We'll hear about how great this is for the sport and this is "just what NASCAR wanted" from the COT.<BR/><BR/>So... with the tire troubles, the lack of PASSING and side-by-side RACING, this weeks hot topic will be the parity we have seen.<BR/><BR/>Nothin will be mentioned preparing us ( the fans ) for yet another lack luster 500 laps to be run this weekend at the "paper clip" in Virginia.Ken-Michiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00465393385510929010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-82767487741750252872008-03-24T12:46:00.000-04:002008-03-24T12:46:00.000-04:00How do other sports handle it?

The problem may be that Nascar treats the drivers as independent contractors (for lack of a better term) and they can't make a rule to control the influx of the Cup guys into the Wide series (and the Truck series on a smaller scale). I would bet the easiest solution would be to not have the Wide series and the Cup series racing at the same track (or even same side of the country) on the same weekend. <BR/><BR/>BillWebzUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06158542903007550535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-77317900470773977072008-03-24T12:40:00.000-04:002008-03-24T12:40:00.000-04:00Bill,One of the reasons I cricized the pre-race sh...Bill,<BR/><BR/>One of the reasons I cricized the pre-race show was Bestwick never put this issue into perspective. <BR/><BR/>There are many drivers who go up-and-down into-and-out-of Cup. Others run full N'wide and limited Cup. There are many scenarios in the mix.<BR/><BR/>To discuss the situation, you have to suggest rule changes. Should fulltime Cup drivers be limited in N'wide competition? Should Cup drivers who run less than a certain number of races be included in the season long points of the drivers who ran all the events? There are lots of suggestions to improve the return on investment for N'wide sponsors.<BR/><BR/>It should be interesting to see what the guys say about it tonight.<BR/><BR/>JDDaly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-29728972564225496852008-03-24T12:30:00.000-04:002008-03-24T12:30:00.000-04:00(I had a feeling google was gonna eat this message...(I had a feeling google was gonna eat this message, glad I copied it to clipboard)<BR/><BR/>Maybe NN will do an indepth report of the struggles of the Wide regulars and how they cant get into the races when the Cup guys are there.<BR/><BR/>I know when they ask, the Wide drivers all say they like racing against the Cup guys for the experience, but in truth I would bet there is a lot of resentment on the Wide side for all the Cup guys making it hard for them to get in a race.<BR/><BR/>It would be a hoot if all the Wide drivers just boycotted one race and let Nascar scramble to fill the slots with Cup regulars.<BR/><BR/>BillWebzUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06158542903007550535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-64554497930154242182008-03-24T09:46:00.000-04:002008-03-24T09:46:00.000-04:00Anon 10:02PM,This is a very "Big Monday" because o...Anon 10:02PM,<BR/><BR/>This is a very "Big Monday" because of exactly that reason. The challenge of having no Cup or Truck race is on the table.<BR/><BR/>After the Nationwide highlights, it should be interesting to see what stories the network chooses to expose and what topics they put on the table for discussion.<BR/><BR/>When all three series are running, it is easy to fill an hour with talk and video. On this Monday, there is no TWIN on SPEED and NASCAR Now is the only live NASCAR program on the air. <BR/><BR/>JDDaly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-17160784465848855342008-03-23T22:03:00.000-04:002008-03-23T22:03:00.000-04:00Will SPEED even bother with TWIN next week conside...Will SPEED even bother with TWIN next week considering they don't care about Cup this weekend?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-36506011879298994182008-03-23T22:02:00.000-04:002008-03-23T22:02:00.000-04:00How can this possibly be a "Big Monday" when there...How can this possibly be a "Big Monday" when there was limited Nascar action this weekend?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-4042296759344694802008-03-23T21:49:00.000-04:002008-03-23T21:49:00.000-04:00I put this column together because it is going to ...I put this column together because it is going to be a solo night for NASCAR Now.

Since last years fiasco I would rather watch lucy re-runs and Judge Judy during that time slot (which I do). I havent watched more than 5 minutes if the Inside (insert current sponser here) Cup replace ment t his year. Speed messed up badly on the format change, hope they realize it and fix it before the year is out instead of waiting like ESPN did with Nascar Now until the next year.<BR/><BR/>BillWebz (Kingston NY also Lou - small world huh?)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06158542903007550535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-26668304095617609362008-03-23T13:29:00.000-04:002008-03-23T13:29:00.000-04:00I'm also looking forward to Monday's show.
