2008 OPeR Award: Best Guest ON PIT ROW

January 3, 2009

I’m going to boast a little, if that’s OK with you.

Steve does a great job of lining up guests for our weekly radio show. It almost makes it worth having to listen to him brag about the names that he has saved in his cell phone.

This OPeR isn’t meant to slight any of our semi-regulars, like Jeff Hammond, Lee Spencer, Dave Despain or Booty Barker. I don’t have room to list all our guests and there isn’t one that hasn’t been a blast for us.

But when NASCAR opens the new Hall of Fame, Bobby Allison may very well be in the first class inducted. And we talked to him last while he was watching a young family member’s Little League game. It was the best.

2008 OPeR Award: Best NASCAR Network Coverage

December 18, 2008

The Fox Sports crew, featuring Darrell Waltrip, Larry MacReynolds, Jeff Hammond, et al, do a terrific job of bringing NASCAR to the people. Whether you are a casual, couch-racer or long-time, moonshine lovin’ circle tracker, Larry Mac, DW and Hollywood can get the story-lines and tech stuff across better than just about anybody.

But for a NASCAR addicted, no-life-of-any-kind fanatic (like a NASCAR blogger, for instance) there is nothing like the in-car-with-Junior hissownself-experience of a Sunday at Martinsville with Direct TV’s Hot Pass. Too bad it appears to have come to an end.
