Note: The Camping World Truck Series race is on Fox at 3PM, not SPEED. There are a select number of Truck Series races that appear on Fox each season as a part of the NASCAR TV contract.
The NASCAR on Fox broadcast team handles the coverage of these races. In the past, this coverage also included Digger coming over for a visit with the CWTS.
Note: Mike Wallace will co-host the Sunday morning edition of NASCAR Now on ESPN2. Wallace will then join ESPNEWS after the race for analysis and finally guest on the Monday roundtable panel of the one hour NASCAR Now program hosted by Allen Bestwick.
I know this probably isn't the place to post this but -
ReplyDeleteI just now decided to go to the Daly Planet web site and to remember how nice it was to go here and get inside facts and good discussion about Nascar. To my surprise I see that the Daly Planet is back.
Thank You JD for coming back. I can't tell you in words how much I appreciate you and this site.

I heard Mike Joy & Larry Mac covering qualifying for the Truck series on Friday. So, I'm left to assume it's Joy, Larry, and DW calling the Truck race? I seem to recall they had the "truck" team of Rick Allen, Phil Parsons & DW do this race last year.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the other Truck race that Fox will do this year is Martinsville next month. Under this new contract, Fox does 2 Truck races each season.
It is the NASCAR on Fox announce team that will be covering the Truck Series race in Cali.
ReplyDeleteJD,
ReplyDeleteDuring qualifying do the announcers not see the tracker that we see? The reason i ask is because they act like they have no idea if the driver is going to be on the pole if he is close but we can see he is in 3rd or 4th place and going backwards.
Hi John and thank you for passing this information along to all your loyal followers. Don't burn yourself out. I would much rather have you less frequently than not at all.
ReplyDeletedrh,
ReplyDelete"Act" is the key word in your post.
JD
Thank you JD.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to be home.
Just saw the truck line up, some names that I've never seen, so what is the talent level?
Hmmm..i was hoping for comments during truck race.
ReplyDeleteSound cut in and out (ONGOING problem for SPEED, too this season!)but thought billy ray did great with anthem, stuck with tradition, no messing with the tune. :-)
New obnoxious Digger Cam graphic to ADD to the intrusion.
How long to TNT and will Mike Wells be back, JD! :-)
xoxo
Truck race so far to me is Kyle Busch, commercial, kyle busch, commercial. Then DW says Todd Bodine and Skinner will wreck each other passing and bump drafting, going back and forth, then kyle busch, commercial.
ReplyDeleteSpeed and Fox better get there sound problems fixed. Last week and this week sound problems.
Yes I agree Sophia, Billy Ray did a decent job. Sucks the mic problems :(
ReplyDeleteGlad to see Phil, I miss Rick :(
Ditto charlie. sound issues REPEATEDLY. I shall HATE Truck series if it's all about Kyle :(
ReplyDeleteI missed the SPEED gang but in all fairness I was multi tasking during the race. Oh but I DID NOTICE more, newer "D" cam. *sigh* but was it me or did the guys in booth sometimes ignore him...I have a feeling they are told how to promote so we can NOT fault the guys we love in the booth. I don't think.
Gymmie yes too bad we ONCE again had sound problems for an Anthem that was GOOD. Many times for some singers, the mic could have a mute button for those of us at home.
I'm just sayin' :-)
I hadn't checked in days and days and looked today and there ya are. I enjoyed the truck race I think the race was too short. I also liked Phil Parsons in the pre-race show. We were especially happy to see Houston's David Starr come in 4th too. Welcome back and thanks - the 500 just wasn't the same.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe California is a good track to showcase the Truck series to a broadcast network audience. Next year, instead of the 2 Fox broadcasts being California & Martinsville, they may want to look at doing the Atlanta & Martinsville truck races.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone happen to catch what the emblem is on Starr's uniform that they appeared to be trying to cover up for TV? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't surprised that FOX chose to use the its crew for the truck race this year. There really is no point in sending 4 "additional" on-air talent to the event for a race that takes 2 hours to do. That was probably a money-saving move.
