They finally got going in Daytona after a 60 minute rain delay. Rick Allen, Jeff Burton and Steve Letarte are calling the race. Sprint Cup qualifying was rained out due to the weather. Congrats to Daniel Suarez on his first Xfinity Series pole. NASCAR has ordered a competition caution on lap 20. Continue reading “2015 NASCAR Xfinity Series Race Fifteen Daytona”
2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Sixteen Sonoma
Last race on FOX. I will miss DW until February. I just don’t have much faith in the upcoming NBC broadcast team. For me, anyone that would hire Petty Kyle and Krista for broadcasting is less than reputable – going for cheap rather than quality. I might be surprised, but I have my doubts. At least we’ll be rid of Larry Mc in the booth. Now if we could get Michael Waltrip off the desk and not have him replaced by someone equally useless. It’s a beautiful day in Sonoma. They did a tribute to Jeff Gordon on lap 24 which was nice. Its hard to imagine a NASCAR season without Jeff Gordon. While I’ve only been watching NASCAR religiously since shortly before Jimmie won the third championship, and been listening since the second, I’ve watched and followed NASCAR off and on since I was a child, so I’ve known of Jeff Gordon since shortly after he began his NASCAR career. I’ll miss him driving. Continue reading “2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Sixteen Sonoma”
2015 NASCAR Xfinity Series Race Fourteen Chicago
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!! Well, a day late, its time for the kids to race. The race was scheduled for Saturday night. Last night it rained about 30 minutes before the race was scheduled to begin. When coverage started the jet dryers were on the track. After about 10 minutes of watching them and listening to Adam Alexander, Mikey Waltrip and Larry McAlabama babble NASCAR postponed the race. Apparently there was a storm headed their way that stretched into Iowa. You could see lots of lightning in the distance. It was pretty, but as the National Weather Service warns, “If you can see lightning you’re too close.” Continue reading “2015 NASCAR Xfinity Series Race Fourteen Chicago”
2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Fifteen Michigan
Rain is coming and going for NASCAR. Last night’s Camping World Truck Series race at Gateway Motorsports Park was delayed for hours due to rain and track drying. This morning in Michigan the crews came on-air talking about it raining this morning. Again Race Day began with Myers, DW and Mikey, then kicked it to the Kenny Wallace and the sad excuses for broadcasters on the Race Day set. They seriously need to amp up the talent for NASCAR so it looks like FOX is taking NASCAR seriously, not just providing lip service to their contract. Kasey Kahne will lead the field to green today. Continue reading “2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Fifteen Michigan”
2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Fourteen Pocono
Interesting, they start Race Day with Chris Myers, DW and Mikey. The pit reporters have a round. They do a piece on Jimmie finding the little kid who gave him such an enthusiastic hug last week, then go to the Race Day crew. Very interesting. Lulled me into a false sense of comfort.
