Nobdody is bashing the episode, just stating that out of 8 Episodes...this is the least favorite. When they went to once a week, you kind of expect it to be not only longer but better with the additional time allowed for editing. I understand why the Nationwide & truck stuff was there, but I didn't think the quality of the piece belonged with the rest of the episode. I thought the "Redneck" Truck loving family was awful to add, most people who don't follow racing say "It's a bunch of rednecks running in circles!" I wish more corporate looking pieces were added like the TRD stuff. With Fortune 500 companies all over Nascar and their clients being wooed at corporate tents at every Nascar race, I didn't care for the "Truck Lovin' Redneck Family" image.

It's still a great series, very entertaining & informative, but seemed to lack what the other episodes before had. The highlights in every episode have been Robby, Gene, and the behind the scenes look at RGM. No big deal. Just an opinion. Rowdy does a great job.

I agree more red necks to the racin, reason they go to the truck racin is better racin plain and simple, more equal trucks, cheaper, beer same price, liked the 8th episode very much and we don't need jean all the time.

Head it on the head SC. Luxury suites, VIP packages, condos overlooking the track. NASCAR has developed a bad case of NFL envy.

Those Polo's and Tents keep forgeting who really keep this circus up and running....It is the grass roots families of NASCAR....Yes simple Country folk......Its real. Yes the Fan base has grown...But that is where its started and in many ways....its what keeps it going. Most,not all of those stuffy shirt people leave before the race is even over....Just look around and watch you'll see their cars leaving the parking lots while the race is still running........

I agree that RG needs to wear his seat belt.

In the heat of the battle, or in my case just trying to stay upright, I blurt out a lot of word strings not suitable for general consumption.

It just happens sometimes, not always the best times.

Sherri, the belt thing suprises me as well. Maybe because this State gives you a " BILL " for not wearing it.

Only state without a mandatory seat belt law (for adults) is NH. Just in case you need some trivia.

Does your job entail riding/driving a piece of equipment that can KILL you?
