Nationwide race pushed to ESPN Classic
For those fans wanting to tune in to tonight's Nationwide race from Richmond, I hope you have ESPN Classic. The race was originally scheduled to air on ESPN2, but because of NBA playoffs, it's been pushed to ESPN Classic and ESPN360.com. For those that don't have ESPN Classic on their cable or satellite service, the race is suppose to be shown in it's entirety (although recorded) after the playoff game.
NASCAR fans use to love ESPN for their coverage of NASCAR races and thought that when they started airing races again, it would improve coverage, unfortunately, ESPN cares more about other sports fans and NASCAR fans are not happy about it. In this case, NASCAR fans are being pushed aside to accommodate basketball fans, ESPN use to care about their NASCAR fans, obviously other things are more important and there is really nothing fans can do about it.
For those of you fans that had plans and were planning on recording the race, set it to record it on ESPN Classic at 7 PM ET instead of ESPN2. Fans that don't have ESPN Classic, but have ESPN2 will have to wait until after the basketball game to see the race.

Fan #5, that was NOT short track racing, it was hooliganism. You race each other but you don't wreck each other. Period.
Keith, you didn't answer the question. I ask again - who is the one who can't help himself, the one commenting on Senior or the ones who keep carrying his torch?
Posted by: Mike Daly | May 4, 2008 2:34:14 PM
Had to chime in prior to ROCK time...
I knew this was coming and I really think GraceAnn said it in a great way..
Jon, Not a shot at you and you know it but...Anything Kyle would do he will be hated.. He is liked by some, hated by some.
Steven W tapped him first and even said that.Kyle got him back, then coming off the track Steven hit him again. Had Kyle punched him in the face I would get this, he didnt.Steven grabbed his helmet.
I get confused on things, we walked by the Jr interview and were all listening.One minute he was being raced hard for the win, the end he was wrecked?????
2 Laps at RIR to go its not "okay please win"
Stood there the night Sr dumped and I do mean literally dumped Terry L at Bristol.. That wasnt deliberate? Hell from a Sr fan to another one we know it was.
But I notice it became a "huge thing" because its Jr and "the drought"..Had this been done in reverse it would be a "woo hoo for Jr."
Not trashing a soul involved here or in it, but he didnt hit the bumper and was going for the win.
Lighter note:
glad to see a wonderful performance by the 26, 42, and the 48...
Solid night for RCR, and JGR.. Hands downand I hate to say it.the 11 was freaking stout..
Congrats Gil and the boys...
There is one person whom should have got his ass beat last night (NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THIS)..MIKEY (sorry ENATION).Casey Mears have every right to go slap the hell out of him. Glad NASCAR parked him and his hair.

What happened on the track was probably just a racing deal. I would have preferred it to happen on the final lap instead of with 3 to go. Kyle was better than Jr. and most likely could have passed him cleanly if he had been a little more patient. But again it was a racing deal.
What I have a problem with is some of Kyle's comments after the race. Here are just a couple of the things he said:
“I just went out there and I drive a race car,” Busch said. “And, you know, when I make mistakes, certain people have to pay for them, and unfortunately today, the No. 88 (Hendrick team), they have to pay for it.” "But I'll say it again, it's just unfortunate circumstances for him because he didn't get a win, and for me because now I've got to put up with it.”
Kyle's right, when he makes mistakes, SOMEONE ELSE PAYS FOR THEM - usually not him. And I feel really sorry for Kyle (insert sarcasm here) because now he "HAS TO PUT UP WITH IT".
Sorry K2 and other KyB fans. I really am trying to like him. He's so much fun to watch on the track, but he needs an attitude adjustment off the track.

