Ray has been off the pitbox for awhile and behind - what - three generations of car? He's not anywhere near ready to be back on the box.

He is one of the greatest crew chiefs of all time, its not like he has never even seen one of the new cars before, I am sure he would do fine if given a year to learn, then when Letarte leaves in 2015, Ray could jump in.

Then Richard Petty should be able to climb into a Gen 6 car and win another championship? Nope. I'm not saying he couldn't.. but to act like he's ready to jump back on the box for Dale (or whomever) in 2015 and lead them to multiple championships is quite a stretch. This sport is ten times different than it was during Ray's hay-day. It's the same for drivers. You can't expect the same successes.

I've been thinking randomly and I just can't see Steve Letarte as a TV announcer for NBC. Listening to him talk, he seems like he'd be better as a guest commentator. Are they sure we can't get Wally?

Gray Gaulding's ride for 8 races this season. Another one of those "daddy's money" racers.

If he wants to work, and doesn't have an agreement in place by the end of the run for ESPN, he won't be out of a job long.

Ron Hornaday and Brandon Jones to split a truck ride at Turner for 2014.
Tayler Malsam and Ben Kennedy will run full time in Trucks for Turner.

And looking at who worked NBC before they lost the coverage following the 2006 season, alot of them went to ESPN so don't be surprised if some familiar names show up.

I wonder if FOX remembers that we're not in the late 90s/early 00s with that new ticker. The other graphics are nice, but that ticker can go away.

Lets hope thats just for practice. Lineups should be small and simple across the top of the screen. I HATED TNT when they had the Coke 400 and 1/3 of the screen was a Coke Zero ad the entire time with the line up ticker on the side of it.

I HATE that the Unlimited is on FS1. I don't get that channel here, it's part of Dish's premium sports package. It took over Speed Channel and Speed was part of the basic lineup. Why the f*** couldn't FS1 be on the basic lineup too?
