You sound like a broken record. Oh, boo hoo, the producers have made a decision you don't like and now you're going to beat the horse to death every show until the end of the chase? Some of us LIKE the preview first, and I'm guessing that even those who don't aren't having to "swallow" the preview-then-review format. <BR/><BR/>If you want to criticize TWIN, why not criticize them for wasting an entire segment every show so they can show "highlights" of the SPEED coverage -- which is rarely little more than a quick-cut montage of Kenny Spencer jumping on tables, making sound effects and acting like a horse's rear. It's the MOST pointless segment on the show, but you never mention that. Instead you have some chip on your shoulder about the preview. <BR/><BR/>Get. Over.

Granted it wasn't as funny as last week but I still enjoyed it. I am not sure if any of the video from the sand cars was new but either way it definitely didn't belong, otherwise it was an OK show. I've given up on the backwards aspect, I would be fine with it if it was only the first 15 minutes and not the first 30+ (give the guys more time to have fun and lose the video filler too)I was glad to see Michael was able to make the sway bar crack for a laugh especially since he is now out of the top 35 and there are going to be 46 cars at the next race.Newracefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324764517098771035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-63263249267877513332008-06-10T16:21:00.000-04:002008-06-10T16:21:00.000-04:00I used to look forward to Monday nights.

Not interested in what might happen and am not interested in the various videos and interviews they trot out to fill time. Shows the weekend of the race are the ideal place to talk about what is about to happen this week. <BR/><BR/>I think Speed is looking for an excuse to cancel this traditional Monday night time slot for something else.

I don't watch the show live any more, it's not worth it to me to waste the hour when I can save it to the DVR and FF through the commercials and stuff I've seen before. I just can't deal with Mikey's "everything is wonderful in NASCAR" shtick any more. It's gotten old and it makes me feel like he will say anything no matter how inane as long as NASCAR pats him on the head. That's not "funny", it's stupid.

I didn't realize it was the same Sand Car piece ESPN showed on Nascar Now after the Vegas race 3 months ago. The only thing missing was the "I am.

Waltrip trying to keep up his on-screen persona with huge cracks showing. Watched it twice to try to put my finger on what felt 'off,' and aside from the lack of good info (who won how much money, where the points stand after Pocono, and in-depth discussion of the duties of the rescue personnel in light of Montoya's flame-out), there just wasn't enough time given to the past race. The re-use of the desert buggies was inexcusable, especially since Biffle said he owned one. If you want to talk about sand buggies, show Biffle with his. But what that had to do with THIS WEEK in Nascar is beyond me. <BR/>Sad, sad, sad.Tracy Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14361101058670921686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-19670371076734789802008-06-10T11:24:00.000-04:002008-06-10T11:24:00.000-04:00I agree, the show is not the same without that cat...I agree, the show is not the same without that cat Mikey--it is, in fact, much better without him.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08643767152675274688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-85797929857118462992008-06-10T10:41:00.000-04:002008-06-10T10:41:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-67104734626530337672008-06-10T09:23:00.000-04:002008-06-10T09:23:00.000-04:00deb,What I said was:"Even though these two are not...deb,<BR/><BR/>What I said was:<BR/><BR/>"Even though these two are not close in their personal lives, Biffle and Waltrip have found a way to work together effectively on-the-air."<BR/><BR/>Never suggested there was a problem or they did not like each other.

While his mispronunciations (and the implied insults to Patrick Carpentier) were very distasteful to me, I am still more disturbed that no one calls him on his blatant brown-nosing in support of NASCAR's corporate view that "everything is fine with the COT and racing."

Sometimes it seems like fans and others take comments or reactions on this show very seriously and read into them, but this is just a TV show like any other where the panel members are playing roles to a degree and some things may be exaggerated for effect. <BR/><BR/>Has Michael found his comfort zone on this show, or has the show found it's comfort zone with him and the other panel members? Maybe it's just my imagination but it seems to me that the format has been tweaked a little to where the panel members have a little more freedom to discuss things and they're more comfortable with that as a result. In general, imo, Michael has always been very comfortable in front of a TV camera which is why we see him on so many shows (and commercials). <BR/><BR/>This was an okay episode - the best part for me was when the panelists got to talking about this past race. I didn't pay too much attention to what they said about the upcoming race at Michigan.
