Don't wait until the week of the awards to announce the guests or host (Jerry Punch, David Spade). It was very clear that last year's show was thrown together at the last minute, as was Spade's tired act. Book someone who knows something about the sport. Ditch the music unless it relates to the event (like an Olympic theme does) or champion.<BR/><BR/>Get writers for the show to make it more like a roast or the ESPYS. Have at least three categories voted on by fans and announced on the show.<BR/><BR/>Bring back the SPEED red carpet and let Wendy do the interviews (no Joan/Melissa Rivers).<BR/><BR/>The coverage on the morning shows (GMA, Today,)of the top 10 and champion has dwindled to almost nothing, when a couple of years ago it was quite good. If they're not responding, try some other media - or plan ahead, NASCAR. If the morning shows are going to ignore you for Helio and Dancing with the Stars, go to another outlet or book a day when there's not a big celebrity thing going on. <BR/><BR/>In other words, check long range what's going on around you in the media and don't assume you'll be the biggest show in town. NASCAR should have known that Dancing With the Stars winner would be the story on every TV show that day, not Jimmie Johnson, and that wouldn't have mattered if he was in NYC, Charlotte, or Vegas. (Since Helio won, he was the big story on all the sports outlets, too but NASCAR couldn't have predicted that.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-89966575106985451832008-03-02T22:27:00.000-05:002008-03-02T22:27:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-62822597901297719462008-03-02T17:18:00.000-05:002008-03-02T17:18:00.000-05:00Obviously I have some bias.I do seriously believe ...Obviously I have some bias.<BR/>I do seriously believe there is much to be gained by having the Cup banquet in NYC for the convenience of major executives of sponsors. <BR/>Also, as I recall Bill France, Jr. made the decision to go to NYC and I can imagine some reluctance by the France family to change something he put in place.<BR/>At the same time I can envision Charlotte's being an appropriate location if the 3 series banquets were to be held in conjunction with annual Hall of Fame inductions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-59802107008724926332008-03-02T16:34:00.000-05:002008-03-02T16:34:00.000-05:00seems to me there are a coupla issues here: the lo...seems to me there are a coupla issues here: the location of the awards banquets as well as the content/quality the banquet broadcasts. my initial response to the location discussion is to take the historic route and opt for charlotte area -- once the hall of fame complex is complete. after all, rock and roll goes to cleveland every year, regardless of where music executives are located. if a sport has created a hall of fame somewhere, THAT'S where the awards banquet should be. media coverage should follow the choice, not make the choice.<BR/><BR/>that being said: lots of good arguments being made for other locations. one that resonates is to turn the awards banquet week into a fan experience and have drivers/owners available for a whole lotta "stuff" that would give fans a chance to meet 'n greet. and if that becomes part of the equation, then the location has to have enough space to hold exhibits (i.e. cars, vendors, autograph areas, etc.) as well as enough hotel space! nyc is probably THE most expensive venue that anyone could ever have chosen and i seriously doubt the media coverage was strong enough to justify the expense.<BR/><BR/>my preference is to go for the location that reflects the history of the sport and move the awards banquets -- all three of them -- to charlotte once the hall of fame is complete. if fans want to see it, they'll travel, just as fans travel to cooperstown and canton and cleveland. <BR/><BR/>content of the show certainly needs to be a separate topic!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-3990185831624097722008-03-02T08:31:00.000-05:002008-03-02T08:31:00.000-05:00Anon 11:04PM,Isn't that the same guy who said we w...Anon 11:04PM,<BR/><BR/>Isn't that the same guy who said we would not be racing the COT full-time in 2008? <BR/><BR/>NASCAR reverses course when they can see what is in it for them.

In addition, other related activities could be included that would create a "destination" environment for fans and sponsors. Las Vegas seemed like a logical location for many reasons. However, the larger issue is the event itself. The disjointed current system is rather pathetic.<BR/><BR/>In retrospect, the Charlotte area would also be a suitable location, especially when one considers the limited budgets of some of the teams in the non-Cup series. The projected infrastructure improvements that will accompany the HOF complex may well be enough to accommodate a week in the spotlight. <BR/><BR/>While Charlotte lacks the elephants and the dancing girls that abound in Las Vegas, it does not lack in NASCAR enthusiasm. If NASCAR is truly to show a newfound respect for its roots, it would not hurt for the nation's NASCAR fans to "put a little South in their mouths".<BR/><BR/>fbu1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-26261587609966114252008-03-01T23:04:00.000-05:002008-03-01T23:04:00.000-05:00NASCAR already responded to Bruton Smith's annual ...NASCAR already responded to Bruton Smith's annual request yesterday. They said they aren't moving the Cup banquet this year.<BR/><BR/>NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston (in two or three publications) said the banquet will remain in NYC for the forseeable future. <BR/><BR/>Last year when Bruton made his yearly request in the media, Brian France or someone else up high said since there was interest from other cities they'd listen. They ultimately made the decision to keep it in NYC.<BR/><BR/>This year, NASCAR shot down Bruton's idea immediately - the same day. So a no-go for Vegas this year. <BR/><BR/>It's not moving. They may try Charlotte for the Cup banquet one year after the Hall opens to see how how it goes - that's more likely than LV. So now the focus should be on making the program from New York City watchable because it's really not, or removing the program from TV altogether.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-61638849319908091702008-03-01T21:43:00.000-05:002008-03-01T21:43:00.000-05:00Personally I think that any award show is boring s...Personally I think that any award show is boring so I don't watch them and think they should just keep them like they have been in previous years.

North Carolina has done a great deal to help and support NASCAR, has lost 4 Cup races to other parts of the country, and Las Vegas is trying to take one of the biggest events from N.C. - the furniture markets. Moving the banquets to Vegas would only help Vegas in its attempt to have the furniture markets there.<BR/><BR/>Moreover, most of the major media outlets are still in the NYC area - ESPN, ABC, FOX, etc. Also, the headquarters of many major NASCAR or team sponsors are still in the NYC area so having the Cup banquet in NYC makes it easier for NASCAR and team officials to socialize with sponsor upper management.<BR/><BR/>I believe Jimmie Johnson also said that most people in NYC are more interested in going about their business than gawking at celebrities - in part because seeing celebrities on the street is more common in NYC. I doubt that Robert DeNiro lives in NYC because New Yorkers are not interested in movies.<BR/><BR/>Finally it continues to amaze me that B. Smith is more than willing to accept $80,000,000 of tax support from North Carolina and at the same time continue to try to help an area trying to hurt the area that made him wealthy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-6183807066991251052008-03-01T20:51:00.000-05:002008-03-01T20:51:00.000-05:00I live in New York and Championship Week is the on...I live in New York and Championship Week is the only time of the year when I can see the driver's and the cars in person.

People complain when NASCAR changes a tradition so why change another? The banquet has been here in NY for so long. <BR/><BR/>I just wanted to give some perspective from a fan in New York.
