"Trackside" from Bristol

Guest
For those with Speed, tonight at 7:00 ET.

Scheduled guests are Kurt Busch, Jimmie Johnson, and Winston Cup's latest winner Ricky Craven. Speking for myself, I enjoy this show more than most of the non-race programs.

Aside; Has anyone watched "Wind Tunnel" with Dave DeSpain? Have not caught it yet and wondered what folks thought of it.

I saw It...it was allright but not the greatest. They talk about NASCAR most of the time, which Is good for me, but most of the things that people ask, most NASCAR fans would already know.
 
Yeah i saw it!! Its alright!! Mostly NASCAR fans calll in but you can kinda tell that Dave does nto want to talk abotu NASCAR! The first show IMO Dave seemd to frown on NASCAR. And he seemd to not be as hostile towards NASCAR since then!!
 
Thanks for letting us know who will be on Speed tonight. I always look at that but WILL NOT tonight. You should not have told me that Busch was going to be on... :rolleyes:
 
Ya missed a good one! At least through the segment with Ricky and Kurt both on, I had to go out for a bit right after that, before JJ came on.

Ricky had a great line regards the Darlington race.

" I had some tires left (with about 10 to go), but I gotta tell ya this guy (Busch) is a great driver. It's distracting chasing down someone who is out of control!"

Overal the whole thing with the two of them was great, lots of fun! :D
 
yes it was pretty good!!! I got a look of DW's Weaties box for the first time on trackside. I figured they would have used a diffrent car with the sponsor blured out, either the Tide car or the Bud car but not the one i would have figured the '73 chevell #84 or was is #48?
 
I was wrong!! It was #95 :D

When DW broke into Winston Cup racing back in 1972 he drove cars he owned. They carried the number 95 and were sponsored by Terminal Transport. If I remember correctly in the beginning they were Mercury's and later switched to the Chevy as pictured.

I believe that picture is a representation of his 1975 car, the last year he ran that number before going to the Digard #88 machines.

I thought it was pretty good, Hobbs is one of the best guys you could have on a show like that. Some of the questions cracked me up though. Like the guy who stated that there is 7 min of racing and 4 min of commercials and then was cut off by a commercial break, haha. Then were the obvious questions like, a guy asked why F1 is so much safer than nascar, geez, come on buddy.
