Seems like every 5-7 minutes in the latter parts of these shows, they go to a break. The Cup/Busch race coverage (practice, qualifying) seems to have normal commercial breaks, it's just the original Speed shows that have this problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-83741812883435745532007-11-10T09:35:00.000-05:002007-11-10T09:35:00.000-05:00I really enjoy the Truck races.

Oh I know! What a concept! Showing cars actually PRACTICING and not silly music videos! <BR/><BR/>@anonymous 3:10--JR is is great! I really like him :)!<BR/><BR/>@busch series fan!--LOL! I was thinking the same thing last week about the Dallas being west comment! I'm like uhm, not quite. We're roughly 2-3 hours from Arkansas/Louisiana which on MY map are EAST. However, if you went WEST from Dallas depending on your destination you're still 6-10 hours from the WEST border! <BR/><BR/>@JD--re:GOGH--I'm trying to remember, but it seems that it did have more of a focus on the GOGHers when it first started. They'd often wrap up a story from NA$CAR Live if they were still in the middle of it, but it *seems* from my "I'm getting old" memory that they spoke more about the GOGHers. <BR/><BR/>@anonymous 8:10--I'm not sure, it really doesn't make sense to me. The Pick 'em Ups ran over about 10 minutes so if you didn't also have SOTF set to record or ran Trackside longer then you'd miss the last 10 minutes. <BR/><BR/>@anonymous 8:15--thanks for that! I thought I remembered it being *truly* about the GOGHers but your ESPN theory really makes sense!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-46995570751799369032007-11-09T22:07:00.000-05:002007-11-09T22:07:00.000-05:00What a hard hit into the concrete wall.

Unless I missed something, they did not conduct a single interview with a driver or crew member until about 1:40 Central time (coverage was from 12:30 - 2 Central). <BR/><BR/>Before that it was John Roberts, Randy Pemberton and Hermie Sadler on the stage and they discussed a number of issues. Ray Dunlap and Adam Alexander were in the garage and gave regular updates from the garage with brief shots from the track and the stalls but they talked to no one. It was strange. Maybe it's very intense today and no one had time to talk during practice. (SPEED couldn't have been banned from talking to people during practice, could they?)<BR/><BR/>Around 1:40 -the last 20 minutes of practice - Jacque Villenueve answered one question (he was in his car) and about five minutes ago Clint Bowyer answered one question. Ray Dunlap just now was about to interview Tommy Baldwin but the microphone wasn't working so they went to commercial. <BR/><BR/>John Roberts apologized for the microphone failure when they came back (which was great - I personally didn't think it was a big deal at all) and Adam Alexander came over with his working microphone to interview Tommy Baldwin. <BR/><BR/>John Roberts apologized for the microphone failure again and talked about how reliable the company who works on them is and how he couldn't remember the last time they had a mike failure. I don't usually post in these Friday live threads - often not home in time -but y'all must make these network people nervous. JR did a great job today, as usual.<BR/><BR/>On the GOGH part they did try to concentrate only on those cars, although they did update us when Clint Bowyer got into the back of Tony Stewart (minor damage).<BR/><BR/>Ray Evernham and Denny Hamlin are the Trackside Guests tonight after the truck race (10:30 Eastern/9:30 Central).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-56350481948032501612007-11-09T13:09:00.000-05:002007-11-09T13:09:00.000-05:00I am looking forward to spending all the time with...I am looking forward to spending all the time with SPEED.
