And yes, I DID see 7 Days. As others pointed out, some were better than others. I also watched NASCAR 360 (which had its good/bad moments), NBS 24/7, etc. I might have questions about who was included, but like many others, I'm guessing it was the ones who said yes. As for why--if you thought it would get a sponsor to pay attention to your spouse, you might consider it too (not saying I agree, mind you, just that I understand.) I have also seen 'Little People, Big World' and again, some is real and some is staged. It can still be pretty interesting. I don't watch much reality stuff for the reasons many have stated, but the truth is, it gets good ratings or it wouldn't be on (and some of the less interesting were gone quickly.) Still has to have some kind of spark.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-44245471319435740012009-01-16T14:01:00.000-05:002009-01-16T14:01:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-55220728405198968692009-01-16T11:32:00.000-05:002009-01-16T11:32:00.000-05:00I liked NASCAR Drivers:360, so yes, I am going to ...I liked NASCAR Drivers:360, so yes, I am going to tune in and give this show a chance. Delana is presented as being very active in the day to day running of KHI, so if the show shows that, it will be interesting. Same with Kelley and JR Motorsports, though that team is so hurting for sponsorship there might not be much for her to do. Her inclusion really does come across as pandering to Jr Nation to get them to watch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-28881075467549364052009-01-15T23:43:00.000-05:002009-01-15T23:43:00.000-05:00If the show featured the wives of, say, Ryan Newma...If the show featured the wives of, say, Ryan Newman, Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth, Jimmie Johnson, Greg Biffle or even Kurt Busch I would definitely be watching. They are today's NASCAR wives and because those women have managed to keep their private lives with their husbands as private as possible is what would make such a line-up appealing to watch. But maintaining their privacy is also the reason I think they would not participate in a show like this one. <BR/><BR/>I'm not excited about the casting of the featured "wives" but I will probably watch the first show just out of curiosity.NorCalFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373612307351787221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-49974253828354561032009-01-15T22:55:00.000-05:002009-01-15T22:55:00.000-05:00This should NOT be called NASCAR wives.

I will no longer root for him. Mike Skinner's wife is a great idea to show something about the truck series. Wish they would let us pick and vote who should be on.

Nascar Wives doesn't even come close to being anything near to what the sport is all about. A smart and astute production person could very easily come up with a program, or programs, that could be interesting, informative and be about the sport itself, and not a reality show about wives, or sisters, who aren't really in the inner circle of racing (despite having the last name of Earnhardt). I would rather see a weekly show on what's going on in the off season for all the race teams. How about a regular news show that address everything that goes on before Daytona? With the constant changes happening right now in the sport, a daily program on that would be welcome. Just look at what's happened in the past few days---Labonte moving to the 96 car after being mentioned to be in line for the number 8 of Earnhardt/Ganassi, all the crew chief changes, how teams are handling the no testing rule, Yates and HOF Racing agreeing to an alignment, Earnhardt-Childress Racing Technologies eliminating their engine shop jobs if Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing doesn't field four full time Cup teams and how about the rumor of teams shipping cars overseas to test? Heck, I'd even watch segments on any drivers who are racing in other kinds of venues in the off season (Dakar Rally and Robbie Gordon). But to put on a show on wives, girlfriends and extended family members doing mundane things isn't at all racing related nor is it interesting. And as for the spending habits of any of them, be it the driver's themselves or their wives, again, I couldn't care less. We all know they make big bucks and spend on things we find silly and over the top, and again, that aspect of their lives holds no interest to me. Big deal that Mark Martin can buy a plane or that Dale Jr has a bar in Charlotte or Greg Biffle has decided not to fly his helicopter to the Speed studios because of the bad economy. We know they are millionaires and make more in once race than most of us make in a year and we don't need to have that accentuated any more than it already is. Give us racing shows, plain and simple and leave the fluff off the screens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-28468840431026851392009-01-14T12:02:00.000-05:002009-01-14T12:02:00.000-05:00I will probably watch it if I remember to.
