Quote selected text Published June 5th, 2008 in NASCAR News
Turner Network Television (TNT) is gearing up for its 2008 Sprint Cup Series six week race package by unveiling new, exclusive on-air features and announcing drivers who will join the set during the network’s extensive 90 minute pre-race coverage.
Current Sprint Cup drivers who will join TNT’s pre-race show each week include #11 Denny Hamlin (Pocono), #99 Carl Edwards (Michigan), #42 Juan Montoya (Sonoma) and #31 Jeff Burton (New Hampshire). TNT will also showcase both new and veteran NASCAR faces in weekly series called NASCAR Future Stars, featuring the future faces of the Sprint Cup Series, and the Pride of NASCAR, which will highlight six racing legends such as Bobby Allison, Raymond Parks, Ernie Irvan and Marvin Panch among others.
TNT’s Wally Dallenbach hops back in the car for Wally’s World, this time joined in a second car by Kyle Petty as they get behind the wheel of stock cars and demonstrate to viewers the nuances of each racetrack and break down the strategy required to be successful each week. Finally, pit reporter Lindsay Czarniak will uncover little known facts and stories from each of the race locations in a weekly segment called Lindsay on Location.

Hey Kyle might lead a lap next race
Sounds like a decent pre-race show that I might actually tune in for. Instead of hours of DW, Larry Mac and Hammond blabbering on and on you’ll get some real entertainment and maybe even learn something about NASCAR’s past, present and future!
Oh and to top it all off, no moronic “boogity boogity boogity” for 6 races? I’m in heaven!!!
Well, need to make the most of it before “Nascar Hell”((ESPN coverage)) starts
Even if i cant stand DW fox still does a better job, i hate tnt and espn
TNT SUCKS WITH THE RACE COVERAGE AND PRE RACE THE TNT CREW SUCKS THEY NEED A NEW JOB.FOX COVERAGE SHOULD BE YEAR AROUND
Is this the guy that does NOT Know Racing and has to read for Cards???
Greeezzeeeee
Whatever………
Just show the races
Re: 1st broadcast; June 8th
TNT announcers made Leelee Dale commercials look annimated. It was terrible! (except for Larry Mac.) Replays were taken from a poor vantage.