Graceann,
I understand where you are coming from, but I cannot blame the media or even DW for Kyle Busch's aggressive driving or his totall disregard for his fellow competitors just to win a race. As far as changing my hatred for Gordon and direct it toward Kyle Busch, I don't need to change anything, I will just hate them both. :)
Posted by: Jon | May 4, 2008 10:25:50 AM
I know you guys are furious after the race last night, and I would be to if it happened to my driver. Yea KB is all you guys say and then some but its not all his fault. Hear me out before you start screaming. Since the start of the season they have been comparing him and Jr. Which owner got the better driver? When is Jr gonna win? Is Kyle the next Intimidator? Waltrip all but kisses the ground KB walks on in the booth at every race, (except when he couldn't talk). The media has inflated his ego to size of Everest and this kid thinks he is the best to ever hit a track. He may be in years to come, if he ever develops a personality to go with it. The media has caused him to get worse than he was and by what happened last night his ego is only going to get bigger. I was listening to KK on the scanner and nothing was said at all, complete silence. Almost eery. It will be interesting to hear comments from the other drivers on this incident and see if the fans change their hatred from JG to KB.
Posted by: Graceann | May 4, 2008 10:18:47 AM
Kyle Busch is just proving all of his detractors right, he is overly aggressive, arrogant and totally disrespective of his fellow drivers. He goes after Steven Wallace on Friday night and claimed he was trying to teach him something. Then he takes out Dale Earnhardt Jr. who was on the verge of finally ending his winless streak and then act like it wasn't a big deal.
My biggest problem with Kyle Busch is that he is so arrogant that he won't even consider the consequenses of his aggressive driving.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. had the lead and he gave Kyle Bush the lower two thirds of the corner and still that wasn't enough for Kyle Busch, he went into the corner too hard (imagine that) and got loose and went right into the side of Jr. car and spun him. Am I saying Kyle Busch intentionally spun Jr, of course not, but what I am saying is that he needs to tone down his aggressive style and realize that his competitors deserve the same shot at winning races. He ended up in second just like he should have finished before he caused Dale Earnhardt Jr. to spin and finish 15th.
I decided to wait until this morning to comment after I calmed down after watching the race last night.
Posted by: Jon | May 4, 2008 9:58:02 AM
Well it looks like NASCAR's got it's bad boy now. Kyle wants to whup up on Steve W so long as Steve stays in his car and one day later, wrecks the marquee driver of the sport whose about to win his first race in over two years, Junior, then Kyle doesn't stop there but proceeds to diss Junior's fans.
Didn't someone a while back state something about no emotionating or passionating going on in this sport?
Let the drama begin.
Posted by: Jon2 | May 4, 2008 8:58:09 AM
Excruiating Senseless Pain (in) Neck (ESPN)screwed me... and they did not bring Vaseoline... brain francine must have given them an open ended contract... if a contract or maybe just an open season to do what they wish..... i have had it with the pain in my neck.... 'bout had it with CRAPCAR..... be safe all...
Posted by: RCR29 | May 4, 2008 4:35:09 AM
aggie, damned right I'm serious. I'll bet a lot of people here want to call Kyle Busch II about now, because that was a Senior move though and through.
whatever.
ky is a total piece of shit.
i'm betting half the field could drive like the little turd.
really, at their skill level is it that hard to run it off in the corner way too fast, slam into another car, and wobble off down the back straight ??
for some reason they choose not to wreck several cars or trucks every race.
i agree with toblunt. kyle's day is comming. and it ain't gonna be pretty.
Posted by: exile | May 4, 2008 3:31:11 AM
I missed the race but have read about it as much as could. It seems like KYB is up to the same old stuff. I will fully admit that he is a heck of a driver. I just believe that the rope he is hanging from is every so slowly tightening. I have to agree that he may be using his mulligans up. Hopefully I will miss the race when he wraps his car around someone or something and severly hurts himself or others or both. Yes, he is a great driver but I think he is on borrowed time because I think he is really close to his own personal "Big One".
Posted by: toblunt | May 4, 2008 12:52:40 AM
#5,
We might have to disagree on that. A racing incident, for sure. But, I'm pretty sure that Busch is using up his mulligans.
Posted by: Keith | May 4, 2008 12:38:42 AM
Daly,
You just can't help yourself...You have to comment on Sr.
Posted by: Keith | May 4, 2008 12:30:56 AM
Mike Daly, THAT was short track racing...no if's and's or but's...I'm sure the Jr Nation sound like the Mormon Tabarnacal Choir passing judgement on Busch...To me it was Good Hard Charging racing...Checker's or Wreckers I say!
Posted by: Fan #5 | May 4, 2008 12:28:24 AM
Diane, Brock Yates put it best in 1987 - "(ESPN's) reputation for lowball production values has diminished, not enhanced, the appeal of motorsports." They sucked in the day and they suck now.
Posted by: Mike Daly | May 4, 2008 12:05:45 AM
aggie, damned right I'm serious. I'll bet a lot of people here want to call Kyle Busch Jack Tataum II about now, because that was a Senior move though and through.
BTW aggie, I used to see a regular with the Hartford Wolfpack who sounds like that Richards you describe - he was Martin Grenier and he was alwas soiling for ugly hits and fights.
Fan #5, so you're a fan of a bully. I guess you don't qualify for the human race anymore.
BTW Keith, who owns whom here? Others keep up the pathetic tributes to Senior; I just point out he's not deserving of the tributes. So who owns whom? The one pointing out what he doesn't deserve, or the ones who obsessively carry his torch?
If Labonte has signed his contract with Petty (I haven't seen that story at the time of this writing), is anyone suprised? He was not going to leave a team with which he's a better fit to go to a high-strung outfit like RCR.
Posted by: Mike Daly | May 4, 2008 12:00:38 AM
Keith - No problem. I thought maybe you were questioning that he had the illness. And I got the joke. :)

