps from that point of view at least.GinaV24https://www.blogger.com/profile/10828669350024430018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-10627793922798962372011-12-26T16:46:48.792-05:002011-12-26T16:46:48.792-05:00Jerry,

Dustin Long creates this great weekly survey and even though he says some higher ups read it, they seem to ignore many of the fans most important requests. One question in the survey had a result of 40% said they hated the idea of both Waltrips on the broadcast. No disliked, HATED, yet they do it anyway. Go figure. Makes a fan like me who really loves racing feel hopeless. Not looking forward to the buffoon brothers bloviating on the broadcasts.

They always try to attract the cssual fan because that's where the numbers are. That's true of every sport, not just NASCAR. As a hardcore fan, I don't appreciate it but somewhere they must have some research that indicates the Waltrips draw casual fans. That does beg the question though, what kind of fan does Tim Brewer and the Craftsman Tech Center draw?fins2112https://www.blogger.com/profile/15953907070942724339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-6224647631231507012011-12-26T13:28:30.540-05:002011-12-26T13:28:30.540-05:00Ahh,those Chevy Lagunas were great looking race ca...Ahh,those Chevy Lagunas were great looking race cars.Not really looking forward to the All Waltrip Channel.<br /><br />TerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-2434127787997121912011-12-26T13:23:06.701-05:002011-12-26T13:23:06.701-05:00Will the last Waltrip out, please turn out the lig...Will the last Waltrip out, please turn out the lights?sbaker17https://www.blogger.com/profile/10234130094477084972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-25013952530365657092011-12-26T13:16:00.615-05:002011-12-26T13:16:00.615-05:00I sense we might have a theme working here for FOX...I sense we might have a theme working here for FOX and SPEED.Daly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-70432899008620799042011-12-26T13:02:53.572-05:002011-12-26T13:02:53.572-05:00"sets the tone" - 3 days of DW?
