On Wednesday’s ‘Sirius Speedway’ show, channel 128 on Sirius, the show’s host, Dave Moody, had John Daly of DalyPlanet.blogspot.com, as one of his guests.

They were discussing the unhappiness of some NASCAR fans with the race broadcasts, including such issues as when the network should break for a commercial, or when to come back. Moody, nicknamed ‘The Godfather of Motorsports’, made the comment that he knows that every race broadcast is scrutinized, and he would probably not even like his own radio show examined so thoroughly.

We have a rebellious nature here at cawsnjaws.com, and could not let such a temptation pass by. However, dear readers, do not let Dave know about this. He said he wasn’t sure he could handle the results. We don’t see anything that should cause him any distress, but there is no sense pushing it.

The following is broken down in a similar way as all of the Cup races.
