Three races remain in the 2009 Sprint Cup Series season and all of them will be on ABC.
Allen Bestwick leads the NASCAR on ESPN team on-air with NASCAR Countdown. He will be joined by Brad Daugherty and Rusty Wallace. Tim Brewer will contribute from the Tech Garage.
Jerry Punch is calling the play-by-play action from TMS. He has Dale Jarrett and Andy Petree alongside of him for the race. Down on pit road are Jamie Little, Shannon Spake, Vince Welch and Dave Burns.
This race is fast and dangerous. Accidents happen very quickly and the on-track action under green leaves very little time for features and the playback of recorded material.
It is hard to use the in-car cameras at this track live because there is almost always passing and action going on somewhere in the field. The aerial shot is effective and really puts things in perspective in terms of track positions. It should also show the double-file restarts quite well.
The low angle "speed shots" at TMS work quite well to deliver the reality of the speed to the TV viewers. They are most effective on restarts when the pack is still bunched together and coming up to speed.
Pit stops under caution should have the normal triple-split video coverage. The race off pit road is key once again. Green flag pit stops demand a split screen, as the action continues at full speed regardless of the cars cycling through pit road.
There has been great sound and pictures from TMS on Friday and Saturday for the truck and Nationwide Series races. With all the TV toys available to them, it should come down to smart choices being made by the ESPN producer and director to keep the focus on the racing and update the stories unfolding during the event.

Have fun with the Jimmie Love Fest ...
I'm DONE!
Doc, I hate to tell you, but I DO NOT CARE what parts and pieces had to be fixed on "the 48 car."
Chris from NY
See my last comment about free radio..is out there but I only found out from email & great peeps here :) We can't put links, gets JD in trouble
Wow. Did you see Marcos and Reut running together? Accidental camera shot?
Dot, I blinked and missed MA & Reut.
ESPN now on mute. Thanks for the radio links friends!
Good runs going for Ambrose and Reut
There attitude seems literally to be, well, we'll just have to make do and get by until Jimmy gets back on track...
It is just unbelievable.....the annoucers give the impression that that it would be better if they stopped the race and waited for the 48 to get his repairs done, then they would have something to talk about.
allman bros bumper...kool
Can you imagine the 'Jimmie watch' we will have once he gets back on the track? Oy.
Sorry about the link, new here.
PRN saying Reut helped wreck Hornish who wrecked JJ
It's so bad you can send radio links. I check them out and if they are bad I delete them.
I feel bad for DJ and Andy. This is ruining their careers on TV.
Fans are screaming in email they have no idea how their driver got to his current place and they are pissed after last week.
PRN saying JJ will be out in about 10 minutes.RRq panel not doing well..speaking way too much about this...I hear banging...sheesh.
I love me some Hotpass and PRN.
Back and forth between Giants and ESPN, PRN radio on.
Johnson's car is coming out.
The Dr is in--packing for Florida next week (some vacation, then Homestead), and is beating his head against the file cabinet trying to understand modern television sports production as executed by ESPN.
Opportunity City? I like it when the Doc explains the medicine behind emergency extrications much better.
I would like it even better if the Doc were prowling pit road, and Allen Bestwick were anchoring.
It is poetic justice that the script had to be thrown on the dung heap.
Rolling out JJ. Script back on.
New NASCAR mid term race rule change. JJ gets the 112 lap wave around.
How many cases of bear bond is on the 48 car?
ok, radio guys just said in re: 48 car: "they're having to bolt some things on, hammer some things on, as you can see . . . "
no, i am not making this up.
now they're telling me they're following twitter updates from nascar media and say utter says mcmurray going to EGR next year is confirmed.
is ANYONE paying attention to the race?!?
kinda liking that stealth 48! what about you, nrf?!?
And here is big box Tim.
JJ now full screen over 100 laps down...wait he has to share it with Brewer. This is a new all time low.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not the tech garage.
And Doc says that car looks terrific. Oh no there's TB now.
wow this is really bad tv coverage
I am so frustrated with the quality (or should I say the lack thereof) of the ABC/ESPN broadcast that I think I'm going to watch some shows on my dvr and listen to the race on PRN. I'm getting nothing from the tv coverage right now as it is.
