Instead of wasting out time with re hashed video (even if it is interesting it does not fit in this show) it would at least keep him on the show, so to speak, even if by proxy via video.<BR/><BR/>I watched the repeat and caught the comments about the 7 car driving with passion..did not hear that the first time.<BR/><BR/>I agree the backwards of the show IS THE MAIN IRRITANT. AND the PREVIEW IS WAY TOO LONG. We have back in the day on SPEED to see old race clips. Why did we see so much about that? I love photography and appreciated the clip but it was used during DAYTONA weeks. Leave out so much canned video and leave more room for talking.<BR/><BR/>It's the spirit that came out last night that reminded us of INC but a third panelist is SORELY missing..should've had Chad on with Biff and Mikey.<BR/><BR/>Get rid of the Filler. Lou, if only they would listen to the fans (NASCAR and SPEED) but I agree with the sponsors comment for the show in the first 30 minutes, too.Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789033556426951026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-58989846562692859802008-07-01T13:23:00.000-04:002008-07-01T13:23:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Daly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-83555291407050472952008-07-01T13:19:00.000-04:002008-07-01T13:19:00.000-04:00Thank you JDThank you JDLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11036612315003068127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-27466764060126683072008-07-01T13:17:00.000-04:002008-07-01T13:17:00.000-04:00The rules for posting are located on the right sid...The rules for posting are located on the right side of the main page.

SPEED take notice. We like your show. As a viewer from speedvision days to the current SPEED days. I am a long time fan who is or maybe one of many who do not watch the sixty minutes of your show on a regular basis. And currently only watch the last half hour unless reader comments sway me otherwise. It does amaze me how the companies who put up commericals in the first half hour put up with this. I think this is a NASCAR TV related issue. But if you want fans who have been with the sport for years and hardcore at that to continue to tune in on Monday evening, then I would hope you will consider changing the current format you have. As I posted earlier, I enjoyed TWIN. Just need to tweak it a little more. Mr. Daly, just curious. Do the ratings say otherwise? If you can find out, ok. If not I understand.

I ...I had a real problem with the show last night. I like Mikey, but he was getting on my nerves. Sometimes it is just a little too much. And what is it with the sexual/dirty little inuendos. So childish. The "packaged" pieces look like someone just went searching for anything with reference to the next race. No rhyme or reason. I actually just FF'd through first part. The NH race was so crazy and with 88/26 and 18/42 issues as well as all the strategies that determined the results I was ready to go to hear the views of those that were there. But no, lets talk about a race I'm not even thinking about. Also, agree with comments about NW and Truck races. Lets hear about races, not set pieces. It's "This Week in Nascar" not "The Past Year/Years and other Stuff in Nascar"!! What was once a favorite is just an after thought now. Don't care if I watch or not. NN is way more informative and entertaining.<BR/><BR/>DianeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-55458251172803951262008-07-01T12:27:00.000-04:002008-07-01T12:27:00.000-04:00My very first Nascar race was Daytona 2001 when Mi...My very first Nascar race was Daytona 2001 when Mikey won. He became my favorite driver, even on that tragic day. I just LOVE to watch Mikey on SpeedTV. I hope MWR becomes very successful financially. I also hope SpeedTV keeps Mikey in front of the camera for a very long time. If they keep this format on this show, and move the upcoming race preview to the end of the show, they will have a solid hit. I liked the interplay between Schrader and Mikey, but Chad and Biffle add to the show, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