Beer...........Bed..............the ROCK!
Posted by: DJ | May 3, 2008 11:41:01 PM
#5,
Daly can't help himself. He has to comment on Sr. Sr. owns this guy. It's almost pathetic. Put Sr. in a sentence, and he has to comment. No reason; no rhyme. If Sr. is in the sentence he will comment. What's that phrase??? Sr. owns Daly.
Posted by: Keith | May 3, 2008 10:21:12 PM
Diane,
I was making light of NASCAR trying to implement a penalty. In no way did I mean to take away from, or demean a valid illness. Forgive me?
Posted by: Keith | May 3, 2008 10:16:08 PM
Bobby LaBonte has signed his contract
with Richard Petty so he won't be going
to RCR.
Posted by: Race Fan | May 3, 2008 5:48:04 PM
K2 Good Luck 2nite...nevermind Daly he exhuberantly loathes Dale Earnhardt...and after watching Kyle last night I'm a certified Kyle Busch fan, Some can complain about his attitude, or being a spoiled rich kid...but facts are facts, and Speed is money...the only "kid" I can think of who came out of nowhere is Clint Boyer...If I where Clint I would have hung up on Richard thinking it was somebody F'n with me...Thank God he didn't
I'm predicting Harvicl to win!

Posted by: aggie | May 3, 2008 4:53:13 PM
K2 - Enjoy the weather and have a great race tonight. I think a lot of people have already warmed up to Kurt. He's earned a lot of respect the last couple of years IMO. If Kyle works at it, he can do the same.
Posted by: Diane | May 3, 2008 4:50:25 PM
Aggie,
So much for the Bobby L running from PE..
Too funny.. no you got Smoke there.
You can welcome UPS drive Carl Edwards soon:)

Posted by: aggie | May 3, 2008 4:37:02 PM
j - I agree. If ESPN contracted to broadcast all NNS races on ESPN2, then that's where the race should have been broadcast. But NASCAR's contract may not have been that specific. If not, shame on NASCAR as millions of cable subscribers do not get ESPN News or Classic. Thank goodness I have SPEED. I also agree that the playoff game probably has more fans.
Mike Daly - I must disagree with you about ESPN's race coverage back in the day. IMHO Parsons, Jenkins and Jarrett were by far better than some of the clowns we have in the broadcast booth now. Again, JMO. I also can't fault ESPN for being a little slower in coming up to par with CBS's techs. CBS had been in the broadcasting business for over 50 years before ESPN began broadcasting. BUT I think the ESPN coverage today is not up to par. They need a director who is a race fan and who knows what the fans want to see.
Posted by: Diane | May 3, 2008 1:27:58 PM
Who was first contracted to that time slot by ESPN? Common sense tells us that life is change and the number of playoff games in anything but THE CHASE cannot be determined ahead of time. However, if the contract with NASCAR for that date and time was the first, fairness dictates that the playoff game coverage should have been the one shifted. Maybe all racing should be shown on SPEED. They are the only ones that put racing first. How long in advance was the switch in broadcast known and publicized? I pull up "That's Racin" almost every evening, and I found out the night before the race, and our newspapers still listed the channel as ESPN2 on Friday morning. It seems in our day of instant communication there would be no problem in getting this information out in a timely manner provided those making the change do their part.
One other thing....what has happened to the Favorite Driver Poll? It is gone from the "That's Racin" home page.
Posted by: j | May 3, 2008 1:11:20 PM
Kurt2, there's nothing to miss from Senior - he was Jack Tatum in a racecar. Kyle Busch may be all that and them some as a racer, but he has to change his entire attitude and approach before he can earn any respect.
Posted by: Mike Daly | May 3, 2008 12:52:47 PM
I can't blame ESPN for pushing the BGN race in favor of playoff basketball - the Celtics game was more compelling competition than the BGN series usually provides. And that's an indictment of what NASCAR has degenerated to.
I don't get why people ever thought ESPN was all that good at race coverage. In their heyday they were always well behind CBS/World Sports Ent. in implementing good broadcasting innovations like in-car cameras (CBS had a stationary one in Benny Parsons' car at Daytona in 1979 and the rotating one beginning in 1981; ESPN didn't have in-car cams until 1985) and continuous full-field rundowns (World Sports broadcasts started them in 1995, CBS adopted them in 1997, ESPN waited until 1999-2000). ESPN's announcers were usually dull - Benny Parsons was good for one year (1989) and then trailed off; Bob Jenkins was laughable; Ned Jarrett was okay but was allowed more of a command of the broadcast on CBS than on ESPN; the pit announcers tended to make themselves more important than what they were covering.
ESPN was never all that hot at racecasting and they shouldn't have come back.

