We welcome Race Talk Radio fan-favorite, Brock Beard to the
mix and let him test his meddle with the rest of the Quick
Change gang! Topics include; Last week at Kansas Speedway
Jack Roush suggested that all of the Chase cars should be
inspected after every race. Is this a good idea that will
make sure everyone is playing by the same set of rules?; The
NASCAR Nationwide Series could be the name of the 2nd most
popular racing series in the nation. Do you like this name,

September
26, 2007 - QUICK CHANGE

their 2008 schedule without any major changes. Is this a surprise

so much more! |

5, 2007 - QUICK CHANGE
Special 2 hour edition featuring the 3 amigos of Quick Change,
Mike, Lori and Dennis. Topics include; The signing of Kyle
Busch will give Gibbs Racing the most powerful lineup of drivers
in Nextel Cup. But JGR will also be switching to the unproven
Toyota brand next season. How big of a gamble is this for
Gibbs? Will adding one championship caliber team change Toyota’s
fortunes for 2008? Will any of the Gibbs drivers miss the
Chase next season?; Everyone who owns a pick up truck has
been asked at one time or another by family and friends to
help move something. If you needed something moved, what driver
in the Craftsman Truck Series would you most want to help

29, 2007 - QUICK CHANGE
Tonights special guest; Mike Neff. Topics include; Is NASCAR
at a loss to limit the number of teams one owner can control?;
Some people had the audacity to suggest that the Bristol Cup
race was boring. For those people that just can’t seem
to enjoy real racing what can we do to liven up the racing
product in NASCAR?; Jacques Villeneuve is Bill Davis Racing's
newest driver in the Craftsman Truck Series. Beginning at
September's CTS race at Las Vegas, the French Canadian will
drive the final 7 truck series races this season, the ARCA
race at Talladega and possibly a Cup race at the end of the
year as well. How do you think he will do in his new motorsports
career?; The Bristol Busch Series race was marred by a NASCAR
scoring error against Kyle Busch that cost him a chance to
run for the win. Busch was penalized with 77 laps to go because
NASCAR said he violated the pit-road commitment line. He had
to forfeit his second-place position, a penalty NASCAR later
said was incorrect. Busch had to drop back to 28th and he
finished 4th. What should've NASCAR done to correct their
error and is an apology enough for this mistake? |

Shaquille O’Neil was that if he was six inches shorter
he wouldn’t be talking about winning championship rings,
he would be asking if you wanted onion rings with your order!
If our current crop of NASCAR drivers weren’t so good
at turning left and going fast, what occupation would be awaiting
them?... and more! |

NASCAR went to great lengths this week to tell everyone just
how much more competitive the racing is now versus back in

say, “The good old days are right now.” Does the
parity that is NASCAR in 2007 give us a better show than back
in the day?; In addition to having ESPN show us the air movement
over the cars and multiple scanner channels to get us fired
