Pit Bull was a debate show that aired live every Saturday on Speed during the 2004 NASCAR season. The show took place outside of every venue of the NASCAR Cup Series. Host Steve Byrnes moderated debates involving a four-person panel of sportswriters whose columns are mostly about racing. The three primary panelists were Mike Mulhern of the Winston-Salem Journal, David Poole of The Charlotte Observer, and Marty Smith of NASCAR.com. Many Pit Bull viewers were upset by the announcement, accusing NASCAR of having a say in the show's cancellation because of its ability to question them. However, another similar NASCAR-related debate show debuted in 2006, named Tradin' Paint, featuring NASCAR drivers like Kyle Petty as panelists debating NASCAR issues in a similar fashion. Tradin' Paint would run until the 2009 NASCAR season.