Full screen Chad.
Real nice.
BROTHER! Turned to the JTV tab to see Captain Obvious in the big box and JJ in a small box :(
Well my room mate just started lawnmower, can't hear beans from apple butter (windows open, NICE day) but the camera pics as usual are not telling us anything except. . . . JJ if back on and NOW they have Timmy B splaining.
Have some candy, or an adult beverage and just enjoy the trainwreck before us.
I thought Bengals played at 4pm but they played AND WON earlier game...
GEEZ are there cars running under GREEN FLAG> WHY are we seeing the pits?!?!?!?! w JJ
Why are we watching Chad?
Heaven help me --- THERE'S A RACE GOING ON!
Are we under caution since they are just showing JJ car.
Okay, now I'm pissed off.
This is a JOKE! There is absolutely NO reason you should be fixated on Jimmie Johnson right now. I understand he is the points leader and all that jazz but still. They have NO reason to be focused on his exit from the garage, stop for new tires, etc. Update from time to time, but other than that he is JUST ANOTHER CAR.
-sigh- ESPN, what more could you want from the WWL?
Lions lead 17-0 after 1 in Seattle. I'd rather watch that...
Even if Shrub-a-dub-dub IS leading, ESPN doesn't care...
can't believe they didn't have a can of white spray paint and put Lowes on the hood, that would have been good.
Too funny! I would laugh if the telecast were not just so sad.
To see this sport become a sideshow for ESPN is disheartening.
I have to rely on Nascar.com leaderboard, PRN, TDP, Twitter & ESPN on mute to figure out what the heck is going on.
I wonder if it has occurred to anyone in Daytona or ESPN that trying to jam the 'chase' down fans throats is part of the reason so many of us absolutely hate it? And this fixation on JJ....
oops...just saw your tweet JD take back what I said about Captain Obvious THIS time :)
Red, have started drinking for obvious reason. Someone on Twitter called it a mean looking 48, I'm calling it the PO'd Knaus look. Jimmie is trying to have the car drive better and Chad is trying to keep the tires from rubbing yet they are both calm. I'd be screaming my head off.
PRN is BSing us with a Kentucky pitch.
JD
I think you need a column after this and then our comments.
JJ wreck just confuzzled everybody even more.
Even the radio guys can't leave JJ alone.
Anybody have Barney Hall's phone number? :)
Is anybody RACING besides JJ? I see cars on my tv. .
Whenever I'm having a great day, I can always count on coming to TDP and seeing 200 people tell me what a horrible race I'm watching.
Then again these are the people that cheered when JJ wrecked, so the amount of intelligence and class is just as suspected here.
This is like a Nascar Performance show, not a race broadcast. They could make a great half hour segment about repairing a race car. Only one problem,
DURING THE RACE IS NOT THE TIME TO DO IT!!!!
If I can ever get my hands on the monkey and football in the prodcution truck, the monkey will be dinner the football will look like a piece of cow dung...AARRGGGGGG!!!!!!
Hey everyone! Good to see the chase get a little interesting w Jimmy getting in that accident
Marcos is stinking up the script for BSPN. Like wow, how'd he get here?
PLEASE tell us what is going right?
If you wanted a good race, you should have been here Friday night.
This is like watching C-SPAN.
I've found a reason to watch ESPN......to see how much worse they are each week than last. Just can't imagine how they'll top this fiasco.
Makiki

nascar tweet says teams from 5, 24, 88 jumped in to help 48 team with repairs. sweet!
lol this is ESPN getting back at @ nascar
YUP! BS61 I have the PRN audio (which is why I didn't realize Captain Obvious was relevant for once) and checking Tweets and PitCommand leaderboard to keep up and using ESPN on mute for pictures.
BREAKING NEWS! Jimmie Johnson gained 2 spots! Time for a full screen shot.
Dot, do you think the pit reporters had to look up the 47 scanner number? My guess they have never used it except at the road course.
Then again these are the people that cheered when JJ wrecked, so the amount of intelligence and class is just as suspected here.
November 8, 2009 4:51 PM
***********
I beg your pardon, I do NOT, EVER, cheer when a driver wrecks.
Red, ESPN actually did mention that when he first went in for repairs
Now it's time for a caution. GF stops coming up.
