Denny Hamlin's Short Track Showdown

It's so great watching a race with no commercial breaks every 5 laps , no 100 mentions of twitter , no 10 hours on the Danica wagon and no Waltrip brotherly lovefest ROTFLMAO

Congrats to Greg Edwards finishing 2nd. Nice to see some local boys up there racing with the "Cup Guys".

Yeah it was a great race too . Just goes to show NASCRAP CAN show a good race when they forget all the corporate bullshit .

Just wonder if it had more to do with it being on Speed channel than anything . They always have good coverage whether it's NASCRAP , F-1 , or whatever they cover .

I'd like to see Speed channel go back to the way they were when they started and get rid of the stupid shows like dumbest stuff on wheels , car warriors , and the other goofy shows . Cover the races no one seems to follow anymore . NTPA , SCORE , BITD , Demolition Derbies, Figure 8 , any pavement or dirt short track race ,. Stuff like that remember the old American Sports Calvacade shows or Wide World of Sports . Those WERE the good old days !

Like opening a window after being stuck in the house all winter with a cigar smoking bean eating old man who for the better part is a great human being and has a full throttle resume of lifes experience, however the only problem being "that was ten years ago" and we have heard it all already. The only problem I can see or hear I should say is TV coverage has to figure out a way to capture the sounds of the engines at the track when running at speed. Small scale race productions are so pleasing and fresh when the "tow line" is not attached.
Paying the bills with commercials is one thing but over production to create a product aimed at a certain fan base is another or is it a product created to attract a certain fan base, there's a difference and I don't know what the hell the "W" brothers are doing.............oh geez here's a circus ad in the paper now I get it.......they're clowns.
