"The Charlotte Observer is reporting that the Speed Channel will add a
Busch Grand National version of its popular "Inside Winston Cup" show to its lineup this year. The show will air on Wednesday nights before the rewind
of the weekend's Winston Cup race. Randy LaJoie and Hank Parker Jr. will be regular guests on the show, with a third panelist rotating each week. Allen Bestwick, who also hosts the Winston Cup show, will be the host"

<span style='color:darkblue'>I am hoping this will not replace Speed Channels "former champions" 1/2 hour seg that they had on before the race replay. I enjoyed that. I'm sure I will like this new show as well.</span>

"Hermie Sadler has landed a full-time Busch Series ride with Team Bristol Motorsports, NASCAR Winston Cup Scene reporter Rick Houston has learned. Sadler, a 33-year-old Emporia, Va., native, ran six Busch Series races and 10 Winston Cup events in 2002, while concentrating on his family and daughter, Halie Dru, who was diagnosed with autism in 2000. Sadler hasn't competed regularly on the Busch Series since 2000, when he made 16 starts for Innovative Motorsports owner George de Bidart. He has raced in the series since 1992 and has two career wins. Team Bristol Motorsports owner Rick Goodwin is expected to hire a crew chief in the next couple of days."

Go Hermie! My favorite of the Sadler brothers :)

"Chris Bingham will have a lot to prove when the ARCA RE/MAX Series rolls into Daytona International Speedway next month. Bingham's performance will determine whether or not the new driver for Jay Robinson Racing will compete in the NASCAR Busch Series opener in Daytona. NOTE: If NASCAR doesn't approve Bingham, Derrike Cope will be in the #49 car. "


This particular owner has no regard for any driver and Cope and Bignham would do well to look elsewhere. In the two previous seasons Robinson has fired/released no less than 5 drivers.

The owner of the 49 has a regard for drivers but he doesn't have a sponsor so he puts drivers in the car that can bring him money. He had a deal worked out for last season but the driver got into trouble in Daytona and wasn't available until those troubles were sorted out. He drove at Bristol but decided it wasn't where he wanted to be. (NASCAR agreed that he wasn't really ready for the Busch Series) Cope brought money and was set for the rest of the season when he was injured and that put an end to that deal. The other drivers that were in that car last season brought a little bit of money and that is why there were so many drivers. The team is underfunded and understaffed. Is it a great ride for either Bingham or Cope-no probably not but I dont' see teams lining up to hire either one of them in a better ride.
 
Thats cool for the BGN. I can't wait untill that show is on!! To bad I have class that night:(
I am glad Hermie got a full time ride!! I hope he wins and gets top 15 in points
 
If that 49 team wants to see any improvement in performance they need to concentrate on consistancy. They wont find that with a variety of drivers. They cant possibly believe that ANY driver with money enough for a couple rides is better than ONE driver with the determination and skills to make it work. 2 or 3 rides with one team is not enough for the driver or team to know if it is going to improve and it is not fair to either party. Tim Sauter managed to make it the entire season last year just by driving his guts out and working hard to make sure the purse they earned was enough to cover the bills for that and the next race. No sponsor money at all for that team yet he finished inside the top 15 in the points. Jay Robinson needs to make a committment to one driver and ONE driver needs to make a committment to Robinson and his team, then we will see what they can do! I dont think he is willing....he is after that allmighty dollar and nothing more. I would be willing to bet that if Bingham is a backmarker for the first 3-4 races that he will be released, Robinson has not ever given a driver a fair shake, not yet anyway.
