Here we go again. Rain delayed the race until Monday and the good news is that there is no precipitation falling at the track. Jet dryers are working to get things dry for the race start shortly after Noon ET.
This is hurry-up mode for NASCAR, so expect things to be different. There will be no long pre-race show and possibly no invocation or anthem heard on TV. NASCAR is trying to get two races in today and that should be a challenge.
Mike Joy returns to call the Sprint Cup Series action with Darrell Waltrip and Larry McReynolds in the booth. Waltrip had a long day on Sunday in the Hollywood Hotel working on the air during the hours of rain delay programming.
Down on pit road are Steve Byrnes, Matt Yocum, Krista Voda and Dick Berggren. Jeff Hammond and Chris Myers are in the Hollywood Hotel.
Texas should prove to be interesting on TV. The track is fast, but passing has been at a premium once the field gets stretched out. It should be the restarts and caution flag pitstops that provide the biggest scrambling of the field.
Staying wide enough to show the pack of cars jostling on the restarts has been a challenge for FOX this season. Cutting to tight shots and using in-car cameras long before things get strung out has resulted in many passes and incidents having to be seen on replays. Keeping it simple today is going to have big benefits.
Darrell Waltrip has once again has a long weekend. When he is tired, the result has been scattered commentary that often happens when he talks overtop of Joy and McReynolds. It's been a tough year for DW, it's almost like he is trying too hard.
Sometimes, these Monday races run very clean. This may be the case today as several of the Cup drivers are doing double-duty and racing in the Nationwide Series race that follows. If weather again threatens, all bets are off as the field may be racing hard to get to the halfway point.

Hey all, at 11AM track drying continues and there are some weepers being attended to by the crew.
ReplyDeleteCars are on the grid and driver intros are on schedule.
Top 10 starters: Stewart, Hornish, Biffle, Johnson, Kahne, Burton, Ky. Busch, Bowyer, Earnhardt Jr., Newman.
ReplyDeleteThis could be one of the best broadcasts for Fox this year, Monday races are sometimes less loaded with gimmicks than the Sunday ones.
ReplyDeleteS&P prediction is #55, #66 and #09. This is one of Max Papis' scheduled races and Joe Nemechek has a sponsor. A few of the regular S&P teams were outqualified by the part-time teams this weekend.
TV scheduling update for Canadian viewers wanting to see the Nationwide Series race: no live coverage, but TSN2 will be showing the race on tape-delay at 10:30pm this evening. For those who can't see that airing, Speed will have an encore on Thursday at noon.
ReplyDeleteGee, since poor 'ol Waldrip had such a long day, maybe he could just go home so we could enjoy the race!!!
ReplyDeleteJD, I didn't see where I could add this comment about MM. He sounded pretty ticked off with the reporters this weekend asking him about next year and the year after, especially since KK's announcement mentions him in the #5 car. I wish someone would get more info on this and let us know. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAgree with MV, usually these are the best broadcasts Fox does. Think they realize it's hardcore race fans tuning in.
ReplyDeleteI'll be here for a bit but I'll have to catch the rest of it and the NW race on Sirius. Got the Tivo set in case it turns out to be worth it. I'm going to be dealing with the traffic mess up there for the rest of the day.
Have a feeling we could have several big cautions as the younger drivers get used to the spoiler on a fast track.
@bevo - I think Fox should cater to the hardcore fans all the time, not just on Monday. If the coverage is good for the hardcore fans, new fans would enjoy it as well. We don't need to be treated like idiots or fans with a short attention span just in case some new fans could be driven away because they don't understand the basics of the sport.
ReplyDelete@MV- Totally agree. The past few years I've started watching some EPL games even though I had no idea what the strategy was and only the most basic understanding of the rules of soccer. The thing that sucked me in was the passion of the fans and the way the announcers called the action. They don't explain the basics over and over but I've picked up on what's going on and did a little bit of reading to learn the sport.
ReplyDeleteWonder if we get the no invocation or anthem coverage today?
ReplyDelete@bevo - Good job by the network covering soccer. With Fox, we get the feeling that we've been stuck in Grade 1 for the last 10 years for the benefit of new fans that come and go every year.
ReplyDelete#20 car to the rear engine change.
ReplyDeleteThe stage is still on the start/finish line and pre-race ceremonies are starting now.
ReplyDeleteGlad we got the opening ceremonies.
