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.

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.

He also picked up a new sponsor for this week’s race at Dover. Good times for good people. Continue reading “2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Thirteen Dover”
2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Twelve Charlotte
Of course, this is the motorsports’ fan’s dream weekend starting with the Monaco GP Formula 1 race, the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600. I’m looking forward to great action tomorrow. I didn’t do a blog entry for the All-Star Race though I watched it. It really wasn’t worth talking about. So this week the boys are still in Charlotte for the Coca-Cola 600 – the longest race of the year. I’m hoping it will be a good one. I considered going, but couldn’t quite work out the logistics. Maybe next year.
One bit of news from the week thrilled me – Jeff Gordon will be replacing Larry Mc in the FOX booth in 2016! I’m excited. Continue reading “2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Race Twelve Charlotte”
