TWIN did rock tonight. Jimmy Spencer is the best thing to happen to Monday night in years! I've long GRIPED we needed a third panelist and tonight was great. I had two brief interruptions tonight so will have to catch the reair to see what Jimmy & Chad disagreed on (so much can't remember!(<br /><br />There was more CONVERSATION it seemed and everybody had a real individual opinion. At one point after the bottom of the hour, I found myself smiling halfway into the commercial!<br /><br />Steve did a FABULOUS job directing the conversation and Mikey was funny, too. It reminded me of the old Winston Cup show. <br /><br />Luckily SPEED RE AIRS this great show at midnight and I've the timer on to rewatch it... Might tape the later version as I missed some comments from laughing and there was snappy banter!!!<br /><br />Can't wait to hear what others think but my opinion won't change.<br /><br />Mr. Excitement stood up to his nikname tonight!! LOL.<br /><br />Great job SPEED.<br /><br />:-DSophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789033556426951026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-31384681208601046412009-09-28T21:31:52.236-04:002009-09-28T21:31:52.236-04:00@Sophia-I remember that too..90 mins could be good...@Sophia-I remember that too..90 mins could be good or bad, depending on the race.

There is a substantial portion of the NASCAR media ( for instance Ed Hinton, Mike Mulhern, Lee Spencer, and now Jerry Bonkowski)who are constantly criticizing and bashing NASCAR, often without regard to facts - but I guess that is what has kept newspapers so successful.Richard in N.C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-66290375099348709372009-09-28T19:08:22.538-04:002009-09-28T19:08:22.538-04:00I watch TWIN, but I'm so over with RaceDay and...I watch TWIN, but I'm so over with RaceDay and Nascar Now. I'm tired of "all Chasers, all the time", so because of that, I'm not going to be watching either of those shows anymore this season. I just don't think the NN guys, despite the fact that I do appreciate their knowledge, can keep my interest in a race wrap up show when the race was terribly boring to watch. The only interesting part of Dover was, unfortunately, Logano's barrel rolling, and listening to Tony Stewart, who basically caused the wreck, explain to his crew chief what happened. <br /><br />Sorry, but I'm just about finished with everything Nascar for this season. And the powers-that-be had better wake up and make some changes so they don't see their weekly ratings fall below the number 1 and see their attendance continue to tumble.darbarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818341701216687244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-32908395181546073952009-09-28T18:35:32.228-04:002009-09-28T18:35:32.228-04:00JD I noticed that too I just started laughing.

It's called "This Week In Nascar". Good Gosh!! People need to learn to read the acticle before responding. Twin clearly referred simply to the "twin" panel of Knaus and Waltrip and not the name of the show!! Must of been to simple. Maybe someone, read Josh, who has not watched the show in four years and clearly does not even know the name of it should keep quite. I remember the origional panel of Bestwick, Waltrip, Spenser, and Benson. They worked very well together. The show lost its footing when they took it from a 1/2hr show, to a 1hr show, to a 1.5hr show. 1.5hrs was WAY to long. However, time marches forward, things change. They worked through there issues for the most part. I've watched the show for years and adding Spenser back on the panel will be great. He's opinionated, something Waltrip and Knaus are not, so it will add another dimension.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-86197514617145832472009-09-28T09:34:10.045-04:002009-09-28T09:34:10.045-04:00I love both Randy and Ricky, even when I disagree,...I love both Randy and Ricky, even when I disagree, as former drivers their comments are always worth paying attention to. <br />Probably won't be watching much NN or TWIN this time, the 48 love fest nauseates me.

I have no idea what niche Twin is trying to fill. Byrnes is mis-cast and Waltrip is insulting to listen to. I'm no fan of Spencer,but he did an excellent job last week calling them like he saw them.

My viewership of that show ended immediately after they made the moronic decision to replace Bestwick & Johnny Benson with Dave Despain & Vickers. I know that's ancient history at this point, but they tried to fix what wasn't broken.<br /><br />Steve Byrnes didn't save the sinking ship when he replaced Despain. I tried to watch the "new" show with both hosts & it just didn't do anything for me.Joshnoreply@blogger.com
