I guess we all can't have the same preferences, or we would all be looking for blondes with big chests, skinny legs, and low self-esteem.<br /><br />They really should cut back to 30 races, and not compete with the NFL in October and November. Then take off four and a half months and build up our anticipation.Gene Haddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677117602150714769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-47965590252459715572010-02-12T14:45:05.845-08:002010-02-12T14:45:05.845-08:00SoCal....

So far I'm pleased with what I've seen on the track this week. <br /><br />I believe Inside NASCAR also debuted on Showtime this week but I didn't catch it. Looked like they had an interesting panel though.<br /><br />As for the ROTY deal, it's not good that there are no contenders this year, but I think the young guns that have come into the sport over the past several years are now maturing and establishing themselves as the new "core" group of drivers. I think this is just a temporary lull.jmayer1843https://www.blogger.com/profile/03979602470480690327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-78742170739095529582010-02-12T14:21:20.796-08:002010-02-12T14:21:20.796-08:00Jon....I just have a feeling about Smoke after wat...Jon....I just have a feeling about Smoke after watching him in action this past week.

Not saying they're great just saying they tend to annoy me the least. Mike, Larry Mac, and DW basically do a decent job. The TNT and ESPN/ABC telecasts usually make me turn off the volume and have music going instead. I guess it's just personal preference.<br /><br />Anyways, I still think the SPEED F1 announcing trio (Varsha, Hobbs, and Matchet) is the best I've recently heard in motorsports.<br /><br />Nascar by far has the shortest off-season I've ever seen. It seems like they take off, what, like two weeks! I'm exaggerating of course but compared to other motorsports Nascar is about as close to a completely year-round series as I've seen.<br /><br />At some point there becomes too much of a good thing. I believe the technical term might be called "over-saturating the market"?Brad C 525https://www.blogger.com/profile/14442495664390889898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-67752342016090268872010-02-12T08:47:51.738-08:002010-02-12T08:47:51.738-08:00Please please please can we see some unbiased repo...Please please please can we see some unbiased reporting/commentating. The M.Waltrip cheerleading squad on Speedtv(FOX) was an embarassment. I almost won't watch the FOX broadcasts. OK,,,, I said almost. I wonder how the other guys who had stories and drama during the duels felt while Speedtv focused on Mikey. Sad but the directors missed the oppurtunity to really catch more of the drama while focusing on a guy who CRASHED when given the chance to get in on his own. FOX telecasts blow. We need something similar to a Joe Buck and Troy Aikman or Al Michaels and Cris Collinswoth type broadcasts. Troy and Cris were former players and are not afraid to call someone out when they screw up. Al and Joe are great play by play guys who stay calm and tell us what is happening. <br />Sorry ..... Rant over. But that telecast was BS yesterday. <br />Great RSO...socal24fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05532484400230673567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-27711545290334865342010-02-12T08:30:35.348-08:002010-02-12T08:30:35.348-08:00Ah, I have missed your blatherings in the off seas...Ah, I have missed your blatherings in the off season Gene.<br /><br />Keselowski didnt play his cards right for ROTY contention but he is at least "fresher" blood. <br /><br />Did you know Digger has his own merchandise hauler at the track now?
