Chris Myers hosts alongside Michael Waltrip with pit reports from Steve Byrnes, Jeff Hammond, Krista Voda and Matt Yocum. JEFF HAMMOND SAYS MATT KENSETH IS IN A SLUMP: “Somebody who happens to be in a slump is Matt Kenseth because … how many races did he win last year, including Kansas (seven)? He needs to get up on the wheel and make it happen because this is not normal for Matt Kenseth.” LARRY MCREYNOLDS SAYS TALLADEGA WAS A BIG WIN FOR DENNY HAMLIN: “This win was important. He had a very dismal year last year and missed several races due to injury. He missed the Chase for the first time but returned from injury to win the season finale. Then at Speedweeks this year, he won two non-points races and nearly won the Daytona 500, but after that, the only thing they could hang their hat on was a sixth-place finish--at Bristol. Look at the places we always talk about Denny -- Martinsville and Richmond -- but the only time we talked about him there was when he was about to get lapped or spun out.” HAMMOND SAYS BRAD KESELOWSKI AND MATT KENSETH COULD BE HEADED TOWARD A RIVALRY AFTER RICHMOND & TALLADEGA: “These guys definitely have a war of words going on right now. I’ll be interested to see how it plays out the rest of the year. Brad has one win and Matt doesn’t have a win, and these guys probably will ramp it up as we go through the summer. We might wind up having a good rivalry between these two guys.” FOX NASCAR SATURDAY KANSAS PRE-RACE SHOW • Network/When: FOX, Saturday, May 10 (7:00 PM ET) • Talent: Chris Myers, Mike Joy, Darrell Waltrip, Larry McReynolds, Michael Waltrip, Jeff Hammond, Steve Byrnes, Matt Yocum and Krista Voda • This Week: Mother’s Day spotlight on Krissie Newman, Ryan Newman’s wife, regarding the “woman behind the driver,” including her responsibilities outside motherhood NASCAR RACEDAY • Network/When: FOX Sports 2, Saturday, May 10 (6:00 PM ET) • Talent: Chris Myers, Mike Joy, Larry McReynolds, Michael Waltrip, Jeff Hammond, Steve Byrnes, Krista Voda, Matt Yocum and Rutledge Wood • This Week: “Home Again” encore feature follows Kansas native Clint Bowyer as he returns to his home state; rookie profile on Ryan Truex • Guests: Live interview with Clint Bowyer NASCAR CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES RACING FROM KANSAS SPEEDWAY • Network/When: FOX Sports 1 & FOX Sports GO, Friday, May 9 (8:30 PM ET) • Talent: Rick Allen, Phil Parsons, Michael Waltrip, Bob Dillner, Ray Dunlap and Hermie Sadler NCWTS SETUP • Network/When: FOX Sports 1, Friday, May 9 (8:00 PM ET) • Talent: Krista Voda, Bob Dillner, Ray Dunlap and Hermie Sadler • This Week: After a month off since the last Truck Series race, FOX Sports 1 revisits the late-race dustup and best scanner sound from Martinsville; feature on Matt Crafton’s win at Martinsville; Kaitlyn Vincie’s sit-down interview with Brian Ickler; and news from the Charlotte Motor Speedway test RAY DUNLAP CALLS THE YOUTH MOVEMENT THE BIGGEST STORYLINE IN THE TRUCK SERIES IN 2014: “Without a doubt, the youth movement is the biggest storyline for 2014. We have an interesting mix of youth, mid-level experience drivers and veterans. Drivers with mid-level experience in the field like Ryan Blaney, Darrell Wallace Jr. and Joey Coulter have won but aren’t exactly veterans. Then we have 10 or 12 very young kids in excellent equipment with a great shot at winning and showcasing their skills, such as Cole Custer, John Hunter Nemechek, Gray Gaulding, Ben Rhodes and so forth. It will be a lot of fun to watch them compete in the 10 or 12 races they’re eligible to enter.” NASCAR RACE HUB • Network/When: FOX Sports 1, Thursday, May 8 (4:00 PM ET); Monday, May 12 (5:00 PM ET), Tuesday, May 13 (5:00 PM ET); Wednesday, May 14 (5:00 PM ET) • Talent: Co-hosts Steve Byrnes, Danielle Trotta and Adam Alexander; analysts Matt Clark, Bob Dillner, Jeff Hammond and Larry McReynolds • This Week: Interview with Kasey Kahne, Kansas race preview, “Crunching the Numbers” at Kansas segment and “Let it Ride” odds segment with Todd Fuhrman on Thursday, May 8 • NOTE: NASCAR RACE HUB moves to its new time of 5:00 PM ET beginning Monday, May 12 (weekdays 5:00-6:00 PM ET) UFC UFC TONIGHT – UFC FIGHT NIGHT: BROWN VS.
