It was great.<br /><br />I have an article up on the CWTS possibly being the best race of the weekend. We are live blogging the race on Friday night.<br /><br />What you are confusing was the Sprint Cup issues and the drug suspension of Jeremy Mayfield. The All-Star race and the suspension were far and away the big stories of the week.<br /><br />SPEED did a great job of promoting the CWTS race this week in promos, not quite sure what else you would have liked to see from me.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment,<br /><br />JDDaly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-7945659628940482142009-05-15T10:30:00.000-04:002009-05-15T10:30:00.000-04:00Late to the race again.

Then I read this:<br /><br /><B>John Daly wrote:<br /><br />It was supposed to be a slow week for NASCAR news. It is the All-Star weekend. One non-points race on SPEED, the pit crew championship and a week at home for the crews.</B>Considering your post today (5/15)is about the truck series and how SPEED didn't promote it and still does not promote the series, I find this a little odd. Yes, the column was about Shannon Spake's job on ESPN's NN, but even you overlooked the truck race this week. For all the discussion about the lack of coverage for both the NW series and truck series, you ommitted that the trucks had a race this week and should be included on the NASCAR calendar.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01267619471659546233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-71408691725813803082009-05-13T22:52:00.000-04:002009-05-13T22:52:00.000-04:00anon 8:17...'profit' means what they make *after* ...anon 8:17...'profit' means what they make *after* taking out what they spend on it.

Ken Schrader would be really good, get Ricky Craven from ESPN and drop some of the weak people on FOX and SPEED would help a lot . I think people are tiring of the all Waltrip network as they never improve their skills and the act is getting brutally old.There is plenty of really good talent available. Who is Mark Fein? Remember Jeff Gordon? actually he is someone who has become really good, much better than Chris Meyers could ever hope to be.Change at FOX/ SPEED has to happen , people are tired of the same thing over and over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-35306558275045414472009-05-13T16:11:00.000-04:002009-05-13T16:11:00.000-04:00Frankly, I'm glad Carl has a sponsor, but I never ...Frankly, I'm glad Carl has a sponsor, but I never buy name brands when you can get generics so much cheaper. The pharm industry is one of the highest 'profit' industries out there, and we pay for it, particularly with high prescription prices.

Like you said Claritin D contains different ingredients than regular Claritin so comparing Carl and the Mayfield drama is a no go. Not to mention there is still no proof that it was Claritin D.

Claritin D contains Loratadine PLUS Pseudoephedrine--that is the decongestant (most famous brand name was Sudafed) that meth-makers were using in their meth labs to make other drugs. Most manufacturers took it out of their OTC products because of that usage. There is nothing wrong with using it as a decongestant, so you can still get it from the pharmacy *without* a prescription. They just don't put it on the shelf anymore so people can't buy/steal it for other purposes (most states, maybe all now, limit what you can buy at one time.) Carl can take all the Claritin he wants--for that matter, you could probably take Claritin D if you cleared it with NASCAR first. There is some other substance involved.glenc1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-75927245596999729252009-05-13T13:37:00.000-04:002009-05-13T13:37:00.000-04:00To the previous comment:

It is all speculation and I bet the folks who make that product and sponsor the #99 car are cringing everytime they see something like this on teh internets. <br /><br />As for Shannon, I believe she is much more suited for the host/reporter role rather than being on pit road. I think ESPN/ABC would improve their telecast a lot by just shuffling 3 people around.

I was so glad that when she asked Andy if he was surprised about Jeremy, Andy first wanted to express his solid support for NASCAR and the drug policy. He then answered more fully her question. <br /><br />The reason I'm glad is because some of the blog sites on Jayski have been overwhelmingly anti-NASCAR on this suspension. The fact that Andy so boldly and emphatically stated his support to the drug policy, goes along with all the drivers so far that have supported NASCAR over Jeremy.<br /><br />I think many of the drivers are well informed and VERY anti-dope. Of all the football, baseball, cycling, and Olympic athelets that hve been caught on doping test, NOT ONE HAS WON a reversal. <br /><br />Testing is so good now, that fighting a drug test is like fighting fingerprints or DNA. Over the last few years, the labs like Aegis win 100% of the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
