A planned set up went wrong for one team and went great for another. The “Cheap Shot” I am referring to is the one that ended up happening this past Saturday night at Richmond International Raceway.

A year or so when I wrote my last column for this site, I said that I was leaving permanently. At that time there were several issues that I could not write about.

ESPN on ABC’s live telecast of that Saturday’s Aaron’s 312 NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Talladega ( Ala.) Superspeedway scored big increases in ratings and household impressions over last year’s race, continuing an upward trend to series TV numbers in 2008.
The race earned a 2.6 rating and 2,962,000 household impressions, increases of 28 and 29 percent, respectively, over the same categories for last year’s ABC telecast (2.1; 2,291,000). The event also earned the largest numbers for a NASCAR Nationwide Series race on the ESPN networks since live NASCAR racing returned to ESPN in 2007, eclipsing the previous high of 2.4/2, 699,000 for the March, 2007, event from Las Vegas that aired on ABC.

Well, it was an “interesting” weekend of racing… depending on what side of the fence you’re on will determine whether it was “good” or not.
There might be a chance of duplicate editions this morning, as the Monday ones seem to be larger due to the weekend recaps.
If you’re a automotive fan, and have never heard or or watched “Top Gear”, tonight’s the night to check it out. It will be on the BBC America channel tonight at 8:00 PM eastern time. I can’t particularly recommend the British sense of humor; it tends to be more crude and crass than what we typically see here in the USA, but the cars and the interaction between the 3 host is spectacular. www.topgear.com/ See, Heather, I actually remembered.

Amongst the boring laps set down by DennyHambone, little tidbits of adrenaline were sprinkled every now and then at Richmond.
The Bobsy Twins, the Big One, Mikie’s carnage, and KidKyle’s ‘judgment error’ at the end of the race.
But hey, it’s short track racing, and the inevitable is always guesswork.