I was here on Friday.
I'm watching the Cup race because I always do.
@ nrf, I'm sure they did. Funny comment from you, road course. :)
I was thrilled, I cheered. I admit it and won't hide behind that. That being said, Jimmie was already driving back to the pits when I did it, was already on the radio, etc.
ESPN has not a clue what is going on, I don't believe they've reset the field once unless ive missed it...
I am watching Hotpass. They usually have one box for the driver whose channel you are watching and a smaller box for the ABC broadcast. I thought that they had changed to the 48 camera because all I was seeing was the 48 team working on the car. I finally learned that was what the broadcast was showing. Wow, you have got to be kidding me.
Once they get a script they can change it can they.
Texas im sorry but I was all over the cheering when I saw JJ crash! its about time this chase gets a little interesting!!!! I know i know if your here for the crashes please leave but this is one crash I had to cheer. Just been sick of the JJ good luck charm and this was awsome! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
13 seconds back to 10th. It's the Dega parade again.
Is it just me or do the annoucers actually seem more comfortable that JJ is back in the race. I mean serioulsy, while he was in the garage there voices were just off, as if they were nervous and didn't know what to do, now that are back on there couch all comfy again.
am I nuts or did any of you hear a noticable change too?
@Sophia--I don't know if anyone else PRN is on Twitter but Bret is tweet him :). He's a really nice man :)
Here we go. JJ love fest again. Make it stop.
I cheered for what JJs wreck would do for ESPN;-)
I really don't want to say the "R" word, but it is moving up from the South. Shouldn't impact the race, but, in Texas, you never know.
Typical Texas race...a few laps of side by side followed by L O N G stretches of boring. Like MIS or California. Or Kansas. Or joliet...well, you know.
someone wreck JJ PLEASE FOR the love of god i cant stand the JJPN Network!!! UGHHHHHHHHh
Forget about your driver and how they are doing on the track. Green flag pits stops in full screen is what you have to watch now.
And maybe where JJ is.
thanks, david: missed it being away from the race then.
nrf: i'm liking the fact that they bear-bonded around the number so as to meet nascar requirements but just taped the rest of it all matte black.
and if anyone else is interested: aric almirola's girlfriend just tweeted jim utter that aric proposed yesterday and she accepted! how's THAT for the power of "social media"?!?
why is TV showing the wreck for the ZILLIONTH time did the other 42 cars go home when I closed my eyes to blink? UGH!
where is the link for the radio.
Chat numbers are low today, wonder if anyone is really left watching with NFL heating up?
really not enjoying the multi tasking today. turning everything off and going to dinner. By all
Red all those black parts are new not tape. It's basically a new body
I can not wait for Phoenix next week. I love that track one mile in the desert! I go there every april and would soooooooooo love to be able to go next week but oh well. theres nothing nothing like phoenix! Pre racing in the desert and a race like no other, my favorite track!!!
Boot ESPN.
And send at least half of the boring intermediate races with you.
Chris from NY
PRN is indeed BSPN lite. sorry MRN isn't on today.
I'm enjoying my young kitten, almost 8 months, getting used to lawn mower noise.
Camera on Jimmie alot..is he leading?:)
Looks like there are 'plenty of good seats available' today.
bye ri88, I have a feeling you are not alone.
Carolina/NO game on left tv. Hotpass and PRN on right tv. But without online leaderboard I might as well have an Ouija board to track the race progress.
Did he just say still 111 laps back with the emotion like he should have gained 40 laps back by now???
Either JP need to go back to the pits where he is great, or to the parking lot. He sucks in the booth..
@ Sally 4:51...
I predicted right when the first trial balloon went up about the chase that this is what we would end up with...upset fans and upset sponsors. I believe that, no matter what TV network got this portion of the schedule, the nature of the beast would make it irresistible to not focus on just a handful of drivers. I just wish that I still had some of my old articles and forum posts as proof of my "I told you so" even though the tipping point came later than I expected.
Giants being beat by San Diego is more interesting.
ESPN's producer must take a hike. A long one. Off an unfinished bridge.
Why do single car shots?
@ dead horse, you're killing me.
Listening to JJ spotter talking constantly because he is getting passed is starting to get really old. I had to turn it down.
