They all truly got into their roles, they pushed it to the edge but did not go over. :) Good family TV.<BR/> Does Krista want to works pit lane? or would she like to do something else? A few years back she and Ralph Sheheen co-hosted an evening show and they were very good. Krista is good enough that she would do well anywhere! <BR/> I am guessing it will be on highlights for Speed Report and Dave Despain besides Nascar in Hurry.<BR/> MarybethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-63079083725714358632008-11-01T14:56:00.000-04:002008-11-01T14:56:00.000-04:00I'm still *giggling*!

I do have to mention that early in the day when ESPiN was covering practice for the Cup guys, they did a 5 minute piece on the dreaded "draft tracker". They actually think that people care about it! You know what this means? During the race tomorrow, they will insert this piece of trash in the middle of "coverage" of the race. I'll bet a million dollars on it.<BR/>If I won the Powerball Lottery, I would donate my entire earnings to Speed, so they could cover every single NASCAR race.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-86424459619134834302008-11-01T11:33:00.000-04:002008-11-01T11:33:00.000-04:00Truck or TreatPure joy!That other network makes me...Truck or Treat<BR/>Pure joy!<BR/>That other network makes me leave the table still hungry.<BR/>SPEED makes me leave the table full and feeling as if I had double desserts!<BR/><BR/>Thanks SPEED crew!Lisa Hoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15816899271672467136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-51678015005743986552008-11-01T11:12:00.000-04:002008-11-01T11:12:00.000-04:00Great Set up show!SPEED really knows how to do it....Great Set up show!SPEED really knows how to do it.Great racing, and great post race.

When I saw Krista I was impressed with her witch laugh and the makeup but then Dorothy took the stage I was gone, it took me an hour to stop laughing. The race was fantastic, we got to see racing where ever it happened for what ever position and were still updated on the JB/RH battle wothout being slammed with it.

The Set Up was wonderful, and ...What a great night. The Set Up was wonderful, and I have grown a new admiration for Adam Alaxander.<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed the race so much that I stopped posting and was to tired after 12 hrs of NASCAR TV to do anything more than go to bed with a smile on my face. What a great race by the whole crew last night.<BR/><BR/>I am constently amazed at how much first rate info and color Ray gets each race. He does alone what all four of ESPN's reporters can't. To me, Ray is underutilized by SPEED. I gather he can be something of a loose cannon, but what he brings should out weigh that.<BR/><BR/>I am not a TV person so a lot of the technical stuff I don't even realize is good or bad, but that said, I really don't see any difference in the pictures and sound on SPEED from those of ESPN. What I do see is the differnce in how they are used. SPEED's directors and producers utilize these things in an effective and informative way. ESPN seems intent on giving me a one car commercial or a graphic to cover it up.<BR/><BR/>The whole day yesterday was fun from start to finnish. I enjoy the comraderie and humor of Larry Mac and Co. (could we get a pic of the diamond ring Mrs Mac got?) and the fun the practice and quals provide along with their own sense of drama (why was Harv pickin' on Dillner?) a script was not necessary. But I seem to have gotten one when ESPN took over Cup quals. I guess I'll have to waite for practice on Speed to find out what I need to know about the Cup cars.<BR/><BR/>I had such a great time watching trucks that I am almost concidering watching Torn Curtin on TCM Sunday afternoon instead of the race; for the simple reason that I don't feel like being stressed and frustrated over a race. Cup is boring with the JJ show, and ESPN makes that situation unwatchable. I would rather watch two great truck races and have a positive feeling at the end of the season than a headache and a hangover. How many days to DAYTONA? Its 120 to the first Vages race re Larry Mac.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-67171963557855805762008-11-01T08:23:00.000-04:002008-11-01T08:23:00.000-04:00It took a whole lot of cajones for the crew--espec...It took a whole lot of cajones for the crew--especially the guys on pit road--to do the show in costume, but it was hilarious and I"m glad they did.<BR/><BR/>The race was also very good, as usual.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-52677114276971614642008-11-01T02:12:00.000-04:002008-11-01T02:12:00.000-04:00The entire event was great.

No videos, no bumper cams, no Tech Time, no opinions from wherever AB & Co sit, no Draft Track, etc. Just 3 in the booth and 2 pit reporters. The best part?
