If they were smart, they would have gone to Indy last year and made the interviews and such. Of course, maybe they did and were just to embarassed after last year's debacle.<br /><br />All in all, something someone who doesn't get NASCAR should watch. Maybe it'll persuade them to go to a race, or at least think of some of the things those interviewed said when watching a race on TV.Jack from PAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-39081463531267931432009-07-24T12:12:38.546-04:002009-07-24T12:12:38.546-04:00The title alone sealed my decision NOT to watch. ...The title alone sealed my decision NOT to watch.

If only some other "historic" tracks could be revived the same way.<br /><br />I had a bit part in Feel Your Heart Race, from Daytona, and I'm happy with how it turned out. Brad Keselowski, especially, presented himself in a way that connected with fans.

Did find it ironic that BSPN doesn't broadcast a race from Daytona yet most of the racing footage was from that track. Enjoyed listening to the drivers describe their thoughts and actions at the moment of impact in an accident. Brad Keselowski impressed me as a well-spoken young driver especially when he described keeping the rush of adrenaline in check so that it didn't interfere from using his brain to make decisions behind the wheel.<br /><br />As a fan who goes to several races a year, I could totally relate to fan comments on being at the track versus being on the sofa back home.<br /><br />It's programming like this that a fan like me is starving to see.NorCalFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373612307351787221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-41555283222076627382009-07-24T01:32:12.574-04:002009-07-24T01:32:12.574-04:00Richard in NC, you have a good point.