ReplyDeleteThat right there folks is how you sing the anthem
ReplyDeleteInvocation and anthem did happen today. Charley Pride did a nice job with the singing, too.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see and hear Charlie Pride again.
ReplyDeleteOh crap! Hollywood Hotel still there. Forget my earlier post.
ReplyDelete@bevo - Hollywood Hotel is not as annoying when it's mainly used for race recaps, it's the never-ending pre-race circus that gets old.
ReplyDeleteWhat was that starting command? Something about Tony Stewart and then, drivers, start your engines???
ReplyDeleteNo clue, anyone figure that starting command out?
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing the command was given by a die-hard Tony fan. LOL
ReplyDeleteShe won a contest by Samsung
ReplyDeleteI turned on the TV heard that WWE crap and turned off the sound. Will turn it back on when they take the green. Can only watch about 20 minutes before I have to leave, maybe back later.
ReplyDeleteThat's the most good words for Goodyear from Smoke ever
ReplyDeleteWho misses the DirecTV head to head brackets already?
ReplyDeleteCome on Nan, DW is missing you already!
ReplyDeleteJD, wash your mouth out.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that lady thinks Tony is not a gentleman, so maybe she's not a Tony fan.
ReplyDeleteWhy did front row joe have to go to the back?
ReplyDeleteDW already on my nerves...
ReplyDelete@Charlie --- He may have concentrated on q'ing, and didn't feel comfortable starting in the middle of the pack.
ReplyDeleteLike I said David, when he gets tired he is a mess.
ReplyDeleteYou would think FOX would tell us why front row joe went to the back.
ReplyDeleteIn car cams are working.
This better not turn into a Jimmy show.. Already I've heard his name more than a dozen times..
ReplyDeleteIs Joe an S&P car?
ReplyDeleteSo is he always tired now-a-days JD?
ReplyDeleteLOL. Sorry, DW has really really rubbed me the wrong way this season.
Montoya flying, field very strung out already
Blaney already a lap down, off track
ReplyDelete@JD - Not sure if Nemechek is a S&P, he has a sponsor, but he's been known to park even with a sponsor on the car.
ReplyDeleteConway and Gilliland being out run by S&P cars
ReplyDeleteAs for Joe, answer simply is yes. Though this race is weird and has one of the highest purses of the season
@David - One question with Joe has to be whether or not he's up to running 801 miles today. If his focus is Nationwide, he may park early in this race.
ReplyDeleteJoe still on lead lap.. Not a S&P yet..
ReplyDeleteAren't the S&P guys trying not to be the first and get impounded?
ReplyDeleteMV, that is a great point. I anticipate they will park though. Probably just to build enough resources to race next week.
ReplyDeleteJD you remember what happened last week though, they were coming in, sitting in the car and waiting for someone else to come in. Then they'd go out and run more laps and that went on for an hour and ahalf till the PRISM cars broke.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna spend the next commercial to commercial coverage and count how many times Fox mentions the 48 team..
ReplyDeleteAre MJ and DW watching the same race as we are?
ReplyDeleteBlaney back out 15 laps down
ReplyDelete@JD - After what happened to Phil Parsons last week, running all these laps and still being the first car out, maybe he's cutting his losses and volunteering to be the impounded car.
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't they re-air the segment with Pizzi and Mark Martin? That was HILARIOUS!
ReplyDeleteI'm on u-verse in Houston. No sound on HD channel, but sound on regular feed.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else loose sound?
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteps. I think I will keep watching HD feed!!
ReplyDeleteWow, FOX got that transponder info out very quickly I believe. Kudos there
ReplyDeleteChecked out HotPass on Directv. They are doing "head to head" for HP. Cancelled DVR recording. Two drivers occupy bottom screens, FOX upper left, info in upper right.
ReplyDeleteNo thanks. I want to watch one driver, my driver, thank you. Know it is for free. But paid in the past. Would pay if I could get radio call, silence when scanner comes on to actually hear the scanner conversation.
I might even take the broadcast booth announcing if they would just not play scanner and booth on top of one another. Dumb!
@Anon 12:38pm - Because you were the only one laughing!
ReplyDelete66, 55, and 09 all off track
ReplyDeleteLarry is being a lot more forceful in this telecast. I'm surprised.
ReplyDeleteHow was the first restart? Don't know. Doing the crank it up was more important.
ReplyDeleteSame old. Tight shots and in-cars.
ReplyDeleteProblem with the Fox ticker, showing #66 McDowell in 39th place, he's 42nd and 9 laps down.