Oh no they talked about JR last time that happened he wrecked. IT's almost as bad as the in race reporter curse
Only one 'chaser' in the top 5. That has really thrown the booth for a loop. Where's their 'The cream rises to the top' line now?
I'll correct myself:
Giants TYING San Diego is 10x the entertainment the race will ever be.
Can't take anymore...I'm going to eat dinner. Bye!
Sorry folks I am NOT into wrecks but when I saw JJ was ok and his car a hot mess on it's way to the garage, I celebrated THEN. :-)
Gotta be honest.
but who knew, ESPN could get even more sucky?
Done taking pics of the kitten..now he's afraid of the sound of leaves being raked (his first fall and all)
I smell some twitpics in the next 24 hours with Sophias_Place on it. :)
Billy Mays commercials...and VERY LOUD.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz hey wow a its a billy maze tv infomercal! better than this crap espn gives me
Almost to halfway, anyone feeling the excitement?
PRN just did a full field rundown.

bye ri88, I have a feeling you are not alone.
that's for certain! i'll be outta here soon: have to get oldest to the train & then head to sister-in-law's for dinner. ordinarily, i'd watch the race at her house until conclusion. today? not so much.
nrf: just so you know? i am NOT taking any pleasure from this today, not one bit. but that new 48 car out there is really a wicked looking beast!
Who asked if we cheered when JJ wrecked? I did but, knew he was OK. Should it happen to the 18, you'll hear me. Disclaimer. I wish no ill will or injury to Weed.
hey Chris, not anymore! Yeah, there is hope!
Sounds like the football is way better than the race right now. I have it on PIP in case all heck breaks loose, but I gave up trying to figure out where they were all at.
sophia i dont know how to use twitter but I have facebook and myspace, would love to see your pics of the the kitten! click my name ill have my myspace link on there if u could send em through that!
JJ just 'passed' the S & P'ers. Wow.
wow ABC has completely ignored the "real" racing
Gordo caution on the way.
We are watching Carl's Hotpass and the excitement and field summaries are terrific.
It's either Johnson, the other Chasers, or the Busch brothers. I'm out. I'll keep it on the Giants.
Sorry for mentioning the Giants too many times.
I have the Montoya channel on hotpass, but as an added attraction, the JJ channel is on the second screen.
Bazooka Joe bubble gum wrapper on track for 'debris'
OYYYYY!!
If we didn't have debris cautions....
I need clean and green today. Work in a little over an hour and ahalf.
Why the caution? I was in the pits.
Conspiracy theorists have your fun. Debris caution just when the 24 is about to get lapped. :>)
Another visit from "Jacques De-bris"?
Dot, you nailed that one on the head
I am really just beside myself at this point. Here the whole ESPN crew has a chance to throw out the pre-determined story lines and really let themselves shine and they are instead giving us what I believe is the worst race coverage I have ever seen. Updating us on Jimmie Johnson is the proper thing to do but the manner in which it is being done is ridiculous. If this is bothering me with my very small amount of amateur television production training received almost 20 years ago, I can only imagine how terrible it makes Mr. Daly feel.
Hitting on 'the front nose'? Is there a 'rear nose' I don't know anything about?
Nascar emphasizes that they are a joke with this caution. Why not just take breaks during the race instead.
what are we under caution for????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
They get all excited about who's going to win the race off pit road --- and then they DON'T SHOW IT !
*&%$#
MartySmithESPN
Knaus asked Johnson if he wants to run the race to completion or just until they can't make up any more spots. JJ -- "To the end."
l
nascar needs to have someone at least throw something on the track so the tv has something to show for the caution lol this is ridiculous
Conspiracy theory or not, I don't care who benefits, all debris cautions bother me equally. I would love to see a caution-free race. Don't really care if only 5 guys finish on the lead lap, it'd just be fun to see how a race would play out without manipulating it with timely cautions etc.
What are the chances that one day we'll all wake up and read a headline that NASCAR is more like the WWE than MLB/NFL/NBA? I am not a hater. I am just thinking out of the box. What were the chances today that Jimmie Johnson would crash like he did after all the media bashing the predictable chase result this week? I felt this way after Harvick won in Dale's car the week after Dale passing. I felt this way after the Hendrick win after that awful plane crash. Nascar has such a tight control on everything and the rules are so grey/subjective. Am I just cold-hearted and jaded or are we all not getting the inside joke? Just sayin'.......
