What is his connection with Nascar? I don't really understand why he is on. Is it to appeal to a specific audience? I don't know anybody that likes him and he brings nothing to the show."<BR/><BR/>You know someone now. I like Rachtman and I always have. But I am a heavy metal music lover so I am familiar with him for a while. He has more tattoos than I like but I dont think he is a bad person just because of that. He is a huge fan of the sport just like I am and I think it adds to the discussion to have real, intelligent fans on the show expressing racing opinions. Instead of the usual corporate shills or the drooling, beer-swilling Jr fan.<BR/>And speaking of TiVo, I just finished Raceday, now its on to the Countdown and then the race itself. I'm sooooo far behind but TiVo is worth it.<BR/>Kevin in SoCalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-39937992905581189752007-10-07T14:04:00.000-04:002007-10-07T14:04:00.000-04:00never mind...jsut saw where others had problems al...never mind...jsut saw where others had problems also...ine was LOTS longer than just one or two minutes.<BR/><BR/><BR/>meant to say LOST speed...not love Speed<BR/><BR/><BR/>.<BR/><BR/><BR/>.<BR/><BR/>.oopsSophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789033556426951026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-69525616198938587502007-10-07T14:02:00.000-04:002007-10-07T14:02:00.000-04:00No problems with bright house in central Florida.I...No problems with bright house in central Florida.<BR/>I have RaceDay on until the race. I don't sit in front of the TV for the two hours; but, I can listen while I do my "before the race chores".<BR/>Really enjoyed the Jr. interview. There is just a more relaxed feeling with the SPEED broadcasts. I wonder if the drivers tense up with ESPN because of their confrontational approach.<BR/>Enjoy the race, everyone. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-71437831869612912392007-10-07T14:01:00.000-04:002007-10-07T14:01:00.000-04:00Charter cable in western Mich. has been fine today...Charter cable in western Mich. has been fine today.