Keith - Here's a link to a story about both Steve and Kenny Wallace and Tourette Syndrome:
http://www.cawsnjaws.com/article/249/now-that-kenny-and-steve-wallace-have-let-the-tourette-syndrome-cat-out-of-the-bag
Posted by: Diane | May 3, 2008 12:43:21 PM
Diane,
LOL, and how kewl would interviews be if a driver had a diagnosed case of tourette's syndrome? I mean if it's medically proven you'd be hard pressed to fine the guy.
Posted by: Keith | May 3, 2008 12:32:20 PM
Keith - I think the reason Steve Wallace doesn't do well in interviews is because he has a moderate case of Tourette Syndrome. Also, with a dad like Rusty, the kid has got to be nervous as hell trying to live up to Rusty's standards.
K2 - I also liked what Petty did with Hamlin but didn't like what Busch did with Wallace. The reason is that Petty is a veteran who was trying to teach a young driver a lesson. Busch was getting on Wallace for something Busch does himself on a fairly regular basis. I'm trying really hard to be a KyB fan, but if he can't take what he gives out, I'm going to have a hard time with it. I hope eventually his mental attitude will catch up with his amazing driving talent. Funny that I'm saying this since I'm a Smoke fan. LOL.
Posted by: Diane | May 3, 2008 12:19:31 PM
yo k2...
i like kevin, always did.
it's kool how he has progressed throught the years.
i wonder where ky will be in 5 years.
will he be kurt or kevin ??
it must be kinda weird to be very young, very rich, and very disliked.
Posted by: exile | May 3, 2008 12:13:52 PM
i remember a story in the media about kyle.
when he was in high school he had an assignment to write about his summer job and what it taught him, life lessons, etc.
the point was kyle went racing that summer and made more money in 3 months than his teacher did all year long.
bottom line, have kyle and kurt "worked" for their money ??
actually, the point is, they are rich, live in their own little world, and don't care what you or i think about them.
or as tim richmond's cousin told me when i said it would have been interesting to talk to him...
"he wouldn't talk to someone like you."
lol. i'm not upper class rich.
so, months later when his parents came through town, she asked me if i wanted to meet them.
my answer... ummm, no.
Posted by: exile | May 3, 2008 12:03:53 PM
"
Kurt2,
I know you are a friend of Kyle Busch, but come on, how can you blame Steven Wallace for his reaction to what Kyle Busch did. He is lucky he didn't get a fist from Wallace instead of just getting his helmets grabbed.
So I am just making a big deal about it because it is Kyle Busch, how funny.
You are making it seem like Kyle can never do anything wrong. Why it is it a racing deal when Busch does something on the track, but when it happens to him he is perfectly justified to go after another driver afyer the race.
Posted by: Jon | May 3, 2008 8:46:19 AM"
True, cant deny that I am friends with the Busch brothers, Harvick, and Robby..
I can "sorta" see where you are coming from , truly I can.. BUT NO ONE that has slammed Kyle on this has yet to address the Denny and Kyle Petty issue....
Shit that was in the garage last year,PARKED..I took Kyle Pettys side on it..Maybe I enjoy the "aggressive"end..
Kyle was hit by Steven, Kyle returned the favor, and then walked over to talk to him. Was it a G rated conversaion? hell no. But he never touched Steven period..Like last year with Kyle Petty , it takes balls to sit, and grab a helmet in a car.
Kinda of like Kathy said "welcome to RIR", I agree there as well..really I do