We get to see the points as they run yet again and Jerry says that JJ is on the track but not nearly up to speed. What does that even really mean? One of the many meaningless phrases he tosses out.
Looks like someone's hotdog they threw on the track. It must have been a Jeff Gordon fan too.
This is utterly sad. I'm a JJ fan. I never miss a race. But I'm about to switch to football and just listen to my scanner. I could learn more by just watching Pit Command. I hope Nascar is listening.
Wait, what am I thinking???....
Sally said...
Hitting on 'the front nose'? Is there a 'rear nose' I don't know anything about?
wayyyyy too funny! we need TDP comedy tour to roll again!
How much do you want to bet Jimmie is the first guy interviewed when the race is over?
KoHoSo, imagine how Allen Bestwick feels right now? This is a sport that has consumed his life and career.
He has to sit in a box with Rusty and Brad while JP and the ESPN producer ruins the Chase for the third straight year.
I would have a stroke....
Jonathan
I dont do Fbook or Myspace..if u really want to see the now 7 1/2 month old kitten, I have twitpic links I can send you that should work for anybody. I don't protect my tweets.
Just click on my name and drop me an email.:)
@Dot
I am with you. I NEVER wish ill on any driver for wrecks but hey, it was amazing when Jeff_Gluck tweeted the race track went into PANDEMONIUM..and they are not Dega 'love the wreck freaks'....so I think the Chase needed a shake up.
Of COURSE I am glad JJ is ok..hell, I don't wish injury or illness on ANYBODY. EVER. the end.
Hey Dr. P said the big story of the day was JJ's wreck? Who knew?
David, I think that you have a pretty solid bet there. They will go to him before the winner gets out of his car.
I wouldn't want to be at the Busch family thanksgiving if they take each other out here.
how about throwing brian france on the track.
KIDDING, KIDDING. Lighten UP, folks.
Well maybe his clothes since the Emperor is not wearing any.
NO!!!!!!!!!JPM wreck and Jeff Gordon.
oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think most of us who have been fans for a long while are just sad.
At least we can use some of the video while we listen to the radio and use the online scoring to keep track.
When I think of guys like Eli Gold with Buddy Baker and the late Neil Bonnett on TNN...it's amazing that over 20 years later the coverage could go so far downhill.
@dara2k: this may have answered your query. doubt having the 24 and the 42 both spin was part of anyone's plan.
Well now. Poor Jerry Punch. What to do? What to do? That 90 point behind JJ just went to a MUCH LARGER number. Oh my. Now what??
Silence on DSPN.
Ahhh replay ABC
Well. they are certainly adding 'drama' to the crapshoot, aren't they?
Just when Gordo could gain some points. MM next?
props to AP for seeing that out the window!
he called it before we saw it
LOL does JP actually watch the race?? everyone else in the booth just threw him under the bus for suggetting the Gordo had damage..
what a joke of a broadcast
Sophia meet Karma
This is what I get for being happy JJ's car got messed up.
Poor JPM.... and Jeff g :(
Wah. on JPM's mess..hope all are ok..not heard tv
Red, I don't know we should speak so soon...Look like we just got ourselves a points race!!! That was in the plan..Nascar's plan..Just sayin'!
@ Daily Planet Editor 5:19...
I think about AB a lot as well. He's got to have one heck of an inner constitution -- or, get one heck of a paycheck -- to put up with being a part of such a poor presentation of the sport that he loves. I'm sure that goes for many of the other people both in front of and behind the camera, but AB is the one I always think of first. I'm still hurting from when they pulled him from the booth on NBC.
Bing with Carl's in car really missed that mess, didn't it? good thing they have a replay. again. ARRRGH. Not another replay of JJ's wreck! Get out the garlic!
another JJ luck charm coming through! OH No is right Sophia this sucks just when JG has some good luck boom!!!!!! this is nutz! Oh and I went to your page and saw the pics of the cat right before the pics of the dear. so cute :) I have a cat i love cats!
