Catch Up/Lowe's Motor Speedway Media Tour Updates

To amplify on last week's Race-Talk, where we talked to Daly Planet Editor John Daly: If the TV ratings are not so good, then what does that say, first, about the organization that is producing the coverage, and second (and more important in the context of connecting the dots) what it says about the subject/event that is being covered? Hundreds to thousands of you have weighed in at http://www.thedalyplanet.tv on this subject.

Our Motor Sports Radio Network coverage is not like the all you can eat buffets...more like a high quality push cart hot dog, that whets your appetite...

We're at the Lowe's Media Tour in/around Concord, NC this week, where we'll likely hear from NASCAR's Maximum Leader, Brian France, major teams, and perhaps some of the TV partners. The question we'd ask our friends at ESPN/TNT is this: "Where do you think you need to improve in 2008"? The answer--either way--is instructive.

We'll blog some snapshots...and weigh in with our opinion...from time to time during the four days.
