High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! NASCAR Inside Nextel Cup is a show that aired Monday nights on Speed Channel during the NASCAR season. It was replaced by This Week in NASCAR February 18, 2008. Inside Nextel Cup was hosted by Dave Despain. The show was taped every Monday morning at SPEED's studios in Charlotte, North Carolina about 11 a.m., unless a race is postponed to Monday, in which case the show takes place live. The show usually ran for 60 minutes, except for a brief period during the first few weeks of the 2005 season, when it ran for 90 minutes. Speed Channel chose to discontinue this show at the end of the 2007 NASCAR season, replacing it in 2008 with the similar program This Week in NASCAR.