NOOOOOOOOOO. Tell me I'm not seeing another view of JJ's wreck? Is there nothing else going on? Oh. my. heavens. This is just beyond sad.
Juan has no brakes, in garage. They have broken truck arms, etc. lengthy repairs to come. That chassis is probably junk now
I really think it's time for Home Depot to spring for a new ad or two for Joey.
Script writer furiously scribbling again. Does he/she have any fingers left?
Those phantom "debris" cautions take out 3 more chasers to lighten JJs load.
Ok, ESPN, take notes, listen HARD.
The 48 is 120 laps down. He will not win today. We do not need to watch him limp around the track. We don't need updates.
Jeff Gordon just spun out. He did NOT hit anything, he did NOT get any damage, he is NOT in the garage or out of the race. Don't write him off yet.
Also, Kyle Busch would be the first driver in 61 years of NASCAR history to win all three races in a weekend. This is true, but if my math is right, the Trucks have only been around 15 years or so. Meaning Richard Petty couldn't win a Cup, Nationwide & Truck race all in the same season. Don't make it sound like the CWTS has been there forever.
Why do the reporters these days feel the need to come up with such stupids words in stead of just saying simple things.... "they are workign feverishly"
Do they realy think that made there report better than just saying they are working hard????
@ Daily Planet Editor 5:23...
In addition to my previous post...ironic that you mentioned Eli Gold, a man I always thought of as the consummate professional play-by-play announcer -- never a word out of place and always with the appropriate tone and comments. I thought of him just yesterday as CBS was kind enough to replay his radio description of a key play in yesterday's Alabama win over Louisiana State. How I miss his voice.
"if you're just joining us..."
Punch, here is a news flash, NOBODY is joining this joke. They are leaving. ESPN has "chased" viewers away with the JJ Show and your terrible coverage.
Makiki
Honolulu
ESPN just doesn't know what to do know that JJ is down 100 laps. It's kinda pathetic.
dara2K: i understand you're playing devil's advocate & thinking outside the box and as much as the 48 team makes me crazy w/how great they've been? i just can't accept that nascar manipulates the races to that deep an extent. phantom cautions to tighten the field? absolutey! but this? nope.
the 48 accident was, for me, just that: an accident. no racer would EVER agree to taking out another racer at speed, no matter what.
the chase became tighter when the 48 wrecked. having the 24 and the 42 then also spin and possibly lose points doesn't do much to make the points tighter. the two of them staying on the rack w/the 5 and making up points on the 48? possibly.
again, i get your point but it's not one i can share.
and not to drop and opinion and run but i have to do exactly that: time for the trip to the station. have a good rest of the race, gang! will catch up later tonight!
Thanks for the steaming hint Sophia.... Amazing.... PRN just did a full 1-43 through the field.... Maybe ESPN should just stream PRN for the live coverage....save some money on the booth personalities...
@Dot
I think the fact the scripwriter uses an etch a sketch may save fingers.
What were those things we wrote on as a kid..like a clip board thing..wrote on it and lifted plastic and words disappeared and you started over again? can't remember that contraption
@Jonathan.
Glad u saw the pics. I love critters. Deer in back yard were amazing and took 55 pics of them :)
Stewart has been an amazing find after loss of 12 year old cat. And he is SMOKY gray and fast..thus his name after Tony S :)
Sam is in the garage....what a mess of a day.
I can't read the laps font..how much more of this mess?
They need to update the fact that the 48 us down laps??? it has been like 2 minutes since they last said it...my god
a certain fave driver is in the top 10 but I don't dare mention until the race is OVER.
@ Makiki...
In all fairness, especially at this time of year, there are probably a lot of people coming into the race telecast at all times as they move away from football. I would just encourage Dr. Punch to mix up his phrasing instead of saying it the same way over and over again.
AJ Allmendinger in the top 10 and no mention.
@ rich...take it back! Don't say it out loud....it's a curse!
Anon
ur welcome for streaming hint :)
@KoHoSo
I see your point, but, will they stay?

speaking of overplayed ads, if I have to see Tyler Hansborough rescue that dog one more time...
I went out worked in the garage a while and came in to see the same ole same ole. Reminded of JJ wreck twice now. Wow, what a mess.
