History

This Week in NASCAR replaced Inside NEXTEL Cup in 2008. NASCAR personality Steve Byrnes took over hosting duties on the newly named This Week in NASCAR, which premiered February 18. This Week in NASCAR replaced the NASCAR Sprint Cup race re-cap and analysis show, moving into a “handoff” position between events, reviewing topical items from previous races in all three NASCAR national touring series, while also looking forward to upcoming events. Familiar faces, including Michael Waltrip and Greg Biffle who remained regular Monday night panelists, with NASCAR crew chiefs, including three-time champ Chad Knaus also joining the show.
