I watch RaceDay every single weekend and the only reason why I'll watch TNT is for Elliott Sadler. As for the schedule on Speeds website, I use that every weekend so I can tape the shows while I'm at work. I can't always depend on getting it from Nascar Scene's paper. I say if it's not broke, don't fix it! Keep the shows AS IS!! It's too bad Speed/Fox can't do the whole races from Feb to Nov!!!