Exile, and most we are going to disagree on this and I am okay with it. Always have been.But Kyle B has the same F'U attitude Kevin had for MANY MANY YEARS. Has Kev calmed down? Oh hell yes, but be warned it is still there.Dont discount the temper doesnt exist..
I cant fault anyone here (well minus a few FS) that Kyle is aggressive, a damn good racer and has a attitude...
I remember real well when a certain person came up and slammed the 97 door to door for hitting Jr.... he let him know he saw it and didnt like it.. He was pissed and NO ONE CAN SAY NOT A AGGRESSIVE DRIVER...
His name was Dale Earnhardt Sr...
Sorry maybe the personal knowing thing takes effect, or the fact that I was fortunate enought to know the Sr off the track as well... Peas in a Pod..
Last lap, Sr would wreck anyone, anytime and anyhow..Miss that man each time the shits hits the fan..
Exile.. I can take the 500 on Kyle buddy and loved the Goverment joke on Vets.. Not mocking it, its freaking sad as hell but true.
Just lost with Stevens comment" he gets booed" last night.. Sr always said, "hell I get booed the loudest and I doent give a shit, that means at least they know I am here"
Aggie, the goats are looking for you... Kenny is nothing like the rest of the brothers in that family. Rusty has chilled somewhat these days, and thats a compliment..
Maybe , just maybe JOM gets to meet the wall tonight courtesy of Paul Menard:)
That was from me and would be ahighlight of the night..
The Rheem car was stout last night as well.. Damn good job for many whom "subbed on KHI's car....
You all be good.. heading in now.. Be safe..
DJ, tommorrow is on thus far, gotta head to see the "flying man" when I get in. No way in hell I am missing that occasion.. THE ROCK IS BACK.. Great job Andy H.. Great job..FYI a few more "people " are heading in for the Grand opening"
Posted by: Kurt2 | May 3, 2008 11:57:41 AM
k2
had justification as well to go "have a chat"..
here off some site
But the prize for post-race theatrics goes to Steven Wallace and Kyle Busch.
Busch, who at one point was a lap down, came all the way back to third on a final green/white checkered finish. That's when he got tapped from behind by Wallace.
Busch finished third but didn't much appreciate the contact so he went up to Wallace after the race and told him "when you mess with the bull you get the horns."
ok the guycame from a lap down busting his ass for a win and then this lil puke comes up to tap him and tries to f k up his run???????? Kyb was giving the lil prick some friendly advice
and
yes your right
had justification as well to go "have a chat"..
KYB right now with the boos is like a heel in wrestling waiting to turn into the good guy/baby face lol wallace is just going to be a rich spoiled pain in the ass lil kid for his carreer
think about it, you have a guy kyb busting his ass in 3 divisions racing his heart out and then some lil puke doing this shit to get some TV time.....SW couldn't carry kyb's jock strap as we say in hockey
kyb should have reached in car and popped sw with 2 rights and walked away
another thing SW said about kyb getting booed what a cheap shot, the lil idot should know that at some time and tracks all drievrs get booed just as the 24-48 at dega or smoke or sr .........fan love hate you and turn on you through out yoru carrer, keep it up u lil puke and the only 3 fans uw ill have will be mom and dad, kw
Posted by: aggie | May 3, 2008 11:57:38 AM
i don't know anything about steven wallace because i don't pay attention to him.
it must kinda suck to have a dad who enjoyed a long career in nascar while you are mostly a mid pack guy.
but, it beats having a dad who has a blue collar job and you have to work 50 hours a week.
anyway...
kyle busch can sure jump backwards quickly.

