I tried to like that post some more but I couldn't.
The Toyota was brought up on Moody's show last week I believe. He shot it down pretty quickly. Caller was trying to say that it was going to have an unfair advantage down force wise and Moody wasn't having it. He went on about how it was tested in the wind tunnel and that NASCAR and all the other manufacturers signed off on it. That all the information was shown to Ford and Chevy.
I didn't mind Pete's comment because Allen was being obnoxious like he knew better. Especially when he kept bringing up Chocolate like his opinion mattered above all.
Well, those suits are the ones that sign their checks. So there's that.You cannot go against the grain at all with these people because they don't know how to respond to it. And because they don't want to upset the suits.
Do their checks say NASCAR?Well, those suits are the ones that sign their checks. So there's that.
Most of them say MRN I'd imagine. Now, I wonder who controls MRN? Let me think.Do their checks say NASCAR?
All I'm saying is, NASCAR employees or not, it's OK to have your own opinions. Simple odds say that there's no possible way that all of their on air talent agrees with every single move NASCAR makes. And the fact that they try and fool the listener into believing that they do is insulting.Most of them say MRN I'd imagine. Now, I wonder who controls MRN? Let me think.
Maybe Hoda will host the co-host with Dave in the afternoon?Dear God....The NASCAR Radio "talent" is already starting to gloat. This is going to be a tough day for @Revman. Would give anything for an announcement later today regarding a "reorganization" of the show schedule, "talent," and production.

Moody reaching out to the 3-month old race fan.The NMPA Broadcaster of the Year, Dave Moody, just said that there are fans who weren't even alive the last time Chevy didn't win the Manufacturers Title. Then, that would mean they were dead last year. Outstanding work as always. Like DW says, "Do what you know." Apparently, that's not much.
And what the hell is wrong with that, exactly.Given the average age of the NASCAR fan, there are probably some who remember when Hudson won their last manufacturer's championship.
I enjoyed the fruitless chatter yesterday about the headset Mike had to return and the Cubs season tickets that Pete has to stressfully divvy up with his boys every year.Oh joy...Hall of Fame discussion day. Can't wait for Moody's annual dissertation of what it is like to be on the voting panel. Queue cheesy MRN dramatic background music, a narrative on the brotherhood in the room, and the emotional depletion that results from such an impossible decision. Mike and Pete have us off to a fabulous start talking about nothing.....at least we aren't talking about Christmas pies.

Here's the thing people seem to miss about radio talk shows, it's entertainment they aren't going to spend 4 hours a day breaking down aero numbers from Toyota vs chevy while seeing what raising the track bar 1/32nd of an inch does.
All of the shows outside of the morning time fools have no problem filling their slots with NASCAR related talk. If they ever drift away from it it's for maybe a minute or two.Here's the thing people seem to miss about radio talk shows, it's entertainment they aren't going to spend 4 hours a day breaking down aero numbers from Toyota vs chevy while seeing what raising the track bar 1/32nd of an inch does.

These niche channels are niche channels for a reason. There are other channels that are aimed at entertaining. Guarantee if I flip to the golf channel they aren't going to be talking about their trip home thru the airport and what they had for dinner.
In the sports I follow there are always things happening within the season that can be discussed such as match ups, injuries, trades, schedule, slumps, individual players, rumors, highlights and things of that nature. In the off season you have things like free agency and the draft so at least in my mind there are a myriad of topics that can be discussed.
For the life of me I can't think about a ton of things that could be discussed about Nascar and that is primarily due to there being so few moving parts compared to the sports I follow. I thought Atlanta was a really good race but what is there to talk about? The boneheaded move by Harvick that likely cost him a win? JJ deciding to take himself off the lead lap due to being a triple bonehead? Good runs by some of the lesser lights? I respect that there are many, many things people enjoy about Nascar radio but I don't see it myself.
How ya gonna get your Claire B fix?Decided to take a break from NASCAR Radio for the past two weeks. I haven't even listened to a single second of it. I found out that I haven't missed it. Well, not that much. It became a habit more than anything when it comes to listening to the channel. I think I'm going to be canceling it soon. I can spend my money elsewhere.
Oh, I still follow everyone on Twitter. There's no shortage of NASCAR news there.How ya gonna get your Claire B fix?

That's been my only means of hearing anything NASCAR related too. They don't cover the sport here. Nobody calls into the local sports shows with anything NASCAR related.I have considered this repeatedly. Problem is that this channel is the only way I get NASCAR on radio where I live.....However, I have stopped listening to the dude with the wife who gardens in a bikini during my lunch hour because he simply never addresses NASCAR during that time. Never. Talks stupid sh!t with his producer. Done with that. I am hanging on because I think Gille is exceptional, and Pat Patterson in the mornings on weekends is great. I like Claire B., but the Chasing Elliott and Smithfield Amirola feels like eighth grade productions. Really wish that PRN would do all of the race broadcasts.
