Never had that problem here. I'm with a SMALL ISP, but FS1 and SPEED were/are the same channel. If you're being cheated of that on, that's on your ISP. Sic em! Mine moved it DOWN the channel list and out of the upper echelon. Can't speak to NBCSN, I have it, but they have never heard of MAVTV. Every one is different.

I don't either. I'm an old Earnhardt fan... the original. He always held that he would NOT do burnouts as Richard would have to pick up the check. Today's kiddies think they are entitled to do whatever they want because they are the greatest that ever was. No, they are not!

I do not like burnouts

In several cases I'm aware of, OWNERS used to forbid burnouts! That was in the time when sponsorship didn't pay all the bills and more. Owners had to care about that car they paid for!

We've all had long conversations on that. I called out Mike Joy last year, which I hated to do, but he made up a story about Kulwicki doing the Polish Victory Lap at Bristol. I KNEW that didn't happen in my lifetime and wrote about it. Folks sent him my column. He came to my site and told me he was mistaken, but that Alan had done it at ALL his other victories. Nope! Not even close! He only won 5 Cup races in his short career. He did the lap at his first win, at Phoenix. NASCAR had a fit and told him not to do it again. Being Alan, he said OK, he wouldn't do it again until he won a Championship. He did that in 1992, though he didn't win the race. He finished second to Bill Elliott at the finale at Atlanta, but took the Championship on the strength of having led the most laps... by ONE. Mike HAS to know that, but chose to lie. He lost a multitude of points in my book that day.

You can tell a lot of the reporters don't have a clue about what they are talking about

I doubt he's ever been behind the wheel of a race car. He just writes about the ones that do. So do I but I'm a lot kinder... and honest

This guy is getting paid big bucks and ferried by air to races. I donate everything I do or write because I love racing and its fans.

I don't think they run them that far back today. You were closer I think with 3 years. 12 doesn't seem "Late" now. Of course, we make more cars today...

Thanks Richard. Knew I wasn't crazy, but I do get weary of being talked down to by the kiddies.

Heck, he might be 40. It was Matt Weaver from Autoweek! That is what we've entrusted our history to and they don't even know our present/