Sorry ladies, I took it back
120 laps to go per PRN
@ dear Sophia, I remember those things. Wow, haven't seen one in years. I wonder what kids would think of them today?
Re: JP and just joining our coverage. What he should say is. "in case you just flipped back from the football game".
I just turned on computer a little whike ago. Caught up w/twitter & comments here. Have TV on in background-barely watch it. Laid on couch most of afternoon & read 2 trashy romance novels. Saw the JJ wreck-looked up because radio guys got excited. Noticed lots of jj updates on repairs. if Kryle wins, means I don't have to watch VL or TWIN. never listened to any of my sirius this morn, since I knew it would be all shrub. beautiful day in MI for Nov. 60 degrees. Enjoyed the day outside w/my dog. Dark now, so here I am. Awful coverage, btw. Still full screen pit stops-guess that's one that really blows my mind. I'm ready for 2010.
@koho they don't update us on 3/4 of the field the entire race, the points leader though needs an update every 2 minutes?????
remember when the race each day was the story and the championship was the secondary concern....hmmmm i miss those days
Tony Stewart in 5th, when did that happen.
@ Makiki...
They just might if they know a little about NASCAR and realize that this race could be a big turning point in the expected coronation of King Jimmie. Then again, when they tune in and see a broadcast that is about as disjointed of one that I have ever seen on a supposed top-notch network, I'm not so sure.
rich
I missed ur take back comment darn it! or maybe not. Just walked around the house..
I HATE new time change..getting dark.:(
The thing I am hearing on Twitter and in email is that fans are walking on this telecast.
Never heard that before.
AGAIN??????????? Make it stop. I need a drink.
How many replays of the JJ wreck up til now?
Chad in full screen. AARRGG!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my god. Two screens both showing jimmy, chad, etc. This is disgusting.
OK it's official, time to get the chicks out of the pits......
Richard Petty was right, the woman don't belong there
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I cannot believe this.
I am totally flabbergasted.
What on earth can anyone say?
More of the wreck, etc.
Lord, deliver us.
And a wreck happens and they have no clue. REPLAY
Is there a good football game anywhere?
@ Anonymous 5:41...
I don't disagree with you one bit. The information and presentation between the necessary updates and announcements is abysmal, atrocious, horrendous, pathetic, and more words that I won't use on a family-oriented blog. ;-)
Funny Chad said he had to go, caution.
Looked like Jeff Burton's wreck during practice. They won't stop talking and SHOWING JJ.
Once again, missed cars coming off pit road.
TRL there are a few. NO-Carolina should be a good 2nd half, Lions lead by 4 over Seattle, Giants and Chargers are tied, SanFran leads by 7 over Tenn. All the late games have been competitive...
marcos got 4 tires and track bar adjustment and gasoline
Ok as soon as we are back from commercial I want to know what place JJ is in. I don't care about the top 10.
Come on JP tell me where JJ is.
Missed every race off pit road under caution....every single one.
This would be a real stretch for a conspiracy but maybe Gordon really wants JJ to win the chase so he's doing everything to finish further back today.

I don't disagree with you one bit. The information and presentation between the necessary updates and announcements is abysmal, atrocious, horrendous, pathetic, and more words that I won't use on a family-oriented blog. ;-)

Oh, and by the way, the 5 team members DID NOT assist Jimmie's team in the garage.
The ESPN pictures never seem to match the race PRN is calling. Perhaps the production truck could use PRN as their spotters.
pretty bad when the crew chief of a car running over 100 laps down cares more about what is going on ON the race track the television crews do.....
127 laps remain? What? I thought it wasa 120 a bit ago.
Hmmm...made lemon cake last night, dark, we went for walk, and just heating up left over for dinners..
Oh, is there a race on. Hey they're FINALLY showing a reply of JJ race.
JD
if we hadn't done what we had to do earlier, it was dark, and the Bengals game over, wouldn't be here.
I'm still bummed Juan crashed.
I seem to remember everyone being upset with Fox and their lovefest with Kyle Busch. This is worse!
@ TexasRaceLady 5:49...
LOL!!!
Oh, we forgot "putrid," too. :-)
And people used to complain that Jr. got too much TV time when he wasn't running up front. Guess this should show them!
ok, i am back after my 30 min. snooze...
