In-Progress At Texas: Final Sprint Cup Practice Sessions


(click directly on the picture for the larger image of TMS)

After the dramatic events of Friday, the Sprint Cup cars return to the Texas track for two sessions of practice.

SPEED begins the coverage at Noon Eastern Time and will continue on-the-air live through the built-in lunch break at 12:45PM. The cars return to the track around 1:15PM and continue this practice session until 2:30PM.

As the combined Fox and SPEED announcers have done all weekend, it should be interesting to see which personalities are in which positions for this coverage.

SPEED then steps aside to make way for the NASCAR Countdown show and the live coverage of the Nationwide Series race on ESPN2.

Please note that two popular SPEED shows, NASCAR Performance hosted by Larry McReynolds and Tradin' Paint with John Roberts and Kyle Petty will air later Saturday night.

First up is NASCAR Performance at 7:30PM and then Tradin' Paint at 8PM Eastern. The guest on Tradin' Paint this week is veteran writer Richard Durrett from the Dallas Morning News.

This post will serve to host your comments about the live practice sessions on SPEED. There will be a new post up one hour prior to the Nationwide Series race for comments on that event. A column about Tradin' Paint will be posted Saturday night.

Ok, lets see if they cover the topics Mike Joy said they will. Looking forward to the Kyle Petty issue. And how politically correct they will or will not be.

Tradin Paint should be interesting I hope the guy from Dallas Morning News has a flak (sp?) jacket.

Oh wait, this is final sprint cup practice. Should the Petty issue be on during practice session? So far TV crew is doing well as far as practice is concerned.

Ok JD, the TV crew did discuss the Petty issue as MJ said they would. And DW gave a different side of the story compared MJ and Larry Mac It will be interesting fodder on future blogs as this story develops. Wow the future of PE in the world of NASCAR.

I enjoy Rutledge Wood in the comedy mode. Hence the bike issue we just watched. Just don't know which way SPEED wants to go with him.

What is with drivers in the 5 car and those little tuffs of fur above their chin. First Kyle last year and now Casey.
Enjoying bike gate between personal pet tragedy and that crash yesterday the fun is needed. Reutledge works well in the sort of serious but really just having fun mode of this type of piece. I do not like the let's see how stupid I can be ones that they have had him do it the past. Tony's having fun with it too, hope he doesn't play poker cause his poker face needs work.
