I hadn't seen it when it previously aired, and I found Ms. Colon very interesting. Even though the 48 is my favorite team, I didn't mind not seeing yet another profile of JJ. Having said that, this needed to be shown on Raceday or somewhere else more appropriate rather than taking up precious panel time. <BR/><BR/>I also want to say that, although Biffle nights are less fun than Knaus nights, Biffle has really switched on since the Chase began. He has so much more energy and is really holding his own with Mikey. I'm enjoying him a lot!Anne Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07728185352818161904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-26102443103783858712008-10-15T22:08:00.000-04:002008-10-15T22:08:00.000-04:00They need a third panelist back.

It would give them a little exposure etc. If not that, bring back Schrader, he was very insightful. True he may not be driving as much anymore, but he and Mikey played well off of each other. I agree about the "chase profile" or whatever its called. I work when it is on, so it is on DVR. I skip past that segment. Like someone else posted earlier, we are force fed the chasers all week, give us a break, especially since they are canned features that haveplayed on other shows. Go OLD SKOOL.... Sprint recap, N-Wide recap, Truck recap and then a looking ahead segment for the next race. Been dedicated to this show for years, and it is not as good as the Allen Bestwick days. Back then it had that cobbled together shot in a garage feel. Just racers talking about racing. Trach truck dumping trash, Mikey crawling in on the floor because he was late and they were taping, that was when the show was its best. They are trying to put too much polish on it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-9391376672576861472008-10-15T10:48:00.000-04:002008-10-15T10:48:00.000-04:00Okay, I waited, stewing all the while, to say some...Okay, I waited, stewing all the while, to say something about the re-run of the mini profile of Ms. Colon. WTH were they thinking, inserting it in TWIN? Just so Mikey would say he has two female engineers on staff? And Why for the Love of Katie, don't they use "Women" instead of "female" all the time? It's men, not males!<BR/><BR/>No Nationwide race review. No more truck race review. ???!!! But a rehash of an old piece that's already aired????<BR/><BR/>Come on guys, you can do better than this. And please, please, give Humpy his own show where he talks with prior and current racers.

He takes the place of the Despain clips and as much as I like DD, his clips seemed forced on the boys as well.<BR/><BR/>I know I am repeating myself but the entire APPEAL of the show is a QUIET STUDIO (no druken screaming fans, waving signs, talking on cell phones on screen, distracting the camera view or the noise factor where you can't hear the guys ala Trackside or Race Day.. will not watch when it's too noisy)<BR/><BR/>Just have Steve read the email in an edited way as somebody else mentioned. some folks asking questions on webcams do NOT know how to get to the point. <BR/><BR/>It would be totally COOL if they could DUMP all video except the key moments of the racing...but I guess the SPEED SUITS want to be more like ESPU.

If somebody feels COMPELLED to add email on webcams, do it on RACEDAY..they have gunked the heck out of that show but it's two hours. We barely get what 20 minutes of our TWIN guys on our tv.

I continue to fast-forward through virtually every taped segment.<BR/><BR/>Otherwise the show was good. Sometimes even though I like Biffle in general, I don't like him as much on this show as Chad, but I thought he did well last night.

It's where I'm most likely to get into trouble, too. <BR/><BR/>The taped segments reduce those magic moments by far too much, which is why I'm steadfast in my opposition.<BR/><BR/>And let's hear it for Steve Byrnes, who had a tough act to follow taking over the show from the always professional Dave Despain and Allen Bestwick.

Since it's taped in Charlotte, I can't see why they couldn't get somebody. They could have a different one each week, whoever would be available. Even someone from NW or trucks. Someone with TV presense. <BR/><BR/>TWIN needs to realize that we have already been forced fed the Chase crap all weekend and we don't need to see more. Replace the Chase driver segment with NW & CTS coverage. Humpy's segments are good, but he needs his own show. I liked the one he did. <BR/><BR/>Did Mikey say something about a yard/garage sale? Maybe that's why the golf shoes. Those didn't sell.<BR/><BR/>I do want to mention one thing that bothers me. Why do they refer to it as Monday morning quarterbacking? All the race talking heads say that. (Steve said it tonight). Why not use the term Monday morning crew chiefing?
