Not to put too fine a point on it, I like all racing on four wheels that involves at least one corner, but I don't mind this break in the action. <br /><br />Sure, it would be nice to have a place where we could tune once a week to find out the changes and developments in racing during the off season. That said, I'm not sure that there's enough NASCAR news to fill a half hour unless you want to cover Mikey's sledding adventures. Perhaps a broader show like the Speed Report is enough. <br /><br />I don't care about crew chief swaps and sponsor changes enough to tune in each week. Not a lot going on this NASCAR off season. Formula 1... that's another bowl of borscht. But that's this year. Next year it might be different. <br /><br />I'll be back to watch NASCAR in February through the TNT coverage. After that... who knows.Tripphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15961339747449141551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-32814488744499926602009-12-23T18:26:08.687-05:002009-12-23T18:26:08.687-05:00I see that Ricky Craven has posted his last column...I see that Ricky Craven has posted his last column on Yahoo Sports.

This is the time to keep fans involved, get to the deeper stories, etc. Everyone needs a vacation, but does every motorsports reporter/announcer/color commentator really want a 2 month vacation? I doubt it. And I know I, as a NASCAR fan, do not want 2 months with no TV coverage of the sport I find fascinating.Maryleenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-25173258255146597852009-12-23T11:58:18.137-05:002009-12-23T11:58:18.137-05:00The racing and coverage during the season is borin...The racing and coverage during the season is boring enough.
