Here'...A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Here's hoping for a safe and exciting Nascar season and better production values all around.<BR/><BR/>Here's my list on what I hope Santa brings to some:<BR/><BR/>For ESPN: Smarter directors, and getting clues on how to produce a great race for home viewers.<BR/><BR/>For Speed: A better idea on what kind of network they want to be. Are you going to be a pure racing network or will we continue to be forced to watch such drivel as Unique Whips, auto auctions and men towing cars?<BR/><BR/>For Tony Stewart: Lots of good luck. Not a real good time to start a new race team.<BR/><BR/>For Dale Jr: More wins and proof you're not racing on your name only.<BR/><BR/>For all racers not named Jimmie Johnson: Great engineers, top-notch crews and a whole lot of luck.<BR/><BR/>For Brian France: Coal in his stocking and maybe a DVD of The Wizard of Oz so he can learn how to find a heart and a brain.<BR/><BR/>For Hunter, Helton and Pemberton--the three Un-Wise Men: The ability to interpret the rule book and the foresight to allow the drivers to be themselves and not corporate robots.<BR/><BR/>For Bobby Labonte, Rusty Wallace, Ryan Newman, Petty Enterprises and all other unemployed or under-sponsored drivers and teams, sponsorship to run viable programs.<BR/><BR/>For Chad Knauss: A book deal for his new non-fiction entitled, Cheaters Always Finish First.<BR/><BR/>For the guys on Raceday: Hope that Home Depot continues to sponsor their great show (rumor has it, they're not).<BR/><BR/>For Krista Voda and Wendy Venturini: A contract with ESPN and Fox to replace Spake and Little on Nascar broadcasts.<BR/><BR/>To Nascar Now: You don't need much, just keep on keeping on.<BR/><BR/>To the ESPN broadcast crew: HELP !! If not for Dale Jarrett, the entire crew would be a total disaster. <BR/><BR/>To Dr Jerry Punch: A ticket back to what he does best: pit reporting.<BR/><BR/>To Allen Bestwick: A new contract allowing him to take Dr Jerry's seat in the booth.<BR/><BR/>To the guys at Sirius Nascar: No changes. The XM/Sirius merger is changing things, not for the better in many ways. Leave channel 128 alone !!!<BR/><BR/>To the Automakers: Brains to get their "stuff" together in Detroit and continues support of all racing series.<BR/><BR/>Jack Roush: A good security system so others don't steal your equipment.<BR/><BR/>Carl Edwards: An anger management course. Get the name from T. Stewart.<BR/><BR/> To The Truck Series: R-E-S-P-E-C-T, and lots of sponsors and viewers.<BR/><BR/>For John Daly: Continued success with TDP.<BR/><BR/>To all Nascar fans: Better racing, cheaper tickets, better racing, different winners each week, better TV coverage, better racing, no interrupted TV coverage for local news, ESPN keeping the races on ONE channel, better racing, smarter start times for races, dumping one race each at Michigan, Fontana and New Hampshire, the return of the Southern 500, dumping the Chase and putting together a points system that makes sense, Nascar going back to basics, and did I mention--better racing.<BR/><BR/>To all the fans of TDP: A great Holiday, healthy New Year and better Nascar racing in 2009.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-20234654350209530802008-12-23T12:34:00.001-05:002008-12-23T12:34:00.001-05:00Twas the days before ChristmasAnd in J.D's blogAll...Twas the days before Christmas<BR/>And in J.D's blog<BR/>All the race fans were happy<BR/>That it's the end of the slog<BR/><BR/>Last season, it showed us<BR/>just who didn't care<BR/>But we kept after those networks<BR/>about who they put on the air<BR/><BR/>Now ES-PIN, Now hear us<BR/>You can't fool us now<BR/>Jerry Punch has to get off,<BR/>but we all wonder....how?<BR/><BR/>And the France-ster named Brian<BR/>Who cares not a hoot,<BR/>About the fans of his racing <BR/>Should just get the "boot"<BR/><BR/>As the crisis of sponsors<BR/>Causes big teams to merge<BR/>I hope that you'll join me<BR/>And resist the urge<BR/><BR/>To scream from your windows<BR/>And at your T.V. set<BR/>Merry Christmas! to NASCAR<BR/>We ain't done with you yet!<BR/><BR/>Happy Christmas<BR/>Bray KroterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-37840116830986231872008-12-23T12:34:00.000-05:002008-12-23T12:34:00.000-05:00JD, thank you for all the hard work, and giving fa...JD, thank you for all the hard work, and giving fans somewhere to voice our opinions.
