Trackside is done, SPEED needs to retire it and if they really need to, create an all new series with new people or a combination of new and existing people.<br /><br />2. I'm tired of 3 hours pre-shows including 2 hours of Raceday and "stick with the Biff" sayings, Now I just tune in to watch the race without a pre-show, much better.<br /><br />3. I do watch practice if I'm home. That's worth watching.<br /><br />4. NASCAR Qualifying is boring okay, that's it.<br /><br />5. I don't really care about NASCAR Performance, sorry.<br /><br />6. RaceHub during the week is ok depending upon the day of the week. But I do like watching Jimmy Spencer's take 2 times a week at 5 minutes each. They could go 10 minutes each. And Danielle Trotta does a good job for the most part.<br /><br />7.

What a perfect bunch we fans have become. The more access we get the more we piss and moan. Helpful critique I can accept and I am sure Speed welcomes it. Personal attacks and the same old same old its not the way it used to be I bet they ignore. I remember when we were lucky if we saw 5 minutes on Wild World of Sports.

I am fine with Mike & Larry talking practice and the reporters interviewing people. I could do without either Waltrip. Darrell tends to go off to way back land WAY too often....and I've realized recently that I don't trust what he says anymore; he's lost too much credibility. Too many times he gets contradicted later; so now I just don't even believe what he says most of the time. Larry seems to keep up with what's going on in the garage. His worst thing (other than grammar) is repeating his favorite stories, but I can live with that because I know most of the time what he says is useful.<br /><br />So poor Regan & Ty get made fools of tonight, lucky them, I won't be watching. Please free Krista & Kyle from this nonsense.<br /><br />I still watch Performance. There was nothing 'wrong' with it before, but adding Danielle hasn't really hurt it that much; all she does is introduce the conversations and go to break; it's not like she's pretending to know things. I miss Bootie's wry humor a lot though.<br /><br />I would rather watch the Weather channel than Raceday. I only turn over to see interviews, unless it's another topic being beat to death (ie, the 48 appeal.)glenc1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-70267478190400123382012-03-30T10:09:40.971-04:002012-03-30T10:09:40.971-04:00@kbhaskins and @Sophia

Following are a list of the shows I used to watch religiously, but watch no more---Nascar Now,N-performance, Race Day, Victory Lane,Trackside and Wind Tunnel. I RECORD Hub while I watch the evening news and can blow through that in a few minutes. Practice and qualifying will be on but be on Mute until I see something interesting. On Sundays, I start watching when they do opening ceremonies. When the race starts, I watch and hit the Mute as soon as the booth starts insulting me. Last week, it took 4 minutes. A true indication of how bad the races have been is that I haven't watched the Wednesday repeat of the race on Speed in a long time. What a mess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
