So it's no surprise to me that he's disappointing on TV as well.<BR/><BR/>Kuseliass needs to go to cover the World Tiddly Wink With Manhole Covers Championship. If he has any knowledge of racing, much less NASCAR, he sure doesn't show it. Put somebody like Eli Gold or Buddy Baker in his place. They both know racing and could both do a much better job. Heck, there's 2 guys on a small station in Boone NC that do a 5 minute race pick show that could do a better job than Kuseliass. <BR/><BR/>Until or unless ESPN decides to become professional with their race coverage and in-studio shows, they'll continue to be a laughing stock.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-8355555206288191972007-06-25T12:25:00.000-04:002007-06-25T12:25:00.000-04:00Let Marty Smith host it with Stacy and Boris.

I, like the column writer cannot imagine they would continue on with main hosts of shows that haven't the slightest notion at to what NASCAR is about. It should be an embarassment to ESPN if it continues past their opening season. If it weren't for Boris and Stacy, I'd never watch "NASCAR Now" It should be called "NASCAR What?"<BR/><BR/>MBeard, Muskogee, OKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-75918917625370888882007-06-25T09:55:00.000-04:002007-06-25T09:55:00.000-04:00You are absolutely right!

If they can't see that the logical choice for permanent host of this show is Allen Bestwick than at least, give it to Ryan Burr. Also, use only "expert" commentators with NASCAR expertise. Stacy Compton & Boris Said are two of the best that have appeared on NACAR Now. Rusty Wallace is definitely not vital to the show nor are any of the other "experts" with no NASCAR experience. <BR/>Maybe this is all "trial & error" stuff and ESPN will get it right by the time they take over the race coverage and NASCAR Now will finally become the show we all thought it would be before it actually went on the air for the first time. We can only hope!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
