Still the best sporting show in the USA.<br /><br />There's lots to complain about wish was better, but I still love NASCAR and I still love watching it. I don't see that changing until it gets as boring as IRL or F1, and we're a long way from that sort of thing.Photojoshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-74501818959712253402009-05-02T20:00:00.000-04:002009-05-02T20:00:00.000-04:00Wow! what a surprise. nas$car starting a race und...Wow! what a surprise. nas$car starting a race under yellow.

They have changed pit road reporters, infield hosts, analysts and studio hosts over the last two seasons. <br /><br />Almost all those issues had been raised, discussed and then applauded right here.<br /><br />This sports has seen TNN, WTBS, Prime Network, CBS and NBC go through the revolving TV door.<br /><br />Fans of the sport understand that TV deals and networks come and go. What we can hope for is that the efforts of the current TV networks live up to the expectations of the fans on each and every outing.<br /><br />We will be here to make sure that happens.<br /><br />JDDaly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-24608342024574007802009-05-02T18:06:00.000-04:002009-05-02T18:06:00.000-04:00Silence may be great for entertainment programming...<B>Silence may be great for entertainment programming, but not for NASCAR</B>That is your own personal opinion.

The Nationwide guys contributed good racing. <br /><br />As the headline noted, almost all the pieces are in place for ESPN. In my opinion, Punch is in the wrong role. <br /><br />Nothing was exciting, nothing was explained and with Jarrett gone often nothing was said. <br /><br />Silence may be great for entertainment programming, but not for NASCAR. From Ken Squier to Rick Allen, selling the excitement of this sport is key to TV broadcasting.<br /><br />As we have said many times and repeated in this column, Punch is an esteemed member of the NASCAR community and his roles on TV as both reporter and show host have been nothing short of outstanding.<br /><br />Why ESPN continues to put him in this uncomfortable position is unclear. <br /><br />If you would care to return and offer some original comments on this issue, please feel free to do so.<br /><br />Thanks, I hope this helped with some of the topics you mentioned.<br /><br />JDDaly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.com
