What you are talking about has already been previewed or is going to be talked about again with the driver on the starting grid.<BR/><BR/>What a shame for SPEED.<BR/><BR/>JDDaly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-25299426340021722852008-08-04T14:41:00.000-04:002008-08-04T14:41:00.000-04:00Richard, I agree.Spencer is on that list of driver...Richard, I agree.<BR/>Spencer is on that list of drivers who have won in all three series.Lisa Hoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15816899271672467136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-43380414126793047552008-08-04T14:38:00.000-04:002008-08-04T14:38:00.000-04:00I think Hermie does a very good job, but I thought...I think Hermie does a very good job, but I thought Race Day seemed to move very slow witnout Spencer. Race Day gives me the feel of being in the infield before the race, and it lost some of its punch without Spencer. I don't view Hermie and Jimmie as alternatives, but as complimenting each other - and I believe Jimmy's CUP history makes many drivers relate more to him as a peer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-60026369329579791772008-08-04T14:01:00.000-04:002008-08-04T14:01:00.000-04:00Hermie did a great job.

Manske , the volume/inflection and quality of questions and how you phrase them with respect to the person you are talking to, with your knowledge of the sport,is to put all at ease for the interview. There is no doubt to this fan, that this is an important skill when you interview someone.Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11036612315003068127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-84088647931356357832008-08-04T08:52:00.000-04:002008-08-04T08:52:00.000-04:00I agree Hermie is better than 85% of the analysts ...I agree Hermie is better than 85% of the analysts on Speed, ESPN, FOX, Etc.

Even with all the expensive cutaway cars across the TV networks,they all did a terrible job. Not Hermie. On two pieces of cardboard,he had simple sketches that made it very clear what was being done. My condolences to Jimmy Spencer,but I didn't miss him and listening to that bufoon,Kenny Wallace, made me want to throw up.Especially after his performance at Indy. No credibility in my book. I'd really get sick if I found out how much he and Jimmy get paid for such nonsense!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-67667661003481470472008-08-04T02:02:00.000-04:002008-08-04T02:02:00.000-04:00J.

I like JS because of the Kurt Busch punch, but he's a little too unpolished for TV. It really shows now that he's not there. (Condolences to him). I don't mean to bag on Jimmy, especially now. I'm just being timely. <BR/><BR/>Is it just me, or is Hermie alot easier to understand? Or, am I just used to his voice?
