Is that program on anymore? I know Nascar is limiting the access other programs get to thier footage now....but is the fact Schrader and Waltrip tied so closely to yesterday's events the reason it wasn't on today...or was it canceled prior to the season? -- dave henrie Free the ICR2 source code!
It's "cancelled", sort of. The last I got was that NASCAR didn't renew rights for the name "Inside Winston Cup Racing", and Fox hasn't released rights for footage from any races. This pretty much ends the show. Speedvision stated that Kenny, Mikey and Johnny wanted to "do something", so they're looking at a new show, new name, and new format (possibly doing a pre-race format, which avoids the Fox footage licensing issue). I think it was Waltrip that said that if they do something it might be in March. Anyway, that's all unverified heresay because I'm not looking to find that link to the Speedvision page I'm referring to, but I'll say this: IWCR was the best NASCAR show. I liked the friendly, accessible, charming, down-home (some say, "low budget") format. Their format seems to mirror what it's like to participate in NASCAR, and what it's like to be a NASCAR fan. For me personally, I *needed* to hear Kenny and Mikey talk about Daytona. I'm certain it would have helped me get through my own regrets, but it doesn't look like this is going to happen because of NASCAR and Fox licensing issues. -- Philip D'Amato [email hidden] 00 ZX-6R 00 S4 "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:vijk6.445286$[email hidden]... > Is that program on anymore?

Thanks for that question and answer. I was looking through my tv guide just this evening and wondering when/if it was on again. Great show... I hope that they're able to put it together again. Even my wife liked it (or maybe it was just Mikey that she liked). :-) "Philip D'Amato" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:iIjk6.175$[email hidden]... > It's "cancelled", sort of. > > The last I got was that NASCAR didn't renew rights for the name "Inside > Winston Cup Racing", and Fox hasn't released rights for footage from any > races.

well it's former form and format has been pretty much been "canceled" but those invovled are still hoping to do some type of show in the future. What a shame to lose such a truly great show too. Damn this new TV deal to hell. This shit is really pissing me off. check these sites for more info http://www.motorsportstv.com/ and of course... www.speedvision.com :) Dave Henrie <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:vijk6.445286$[email hidden]...

This pretty much ends the show. Fox owns 1/3rd of Speedvision. The whole things isn't related just to Fox, NASCAR is doing some political push on the whole media thing also. IWCR was easily my best show of 2000. Perhaps low-cost, but hey no other show had me glued on each Monday night. Hopefully something will happen, something similar to it will be on Speedvision. Perhaps they could do Inside CART Racing. F1 is out of reach of course if they want drivers ;-) Anybody knows it's ratings? Pre-race would be quite good, but it's still not the same :( What stinks is that the best show you could had (a post-Daytona with MW and Kenny) is impossible mostly because of corporate greed. I also *needed* such thing personally. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.ymenard.com/ -- People think it must be fun to be a genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.

**** Post for FREE via your newsreader at post.usenet.com **** DirecTV sticks SpeedVision in with an expensive Sports 'upgrade' that I have no need for, so the less on SpeedVision, and the more on normal Cable/Satellite, the better as far as I'm concerned :) -Larry "ymenard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:YPlk6.14236$[email hidden]...

Actually, the big news is that NASCAR's high-handed credentialling has cost it live ESPN coverage on NASCAR 2Nite, etc. --Steve Dog-Leg <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > **** Post for FREE via your newsreader at post.usenet.com **** > > DirecTV sticks SpeedVision in with an expensive Sports 'upgrade' that Ihave

Well it didn't air/cablecast here in the Pacific Northwest(Washington State, USA) But a 1 hour recap by a British station of the American Motorola Cup was shown in it's place. dave henrie "Philip D'Amato" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:eWKk6.2230$[email hidden]...
