That however, is not the case for TNT. The network has confirmed to the a href="http://dalyplanet.blogspot.com/2009/07/now-confirmed-by-tnt-weber-out-for-last.html"Daly Planet/a that host, Bill Weber (pictured left), has been sent home because of a late night fight in the network's hotel....br /blockquoteRalph Sheheen will handle the play-by-play duties for Daytona and Chicago with Kyle Petty and Wally Dallenbach alongside. TV ratings for the Sprint Cup Series race from Loudon, NH were up slightly and that may have played a role in this decision.br /br /Weber was involved in a late night incident last Friday night at the TNT hotel in Manchester, NH. It spilled-over into Weber being sent home by TNT executives on Saturday and now his release from the TV package.br /br /TNT has been tight-lipped about the issue and gave no indication whether or not Weber would continue with the network in 2010. Here is the official TNT release:br /br /Bill Weber will not be part of TNT's NASCAR coverage of the Cup Series for the network’s last two races. Ralph Sheheen will handle play-by-play duties for The Coke Zero 400 in Daytona and the LifeLock.com 400 from Chicagoland. Sheheen will be calling the races alongside analysts Kyle Petty and Wally Dallenbach in the booth./blockquoteObviously this isn't really a big deal, considering that most of you probably didn't even realize NASCAR was aired on TNT, but still interesting to hear about. Weber must have done some serious stuff to be sent packing like that. If anyone wants to tell me about it (either on the record, or off), I'd love to hear about it.br /br /a href="http://dalyplanet.blogspot.com/2009/07/now-confirmed-by-tnt-weber-out-for-last.html"Now Confirmed By TNT: Weber Out For Last Two Races/a (The Daly Planet)div class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28221516-8218760886963762768?l=awfulannouncing.blogspot.com'//divdiv class="feedflare"
