The show Inside Nextel Cup was one of the primary reasons I got the Speed Channel many years ago. I would hear Lady S and Lady N talking about the silly stuff that goes on as well as some insight into the world of racing. While I've enjoyed the show I've enjoyed the personalities more. It's kind of like Star Trek. I was never a fan of the new one. Yep, it was the same show but Captain Kirk, Spock and Bones weren't there. You could say I only liked the show because of them and well.....you would be right! Now they are starting to mess with the NASCAR shows. I refuse to watch NASCAR Nation any more. It's just a bunch of Entertainment Tonight fluff with racing. I don't care to watch scantily clad women leading a show about a subject that is dear to my heart. Somehow I just can't picture them having a 12 hour day at the track and still being refreshed. Unless they are in a suite. Now with Inside Nextel Cup there will be driver changes and poor Allen, I mean really, poor Allen! First they take you from the booth (note to self: don't break any bones!) where you are lousy on the pit road and now they are taking you from the show that you host. Humm, Allen, start sprucing up your resume. Soon the only job you will have is outside the infield care center. NASCAR fans can adapt to changes but please! There have been so many changes in the last three years. Will you quit it already!