the world i hear is going to be watching how u guys in NC vote next week so iam told in the media
macain still looks wayway over-chicked with his wife, thank god his mom is around that way he looks younger besides her.
Posted by: aggie | May 3, 2008 11:39:26 AM
Kat,
Kyle is much too young and immature to be telling anyone what is and isn't proper. A Mark Martin, you listen to; a Tony Stewart, you listen to; etc. etc. they are the seasoned vets with experience. Busch, as someone noted, is a legend in his own mind. But, to his credit, he's young and will have time to mature and work on his people skills.
I think Steven is looking better out there. I didn't see his interview because I went back to the playoff game, but I hope he's gotten better at that also. The boy couldn't interview his way out of a paper bag, previously. I couldn't see him as the son of the man who never stops talking. Maybe, he rode the short bus to interview school. But, if Busch challenged him I'd say bring it on. What's he gonna do ear slap him to death?

their both lil spoiled brats so let em have it out like lil kids at recess, sw with his dad $$$ and euipment would not be in the series, the kid is a Loser with a capitil L on his forehead
as far as rusty and the kid welllll............the apples dont fall from the tree and ......not all the fruit is fruitful from the tree it falls from
iam not a fan in racing or in life of spoiled arrogant silver spoon kids or lucky sperm kids, i got no problem with guys who come from $$$ and the background like chris long, marco a and still work their ass off
i have no use for either one of them rusty on tv is about a 4 out 10 even kenny is too over the top for me, iam a jeff hamond fan schrader when he was one and calling the race it dont matter much to be as i listen to teh clour guys more
Posted by: aggie | May 3, 2008 11:33:59 AM
Kathy,I know we talked about it, what is your take on the Steven thing????? He hasnt proven a thing IMO, and know he is a "seasoned driver"??? You know its not a shot but you get to hear TV with Rusty and I dont..
I don't think Steven will have a career like his father. He's a bit too aggressive out there at times and he can't see to perform well unless the car is perfect. If the car isn't good, he can't seem to communicate to the crew chief and crew what needs to be done to make it better. As a fan of Rusty, it's sad to say he won't be like his father and I don't really see him in Cup.
As far as the him and Kyle issue. I really don't know why people are making a big deal about it, it's Richmond, tempers will flare. I will say if it didn't matter to Kyle (as he said he wasn't going for points like Steven, I don't know why he got mad about it, it's not as if he's never bumped into anyone on the track, as many drivers have in the final laps of a race. No one wrecked, so I guess I don't see why either one of them should be mad at each other, that is as far as the race goes.

Kurt2,
I know you are a friend of Kyle Busch, but come on, how can you blame Steven Wallace for his reaction to what Kyle Busch did. He is lucky he didn't get a fist from Wallace instead of just getting his helmets grabbed.
So I am just making a big deal about it because it is Kyle Busch, how funny.
You are making it seem like Kyle can never do anything wrong. Why it is it a racing deal when Busch does something on the track, but when it happens to him he is perfectly justified to go after another driver afyer the race.

He leaned into his window no hands and was speaking..
I see nothing different than what went down with Kyle P and Denny last year.But then Kyle P had justification as well to go "have a chat"..
I had some feeling though this would different naturally since his last name is Busch than say Petty and Denny.. Only based on last name..
I see at least some of you could understand what Steven said last night, hell I couldnt as usual..

k2
but she has had a hard ass road.
i did see the word HAD & ROAD in the sentence and iam thinking geeez dont tell me he was looking at her (__/__) LOL
k2 one thinh about mindy her song
"guys do it all the time" really fits in
to all this!!
good to see your alive and think teh same of SW as u do, i am sure U like me have no use for the kid!! or his dad
KYB would bitch slap the lil puke right across the mason dixon line
wallace is just the classic rich spoiled kid........so is kyb in some ways BUT kyb will out drive the lil wallace puke all day long.......chrissey is going to be the media darling in that family
goats are good here still cold and cant wait for tomorrow nite if all goes well the 3 rcr cars should be top ten!!! 1-2-3 would be cool, 07 a win maybe??? 07& 31 crews will give their cars error free stops so unless the guys get hit all 3 rcr cars look good, the 29 might be on his hot week/track
the 11 love em or hate him kid sure is consistant, and like i said jr its now or tona for win, next tracks arent his at all
should be a great duel between rcr and jgr and the 2 hms cars, i think its going to be 2 team mates fighting for the win
