I agree that Craven is an excellent speaker,but the sport has changed so much since he got out of the seat that I think he's lacking a bit in terms of what it takes to drive these Cot's and all the technical nuances behind them.So he gives you the strategy and philosophy stuff. NN is much more serious than TWIN. Last night, Mikey just wanted to chat. A golden opportunity was also missed. They were discussing changes to the COT. Knaus started to say what he really thought,and Mikey cut him off. Byrnes,oblivious to it all laughed and moved on. TWIN has definitely gotten better,but something is definitely missing.Keep in mind that TWIN comes on after we watched the race,the Speed Report,Victory Lane, Wind Tunnel and Nascar Now. Many times, I've listened to Biffle and Waltrip and knew more about what happened than they did. I don't know how many times I've heard Biffle say "I just saw that clip for the first time".I'm not sure that Twin knows what void it's trying to fill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-70492616583529508832008-10-21T11:43:00.000-04:002008-10-21T11:43:00.000-04:00I have really enjoyed some of the comments today. ...I have really enjoyed some of the comments today. I too like Craven and think he does a great job.<BR/><BR/>I have never understood why they have Boris on the shows. Just as has been said, he has little to add from a driver's perspective. He seems to often have a chip on his shoulder.<BR/><BR/>Whether you like them or not, I can see the the different shows having Ray, DJ, and Rusty on. All of them have been drivers or owners, or crew cheifs and champions in their fields. They have credibility in what they say and on their opinions.<BR/><BR/>I don't care what is going on in Ray's world. He has made it very clear that he is not part of the day to day decision making process and probably would be the last to know. I don't need to hear him say it again and again. <BR/><BR/>Ray is a very smart guy. He made a boat load of money when he decided to be an owner. Then he made more when he sold most of his team. I think that because of all the personal issues in his life, he may be looking to the future in a different role and is not ready to make an announcement in NN.<BR/><BR/>I like Allen and just because he and some others agree with NASCAR on some issues does not mean he's drinking the Kool Aid. I respect him enough to think that it is really his opinion.<BR/><BR/>Good conversation, folksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-9884761066131477632008-10-21T11:28:00.000-04:002008-10-21T11:28:00.000-04:00I didn't catch the show so I didn't see the wreck ...I didn't catch the show so I didn't see the wreck in question, but there's a famous picture/video of a 1996 Talladega wreck where Ricky Craven drives the #41 Kodiak car through the air over Ricky Rudd in the #10.

However last night, I found myself asking WHY they put Boris on there? He really has very little NASCAR experience and adds no insight IMHO. He was truly horrible last night. <BR/><BR/>Agree with everyone about Craven - he was always one of my favorites on the track and he's SO articulate. It would be nice to have someone who has no personal agenda or tries to dumbdown things like the Fox crew doing play by play.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-31677268733079325382008-10-21T10:48:00.000-04:002008-10-21T10:48:00.000-04:00i haven't been able to catch NN too often this yea...i haven't been able to catch NN too often this year, but when i have it's been pretty good. the monday shows are obviously the best ones, and i enjoy having the differing opinions. i still have a hard time seeing boris on the set, though. he's hardly ever raced outside of the road courses, and he's trying to give insights and opinions on something he doesn't have a lot of experience with. i only caught half of last night's show, so i didn't get to see too much of craven, but i'll always listen to a guy who was in Cup full time over a less-than-part-timer.<BR/><BR/>TWIN is a good show that i look forward to watching. it's a lot less formal, which is why i like it, and having current drivers/crew chiefs adds more in my estimation. i enjoy the shows more when chad is on, just due to the fact that we get to hear insights from the crew chief's perspective. we get a little more technical breakdown, and that's always a plus for me.<BR/><BR/>i don't have too much of a problem with the obvious questions not getting asked to ray and mikey. to me, the shows aren't about them in the first place, so i'm not watching for the latest on "what's evernham going to do next year," or "behind the scenes of MWR." i want insights and opinions of the race and the nuances behind the racing, so as long as that's covered i'm happy.znimrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344642038753841275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-27284811330869658172008-10-21T10:32:00.000-04:002008-10-21T10:32:00.000-04:00I don't think Mike should ignore his own teams if ...I don't think Mike should ignore his own teams if they are the news.

Tony Stewart comes to mind in Atlanta when the tires absolutely sucked and was the only one that called Goodyear out and the crap that he took kfor speaking his mind and I think that no one outside of Junior couild have said what he said about NASCAR calling cautions to make the race interesting and get away with it. I miss the old days when the drivers like Cale and Bobby and even David Pearson were not afraid to speak their minds for fear of what the sanctioning body would do to them.majorshousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01061887437257431963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-12535740506916295642008-10-21T08:39:00.000-04:002008-10-21T08:39:00.000-04:00Sometimes it seems like, if you want to be a popul...Sometimes it seems like, if you want to be a popular host on one of these shows, all you have to do is bad-mouth NASCAR.<BR/><BR/>Then everyone will call you "independent" or "not PC."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-68537897669592092992008-10-21T08:26:00.000-04:002008-10-21T08:26:00.000-04:00Glad to see TWIN atleast mention the Trucks, it,s ...Glad to see TWIN atleast mention the Trucks, it,s a start.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-67622160532171695192008-10-21T07:37:00.000-04:002008-10-21T07:37:00.000-04:00Even Allen Bestwick seems to have suddenly become ...Even Allen Bestwick seems to have suddenly become a staunch defender of NASCAR on this program<BR/><BR/>Allen is an excellent host and probably a good PXP guy but he has been drinking the NASCAR kool aid too long to be an effective commentator. He has generally always been the moderator and NASCAR defender. This is not a bad thing, but like all the MRN guys, just don't expect free-thinking opinions from him.<BR/><BR/>I kinda like the Ricky/ Boris thing. Both have interesting opinions, and while I don't always agree with them, they are opinions that are generally not colored by NASCAR, and that is something sorely lacking outside of print.<BR/><BR/>Tom<BR/>Inverness FLTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04004047098122631995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-23993926816039883792008-10-21T07:09:00.000-04:002008-10-21T07:09:00.000-04:00I believe it was Steve Grissom in that 41 car that...I believe it was Steve Grissom in that 41 car that broke in half. He walked away but probably was sore the next few days. I would like to hear about team's 2009 plans but maybe TWIN feels it's not the right time for Michael to talk about it right now.

Replace him with Ricky permanently.<BR/><BR/>Did anyone pay attention to the replay of Jr's interview? He wanted the race to go green to the end. I wonder how much trouble he'll be in after mentioning that NASCAR probably would have called a caution in the late stages of the race, if one didn't occur naturally (paraphrasing). Something we have all suspected anyway.<BR/><BR/>A comment about the other column. I sure hope ESPU isn't going to adopt NASCARs way of thinking and not make any changes for next year. This applies to NN and the race coverage. Pity us if they do.<BR/><BR/>TWIN was good. Instead of showing the RCR meeting, I would've rather seen more truck race coverage. Maybe next year SPEED will figure that out. The N in TWIN is NASCAR. But, then again, maybe there won't be a truck series :(. I liked Humpy's segment. Give that man his own show. I would watch it.Dothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15701502016993312530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-81395759359084992502008-10-20T23:39:00.000-04:002008-10-20T23:39:00.000-04:00Thanks Jess!Thanks Jess!Daly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-23466208534752874492008-10-20T23:27:00.000-04:002008-10-20T23:27:00.000-04:00JD, I listened to his scanner.
