It was one of the most poorly called races I've ever watched/heard. Whomever was partnered with Randy Lajoie sounded like he had the three-martini dinner a few times. Combining a syllable from two words to make up an nonexistent word, mismatching drivers and car manufacturers.

If 1 team uses all 10 sets NASCAR will stop the race and ALL teams will have to switch over to Pocono tires. Mr. Zucker of Goodyear doubts it will be needed but he even admitted he doesn't know., since the track is not holding the rubber like last year. He also mentioned that this is the 1st race at Indy w/ COT so no one knows why the rubber isn't filling in the racing grooves.

The thrill of the race is the live aspect. The highlights and features that you see on Monday's TWIN and NASCAR Now are usually footage not seen and audio not heard during the live telecast.

Nascar, track owner or broadcaster? <BR/><BR/>I have noticed over the past year or two they always seem to have a camera about 10 feet ahead of where cars slide up into the walls coming out of the turns. I think with proper camera placement and cutting from one to another they could make even the boringest follow the leader race interesting, but it always seems that they want to use the camera up on a crane to just keep following the same driver.<BR/><BR/>And, was the digger cam a fox camera or is that just a camera that who ever is in charge of camera placement has always had?<BR/><BR/>Also on camera placement, is DirecTv bringing their own cameras to the track for the hotpass drivers or are they cameras that are being controlled by the broadcaster?<BR/><BR/>As you can see, I am interested in who owns the cameras at the track and controls their placement.<BR/><BR/>BillWebzUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06158542903007550535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-18089328917989019712008-07-27T12:01:00.000-04:002008-07-27T12:01:00.000-04:00Re: Rusty's Newman comments and the Truex "story"-...Re: Rusty's Newman comments and the Truex "story"--in today's media world, you never admit it if you made a mistake, you just keep going and hope people will forget it.<BR/><BR/>Sadly, they usually do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-38680338234688693832008-07-27T11:54:00.000-04:002008-07-27T11:54:00.000-04:00July 27, 2008 10:00 AMBlogger Daly Planet Editor s...July 27, 2008 10:00 AM<BR/>Blogger Daly Planet Editor said...<BR/><BR/> Rusty Wallace on NASCAR Now: "Indy is the biggest race of the year in my mind."<BR/><BR/> JD<BR/>!<BR/>~~~<BR/>Rusty should have added in his "alleged mind"...:)<BR/><BR/>NRF<BR/><BR/>I missed the backwards look at the race comment...I wanted to catch the opening of RD JUST to miss it and see the talk about tire concern and Mr. Hunter saying something about offering Pocono tires...so something must have been said to get NASCAR's attention about the tires thank goodness.<BR/><BR/>I am with Red..if anybody wants to make comments about the pre race shows, please comment here in DETAIL.
