Personally, I noticed that Kurt's wife wasn't there, but a lot of them don't show up each week. She seemed to be there all of the time.<br /><br />Love the qualifying (only got to see Cup)and do try to tune out the booth. Just like to see how they do and where they line up, especially on plate tracks.

It doesn't really matter if you 'care' or not....but they are public figures in a sport that prides itself on its clean image. Only difference with other sports is that unless you're in a 'box', it'd be harder to tell who you're with, whereas WAGS are usually with the teams in racing. I thought Kurt was being a little ridiculous...I'm tired of hearing athletes talk about the press trying to 'tear them down' (Kurt is not the only one.) Usually they've created some situation themselves and then get upset that someone asks them or reports about it. That's part of the job. Personally I think racing reporters probably let more things slide than other sports.<br /><br />Watching qualifying...love Jeff Burton's radio dial.glenc1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-44197697504060730902011-07-01T17:23:28.343-04:002011-07-01T17:23:28.343-04:00I've questioned the relevance of qualifying at...I've questioned the relevance of qualifying at plate tracks for years.

During the NNS qualifying as one of the drivers was completing their laps, he said the driver "was looking for the Tri-Oval". Looking for the Tri-Oval?? Then when Logano went out without a functioning clutch, Reid commented how slow his first lap was (37 th). Obviously, Reid never connected the fact that the crew pushed Joey off where he couldn't shift through the gears and where it would take a while to get up to speed. True, these are just nits, but they're indicative of how shallow he is when it comes to what's happening out on the track.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-7442006586168135712011-07-01T16:04:35.619-04:002011-07-01T16:04:35.619-04:00During qualifying Marty Reid sure is a happy guy. ...During qualifying Marty Reid sure is a happy guy.

"where is Eva?" Jenna tweeted a link to her bio. So yes there are fans who *do* want to know and others who don't. Just depends on where you stand. <br /><br />Agree Roland that's why I don't get the "backlash" folks are talking about our the smart remarks about it. Once he put her out in public it was fair game to talk about. Nothing Gluck wrote about was "gossip" it was the straight facts. Kurt & Eva are no longer together, they're going through the process, he is now with someone else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-56412810524613963072011-07-01T14:02:45.240-04:002011-07-01T14:02:45.240-04:00Is anyone having sound trouble on the HD feed of E...Is anyone having sound trouble on the HD feed of ESPN's qual?

She answered yes and that Kurt and Patricia have been seen being affectionate in the garage area; Kurt's marital situation has not been a secret within Nascar. She also said that since Patricia was at the track her presence with Kurt would become very obvious today (rep must have been referring to likelihood of her being shown on camera during National Anthem unless she was clairvoyant on Kurt winning the race). Gluck said he wasn't sure how to treat the information, i.e., was the impending divorce affecting his on-track performance? Had interesting chat comparing situation with Jeff Gordon's very public divorce. In the end, Gluck's story quieted his twitter followers.NorCalFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373612307351787221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-28004845064999946492011-07-01T13:03:50.368-04:002011-07-01T13:03:50.368-04:00Would someone tell Dale Jarrett the term is "...Would someone tell Dale Jarrett the term is "point in time" not "point and time".

I assume his agenda & NASCAR is to tell us the fan that the tandem hookup,dancin partner,2 car team racing is the way it is. Like it or not. NASCAR solution to the "big one" & the expensive dollar and/or point carnage for the owner & drivers. A trade off of exciting pins and needles big pack for strategy not so exciting-wait till the end-multicar photo finish.

There definitely is a difference between stating the obvious ie. new gal in VL and no wedding ring versus an opinion on someone's friend. <br />But enough of that.<br /><br />Some one tell me why I should turn in and watch qualifying at all on restrictor plate tracks. It doesn't matter and is a waste of time. The cars rarely run by themselves on plate tracks and many good cars will be racing in the back trying to avoid problems. Just a thought but maybe next year Speed could have the Barrett Jackson auction preempt the plate qualifying instead of last weeks live road course qualifying.suenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-24832728905375547922011-07-01T10:28:17.859-04:002011-07-01T10:28:17.859-04:00I dont think Gluck did anything wrong.

At that point the cat is out of the bag and its fair game. <br /><br />As far as today goes, im not really excited about any of the coverage. Yesterday ESPN spent most of the first 10 minutes of NNS practice in commercial or in replay for the stuff they missed. Pretty sure today it will be a commercial after every car. Marty struggled today and I dont expect miracles. Im kinda glad hes back, now I can listen to MRN and not feel bad about it. <br /><br />On an unrelated note. Last night Bristol did another one of their internet shows where they talk about the upcoming race weekend and give away free stuff. This is the kind of online content all tracks should be doing.

Nice day in NJ - don't know that I will stay inside once I get off of work to listen to Adam or Marty, esp when qualifying won't mean much for the actual races. <br /><br />Larry has created a serious credibility problem for himself - at least from my perspective - how can I trust anything he says if he always puts a positive spin on it? I'd much prefer that all of them and especially the media try to be impartial and present the information without editorializing or if it is just their opinion, then say so.<br /><br />Obviously people like some people better than others, but if an online journalist can get fired for "cheering in the press box", why is it any different for the commentators?<br /><br />Guess that's why my mute button gets such a workout -GinaV24https://www.blogger.com/profile/10828669350024430018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-85094335373332513302011-07-01T10:06:01.233-04:002011-07-01T10:06:01.233-04:00As a sports fan, I understand that interest in hig...As a sports fan, I understand that interest in high-profile athletes goes beyond professional and into personal.<br /><br />As a NASCAR fan, I have no interest in Kurt Busch's social life.
