It was the "or ever" comment that caught my attention. Maybe the "plan" is for Logano to run the car full time in Nationwide in 2009. This would seem to point toward him not being in a Cup car? Tony is staying? Another driver is lined up for the Cup 20 car? Sounds like fun time is in full swing! <BR/><BR/>I wasn't following Sophiaz123's regimen of having some wine, (or beer), while watching the pre-race or race, so I am very confident I heard the "or ever" statement. <BR/><BR/>BTW, I am NOT slamming anyone about a little recreational beverage partaking. I just hadn't started yet at that point! <BR/><BR/>Maybe Jayski will touch on D. Hamlin in the next day or so.Rockin Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401306989231204937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-68121066460354365442008-07-05T10:12:00.000-04:002008-07-05T10:12:00.000-04:00I was watching the NW race with friends some fans ...I was watching the NW race with friends some fans some not. While the non fans were impressed with the way the cars ran so close together the fans and I were thinking it was a boring race because we only saw the front runners and most of the racing was going on somewhere else. I blame part of this on what ESPN was chosing to show and part on the guys in the booth for talking about what was on TV and not forcing the camera to find the action they are discussing like Fox does. The camera angles were awful and they lack of excitement in JP's voice kept the conversations rolling and the eyes off the hugh HD TV on the wall even thought the seating centered around it. I wonder what would have happened if AB was doing play by play?Newracefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324764517098771035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-47344573399253576572008-07-05T09:59:00.000-04:002008-07-05T09:59:00.000-04:00And that was in the post race interview.

On the pre-race, I heard D. Hamlin say he wouldn't be back in the 20 this year, or probably ever. There was no follow up to that. Does anyone know what that is about? Is there some issue going on at JGR? Or, am I pulling an ESPN reporting practice, and creating a controversy when there is none? <BR/><BR/>Curious minds(!) want to know!Rockin Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401306989231204937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-71818109399166187362008-07-05T00:04:00.000-04:002008-07-05T00:04:00.000-04:00Anon 11:47PM,Would you please stop reading my mind...Anon 11:47PM,<BR/><BR/>Would you please stop reading my mind!<BR/><BR/>JDDaly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-2321283491379287332008-07-04T23:47:00.000-04:002008-07-04T23:47:00.000-04:00This is risky and I'm not sure ho you would go abo...This is risky and I'm not sure ho you would go about trying it, but it would be fascinating to see DJ try and take the lead on the play by play, since he seems to jump into it anyway.

He was very unprofessional. He sold himself to the fans by always calling every driver he interviewed "my dear friend", "my very good friend" and selling himself to the fans that he was the ultimate insider. Alan Bestwick was always so much better. Punch was not offered a booth job by Fox or NBC, and chose to stay with ESPN rather than take the pit reporter job with those networks, and to save face went on and on about his loyalty to Espn thereby if they didn't offer him a booth job they would look bad. They've given him more than a fair amount of time, but he's just not booth material. Espn needs to put Bestwick in the booth starting with their first race this season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-92019910803257357442008-07-04T23:16:00.000-04:002008-07-04T23:16:00.000-04:00AnonI agree.
