It says that there will be 16 races I thought there is only fourteen on the schedule right now, Am I mistaken or did they just let the cat out of the bag. also I thought since they moved Monterrey back to Sunday there was going to be a problem with the TV I guess they worked that out.

I like John Beekhuis and Calvin Fish, they will do a good job in the pits. I personally can't stand Derek Daly, he annoys the crap out of me, and the way he conducts interviews with the drivers sometimes after the races really irks me. Benjamin did a pretty good job last year actuallly. I would really like to get Bob Varsha back, but that won't happen. OWRS should try to hit up Jeremy Shaw for a job doing some sort of commentating. He is extremely knowledgeable and a great guy to talk to.

No more Tommy Kendall????
I feel like he explained the sport better than any of the others. Pretty funny guy, too. |

Yeah Kendall was cool, but he did come off as arrogant. I like Daly better. Personally, I get the feeling that Daly is someone you can easily strike up a conversation with. Kendall seems like you have to really know him to talk to him.
I dunno... that's the vibe that I get |

Sorry about that for some reason I thought that it said eight races will be broadcasted on Network TV and Eight On Speed Channel. I guess the human body does need some sleep.

Man I hate Daly! He provides no usefull insight and is patronizing and annoying. "See those round black things on the car? Those are called tires." And then he'll go on for 5 mins on trivial details without scratching beyond the surface.

You know what? What really needs to happen is to not just have announcers who know Champ Car, but people who can convey their love and passion for Champ Car. I feel that if that the announcers show that, then it'll catch on with the TV audience, and will lure new people as well.

I still don't understand why they don't bring back Parker Johnstone. He was the best. Oh well, the line up they have is good... could be a lot worse. |

Although I liked Tommy Kendall a lot in the booth, TK and Benjamin had a lot of awkward dead air last season. It seemed like TK just couldn't find his rhythm like he could with the Speed crew the previous season.

Derek Daly is a nice guy and makes decent observations, but I cannot stand to listen to him for 2 hours each race. That accent is just too much. He sounds just like my doctor (yes, he's Irish - also a nice guy though).
