Now it's the Steve Burns Show. What a maroon!! No, don't talk about the race just run. Let's have a stroll down memory lane about the next track; but wait, no talk of Kenny Irwin or Adam Petty? Screw that murderous boring track! Oh, and don't waist time having professionals discuss racing; show highlights of Rutledge. I love Rutledge, he's hilarious but that's not what I USED to tune in for on Monday nights. They have screwed this show up to the max, but I still watch, if I remember it's on. Far cry from when I used to look forward to Monday nights.

I agree! I like Steve, and he always did a nice job on Totally Nascar. He isn't the problem, though. The problem is the format. The original format of Inside Winston Cup was very successful for many years. It wasn't broke, and did not need fixing. We don't need a trip down memory lane. There are other shows that do that well. We just need a recap of the most recent race weekend. A little bit of Mikey being himself always makes it more fun, too.

Welcome to Hopeless World. Everybody loved IWC, so they ditched the host and Johnny Benson. Everybody tolerated INC, so they ditched the host, Ken Schrader and the format. TWIN isn't even tolerable, it's awful. Is there something worse than awful? If there is, they'll ditch something else until we're there. So go ahead, keep starting new threads about the continued destruction of a perfectly good show. No one at SPEED hears you. Now if you'll excuse me, NASCAR Now is waiting on the Tivo. Heck of a host on that show, don't ya know...

What was wrong with the old “Inside Nascar” ( the Mikey Show)?

Mikey.

Do you really think Steve Burns dictates content?

He is the host, not the producer.

Could not agree more! I never missed that show, now I hardly watch it. The host is too loud and never asks the tough questions. Mikey, when he is not trying to rewrite NASCAR history about his pathetic career, has his head so far up NASCAR’s a.. he can not even see what is truly going on anymore. Chad Knaus, who I never like, is doing a great job. I have gained new respect for him. Look for him to be replaced next year, if not sooner. My show of choice, NASCAR Now (where did they get that great host?).

It's the same old thing. New people get moved up the corporate ladder and when they arrive there, they feel like they have to change things around to justify their new presence whether the show needs changing or not and this is the result. While it still maintains some traces of IWC/INC, it's so far removed from what made the show great, it's not even funny. Get back Kenny and Johnny. :D

Couldn't have said it better myself. Now he is ruining truck race broadcasts.

I think Michael is trying to single handedly retain the flavor of the old show and he continues to play goofy to draw Ken's sarcasm, only Ken isn't there anymore so it all flops.

I agree that Chad Knauss is doing a nice job. He's not Ken or Johnny, but he does make some interesting points.

I do have to say that the show has improved over the season, which doesn't mean it is anywhere close to being as good as the old format. It's a shame.

So disappointed with Speed's decision to change what seemed to be a perfect format. As stated before, first Alan, then Johnny and now Kenny is missing from what used to be a very entertaining program. What do we need to do to bring Kenny back. (Alan and Johnny now have their own gig). What does it take to wake up a network that they are losing their audience slowly but surely on a weekly basis!!!

Bring Kenny back!!
