The email started pouring in minutes after Tony
Stewart crossed the finish line of The Brickyard 400.
It came from many different locations around the country, and represented fans of many teams in the sport, except one. Not one email was from a Tony ...

This will be a post to discuss the
live draw for post positions in the Kentucky Derby
that was supposed to end at 6PM. NASCAR Now was scheduled in that timeslot and the live Derby draw is still on the air at 6:20PM. Your comments are welcome below as we all watch this on-air issue continue. I have not seen an explanation on the lower third information panel. ESPN is in SportsCenter , and ...

There has rarely been a week like this
for ESPN. The normal stick-and-ball sports that dominate ESPN
on a daily basis are about to be "one-upped" by what many in Bristol, CT believe is not a sport at all. After more than five years, the top level of ...

Most of the talk about the ABC coverage
continues to be about the missed restarts and the
infamous "draft lock," but there is something else that just can't be ignored. On Friday night in the Busch Series race, the leader Clint Bowyer was trying ...

Short track racing brings a very different dynamic
to the TV networks who try to cover the
action live. Gone are the long pace laps of a Talladega, gone are the long caution periods of a road course. From start to finish, things on a short track ...

There were certainly some high hopes that this
final weekend in Homestead would see the ESPN on

Normally, we do not cover a lot of
the NASCAR radio scene, but this story deserves a
little bit of attention. It certainly got ours. A while back, we wrote about TV and radio veteran John Kernan moving to Chicago for some very positive personal ...

Things in life come and go, but sometimes

It was certainly one of the biggest NASCAR
TV stories of 2008. Rusty Wallace takes a slow
walk down to the Infield Studio and Dale Jarrett steps into the ESPN and ABC broadcast booth for the entire Nationwide and Sprint Cup race schedule. NASCAR Now is also in the middle of some changes, and the first two days of the new schedule were low-key and without any outstanding elements. Wednesday, ...

The NASCAR on Fox broadcast team returns at
1PM Eastern Time Sunday for the Daytona 500 pole
qualifying session. As fans may remember, this is a long process with fifty-plus cars taking runs. The challenge for the TV network, as usual, has always been the placement of commercials. With no "top 35" rule in effect because of the Daytona format, the entire group will just run in continuous ...

Monday night takes on a whole new profile
as SPEED has confirmed that the first episode of
This Week In NASCAR will debut tonight at 9PM. Still putting the final touches on this new program, SPEED had originally intended for the first "official" episode to air after the Daytona 500. Tonight should be an interesting show to put on the DVR or TiVo, as a new era begins for the network. Steve ...

Just a reminder that the very interesting Shifting
Gears TV series featuring Dale Earnhard Jr. will be
airing the second episode Friday evening at 6:30PM Eastern Time. This timeslot is just early enough to miss it as it airs, so this would be one show to add to the DVR or TiVo line-up. This ninety minute episode follows a 6PM NASCAR Now show hosted by Ryan Burr. Co-host Nicole Manske will be ...
