I just wish ESPN would give the coverage to SPEED and be done with it.<BR/><BR/>It is going to be a long weekend. Punch has already gone through half his notebook of stats and has fumbled a few times.<BR/><BR/>Boris Said: I am not a fan. Some teams and drivers respect him as a road course teacher. After the many, many years of his hanging around the garage, I can’t remember Boris ever being offered a full time ride in any NASCAR series. I don’t like to see him make a race because he usually takes out a series regular and nothing is ever his fault. I think his being offered rides has a lot to do with him promising to get the sponsor TV time on ESPN, since he is an employee.Lisa Hoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15816899271672467136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-65281548997811953782008-08-08T16:11:00.000-04:002008-08-08T16:11:00.000-04:00Off topic, but right now TNT is using the top scro...Off topic, but right now TNT is using the top scrolling bar from its summer trip into Nascar for golf!<BR/><BR/>It seems odd because it moves much faster than the pace of the sport.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-29598682036386390112008-08-08T16:03:00.000-04:002008-08-08T16:03:00.000-04:00Have to say that Lowe's is brilliant.They seldom s...Have to say that Lowe's is brilliant.<BR/><BR/>They seldom sponsor the #48 Nationwide car and it seldom runs, but they roll it off the truck this weekend, I would guess because the NW race is airing "over-the-air" on ABC.<BR/><BR/>Surprised Gibbs doesn't have the fully array of machines out there this weekend for just that reason.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-28560371824471044532008-08-08T15:55:00.000-04:002008-08-08T15:55:00.000-04:00This Nationwide practice sessions is horrendous.

If you are a team that only races a few races, sure bring in a ringer, but if you are there every week, it is a slap in the face to the driver to take him out of his car and put in this ringer, who odds are isn't going to do any better than your regular driver. Unless you are doing it for the exposure only, then in that case let the dollar rule. Using this logic, every struggling team should try to line up Derrick Cope to run for them at Daytona each year since he won a race there once.<BR/><BR/>BillWebzUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06158542903007550535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-88666564103902012312008-08-08T14:11:00.000-04:002008-08-08T14:11:00.000-04:00I just read a report.
