Last year it was actually a second or two ahead of the actual broadcast. Guess it just figures.<br /><br />On the Meyers thing since it seems to be such a hit to someone, IF and I mean IF, FOX could take away the "we kid because we care" garbage gimmick that Chris Meyers is "playing" and allowed him to actually be himself and professional and show he knows a thing or two about racing and assumes a host role, I wouldnt mind keeping him. But if that isn't going to change any time soon I dont see a problem with taking a Krista Voda who is arguably being groomed for this exact host role with the last 2 years on SPEED showing clear signs of that, and putting her on FOX. <br /><br />Aside from that, I concur with the changes with most have suggested with shorter raceday and less fluffThe Loose Wheelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06048709313597675807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-58452877203742557702009-05-17T23:07:00.000-04:002009-05-17T23:07:00.000-04:00jd, these days, i wonder if one can be a nascar fa...jd, these days, i wonder if one can be a nascar fan WITHOUT a conspiracy theory! <br /><br />interesting times, eh?redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08469882559901586219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-76881474800441720422009-05-17T23:02:00.000-04:002009-05-17T23:02:00.000-04:00red,

(the screen size issue was apparently not a problem for most so i accept it was just my laptop -- but it was still irritating.) <br /><br />as i said last night: i only found it valuable in just listening to my driver's engine as he raced and matching what i was hearing with what i was seeing out his windshield. but even that was limited b/c of the switching to the rear camera randomly. for me, "all star buddy" ain't no race buddy!<br /><br />i thought voda and hammond were excellent together and that dw continues to see action on the track before the truck can get it keyed up so he must be either seeing camera shots we don't see or looking out the window. once again, he called the action and the producer had to follow dw's lead.<br /><br />speaking of dw: enthusiasm for young mr busch is one thing. fawning is another thing all together. last night moved into the latter. lock 'er down, dw, when it comes to young mr busch, 'k?<br /><br />last 10 laps made it all worthwhile and i have no problem with the excitement in the booth. i suspect many fans were yelling just as loud at home as dw and larry mac were on the broadcast. great racing and a true "feel good" story in stewart's win.<br /><br />@richard in re: earnhardt's gloves: i kinda like the skeleton gloves myself!redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08469882559901586219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-47897480314661550402009-05-17T22:33:00.000-04:002009-05-17T22:33:00.000-04:00Wow - night of the living mults again :)

I see a lot of similarity in Kyle B today and DW back in the day.<br /><br />I was not impressed with Buddy and it was at least 30 seconds out of sync with MRN, which made it even less impressive for me. It reminded me of driving home on the Interstate at night. As much as I hate them, I sure do wish Dale, Jr. had worn his white gloves last night.<br /><br />I really did enjoy seeing Victory Lane right after the race - and I think it would be interesting to interview a couple of the civilians in V-Lane.Richard in N.C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-18449459659927567202009-05-17T21:13:00.000-04:002009-05-17T21:13:00.000-04:00Hey...next time...how about....thinking about thin...Hey...next time...how about....thinking about things in advance...and then adding some punctuation...on a single....post?Daly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-44141845048216779502009-05-17T21:12:00.000-04:002009-05-17T21:12:00.000-04:00I was at the race, so my comments are based on wha...I was at the race, so my comments are based on what I heard of the broadcast through my scanner. DW's love affair with Kyle Busch is nauseating. I can tell you that I, along with a large majority of the fans in the stands, don't share his enthusiasm. Fans of any driver who was closing on the 18 were being loudly cheered on by all the fans in the stands. The burnout contest was better watched from the stands as I did, but I agree about the clueless judges and rules that made no sense. It is nice this was for charity but really it was silly. DW made a fool of himself there too by driving back to the start through the grass --there were people there! I hated the wrestler guy as emcee for teh all-star stuff -- yuck! I finally got tired of listening to all the idiocy and switched my scanner to MRN much as i do when I'm at home rather than listening to the TV drivel.GinaV24https://www.blogger.com/profile/10828669350024430018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-8619772375545718552009-05-17T21:06:00.000-04:002009-05-17T21:06:00.000-04:00i do not mean to insult speed..but they tend to wa...i do not mean to insult speed..but they tend to water-down everything..so i find myself tuning in late and getting what i need....at least when fox or abc carry a race they have a concise prerace show and when i tune in i get the best they can offer....<br /> and i like the fun dw, jeff and myers have before a race..they make it informative and fun..dannynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-74578596914486161552009-05-17T21:03:00.000-04:002009-05-17T21:03:00.000-04:00Why would you show up on this site and use eight n...Why would you show up on this site and use eight nicks to offer eight different posts on the same subject?<br /><br />Please cut that out in the future.<br /><br />Getting to be a weird night in TDP land.Daly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-12064209267731776232009-05-17T21:00:00.000-04:002009-05-17T21:00:00.000-04:00why the dw bashing...he at least speaks with passi...why the dw bashing...he at least speaks with passion and enthusiasm...mike joy slows him down..hammond and myers fire him up on the fox prerace show...<br />sorry speed ..was not feeling the flavor !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
