Real Racing...Fake News...Updated Nightly

Ch-ch-ch-ch-anges...on NBC

The moving of Bill Webber to the announce booth (or is it announcer booth?) isn't the only change NBC has made to its Nascar coverage this year. Here's a look at some of the less noticable variances:

--Replacing "Dave Discovers" with "Dave Bank of Americas"

--Switching generic theme song for Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car"

--Wally's World moving up from Grade C celebrities to Grade B celebrities (sorry Craig T. Nelson)

--Picture in picture, so 1/4 of the screen in always focused on Dale Earnhardt Jr.

--Cutting Pocono out of the schedule entirely

--Four words: Pit Reporter Lil Kim

--Bringing back the old days of Nascar broadcasts--like tape delay, not telling fans when racers die, and rebel flags by the hundreds!

--Benny Parsons plays Matt LeBlanc's hot new love interest on "Joey" season premiere.
