Sure did used to have better nicknames.<BR/><BR/>I have some mixed feelings about Start & Parks. I have a problem faulting those guys that might need the prize from one race in order to be able to afford to actually compete in the next race. It does seem to me that a simple solution might be to require each car in the race to buy oh say 3 or 4 sets of tires and to have a pit crew if more than say 45 cars are entered. I'm not sure S & P's are a real problem if there are only 1 or 2 cars more than a full field entered.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-75833412420935897152009-03-08T14:54:00.000-04:002009-03-08T14:54:00.000-04:00Kurt is spanking the field, this plus a green flag...Kurt is spanking the field, this plus a green flag stop or 2 there won't be anyone left on the lead lap. <BR/><BR/>Thanks Mike for letting us know "why" Bliss out of the race.

Do the drivers make more, or does the extra money go somewhere else? <BR/><BR/>I can only think that this issue is money driven for the upper food chain and not so much about the odd wad teams. NASCAR didn't seem too concerned about the S&Ps before now.<BR/><BR/>One more thought. Let's hope that they don't start announcing "Kyle Busch and the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series" like they do with "Kobe Bryant and the Lakers".<BR/><BR/>Ok, one more, THEY do know who is out of the race and why according to the booth tour. I was surprised they said that since they never tell us.Dothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15701502016993312530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-89081443178345509882009-03-08T13:16:00.000-04:002009-03-08T13:16:00.000-04:00I don't normally enjoy Raceday because of Spen...I don't normally enjoy Raceday because of Spencer & Wallace. However, Jimmy had some good points regarding S&P's. Also, I believe we will be watching Fox's lovefest with KB today. Heck with the rest of the cars in the field. There are drivers racing for the 30th spot that still have fans and would just like a glimpse and/or mention of them.

Too bad he did not win last year, he can no longer be the youngest. That will stay with Jeff until Joey tries for it. <BR/><BR/>As far as Jr goes. Of course the cameras will follow him. Ever go to a race? Ever see him lead a lap? The fans go crazy! As far as popularity goes, he's got about 40% or so of folks who only want to see him. <BR/><BR/>It's the same on all sports, as was said by Ken. Ratings follow the best or the popular. Life is not fair.

Sorry to see KB as the winner. The series does not need that. I still thought the racing and SPEED coverage was good.<BR/><BR/>Just what I do not want to hear is more KB overload on fox pre race. But then again I have not watched prerace shows this season on fox, since daytona. (it is that gopher stuff.) And as I have recently tuned on the race when the green flag dropped, so I would not have to witness the pre race program. Fox may be trying to stay with a script.

Whether it is auto racing, politics, professional wrestling, football, Hollywood, etc, the two people who gets the most attention and highest ratings are the most popular and the most unpopular. It is that way and probably always be. To be the most popular or unpopular you have to have a famous name and/or be very good at what you do. It also helps to rub the haters nose in it when you are successful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-49744027418391017402009-03-08T10:04:00.000-04:002009-03-08T10:04:00.000-04:00I no longer watch any pre-race programming.
