Hopefully NBCSports or Velocity Channel will pick the show up. I'm far from being Despain's biggest fan, but I believe he should be on TV - same with Miller. In fact, I though Miller was already on NBCSports. Did they drop him or was I mistaken in thinking he was there? Is Fox killing Speed Center too???

Also, is Jan Beekhuis still doing ICS races on NBCSports? If so, is he still teasing information that only he knows, but he never gives to the audience? Likeable, good guy. Unlikeable, bad broadcaster.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Despain stay at FOX. FOX has said it will continue to have NASCAR programming. With NBCSports going heavily into racing, it would makes sense to have a Wind Tunnel type of program, so we'll see. Miller is still doing IndyCar with NBCSports, but he will be working at Racer now as a columnist. Don't know about Speed Center, but I expect it to go.

Jan is back doing pit reporting. Lately, NBCSports has been having a guest announcer join Diffy and Townsend Bell in the booth for the races.

I read on one of my Twitter follows from NASCAR land that Despain will retire.....
I like Miller and Despain and the whole shooting match BUT all good things do sometimes come to an end...

Quite a few years ago, I was crewing for a friend of mine was (motorcycle) racing with WERA. We used to see Dave around a bit since he raced as well. He gave the keynote speech at the banquet for that year's Grand National Final. It started out as a serious talk on the problems facing motorcycle racing, which he then morphed into a very funny speech about road rash. I see he's well into his 60's now and I can see where he'd want to retire from a weekly show. Let's hope he sticks around to do at least a little more broadcasting.

I like this show and I see its all episodes but due to my exams I don’t watch TV and all programs that’s my favorite but now I am free from exams and I have lots of time to enjoy my holidays so now I forget the right time and day of Wind Tunnel show. So if anyone have knowledge it and know its exact timing then you must tell me. I think now it present last episode. I wait for your reply.