ReplyDelete^^ What Charlie said
ReplyDeleteJoe pulled in
ReplyDeleteHm. So we're going to be seeing close-ups of Jimmie Johnson all day. And nary a mention of Junior hanging out in fourth and about to battle with KyBu.
ReplyDeleteShould come back from commercial with a battle for lead
ReplyDeleteSo, after an enthusiastic start it sounds like things are settling into a familiar pattern
ReplyDeleteOk, in that short coverage between commercials they mentioned "The 48" or "Jimmy" 10 times.. I wonder where Edwards, Martin, Gordon, and a slew of other drivers are located.
ReplyDelete18 falling back, complaining of loose. They will be going back on their changes they made last stop.
ReplyDeleteMcDowell back out of the garage.
ReplyDeleteJohnP, there are other cars on the track?
ReplyDeleteFOX has only left the top 5 3 or 4 times today. It is really sad to see this early
ReplyDeleteI agree with West Coast Diane.
ReplyDeleteThe Hot Pass coverage should have
the drivers audio overiding the
booth guys. I can change channels
if I want to hear them.
BTW the promo for that new Fox show "The Good Guys" is set in DFW and they're still here filming.
ReplyDeleteAre they getting paid to advertise Hendrick Motorports? It would explain a heckuva lot.
ReplyDeleteDavid, the get beyond the top 5 to spotlight another Hendrick driver and a future Hendrick driver.
ReplyDeleteAt least the camera work on that three-way battle was good; they didn't cut to the in-car until the battle was over.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great time to get a through the field because we have been running 30 green flag laps, drivers really have an idea what their car is doing and it would be an excellent spotlight of drivers having abnormally good runs or bad runs today
ReplyDeleteSure, finally they start to show some racing instead of tight shots and they go to commercial.
ReplyDeleteThat explanation of Mark Martin's sponsor was a bit useless, I think most fans know Hendrick has dozens of car dealerships. To copy some of the drivers' favorite saying,... it is what it is.
ReplyDeleteNemecheck and Bliss back out minus 13 and 23 respectively
ReplyDeleteCommercial? Now?
ReplyDeleteTexasRaceLady: Sometimes I wonder.
ReplyDelete@Martin--yes they do 'hurry up' mode on rain delay/rain interrupted rebroadcasts. They generally do a welcome/update and then get on with it. No wasting time especially since the schedule for the affiliates is thrown off. Instead of wasting an hour redoing a pre-race they get on with it.
ReplyDeleteCRAP! Running behind and missed the anthem :( I haven't seen Mr. Pride in FOREVER! :(
Yes as Bevo said they said if you dropped off a used cell phone for recycling you were entered into several contests. One was to drive in the pace car and another was to give the command. I forget what the 3rd one was seems like it was a garage pass.
Robby Gordon, unscheduled green flag stop
ReplyDeleteWell, watching the race with totally no sound including engine noises isn't so great. I'm off to wade through u-verse's helpless line to try and get the hd sound back.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm still glad I switched from DirecTV. With HotPass doing that bracket line up, it certainly was not worth staying for!!
#David - Unless Kvapil has problems, he's going to bump Robby Gordon back out of the top-35, he's only 7 points behind him.
ReplyDeleteYAY, a split screen for green flag pit stops!
ReplyDeleteto bad for Vickers.. Good camera work though..
ReplyDeleteThat story on the #55 is a bunch of bull, the #55 team had zero chance to get back into the top-35.
ReplyDeletePretty good pitstop coverage!
ReplyDeleteMV, that is why when Larry Mac chimed in, he was speaking the truth. It was about being in the top 41 teams so they would not get sent home in case of rain
ReplyDeleteAnd by "accolades" LM means "benefits".
ReplyDeleteLooks like Larry heard a new word this week. :)
WOW.. JR's pit crew smoked everyone.. Did it in 5.7 seconds then the cameras went away.. That's fast!! Lol.. Why show the timing, if they don't follow thru with it??
ReplyDeleteNice that they're talking about cars which have gone to the garage, and they even mentioned the Phoenix roulette, though they still can't seem to say "start and park."
ReplyDelete@Andrew - True. Dave Marcis, Jimmy Means and J.D. McDuffie were "independent drivers"... McDowell, Blaney and Bliss are "start-and-park drivers".
ReplyDeleteARGH. How many times do we have to say that in-car cameras are useless for showing passes before they'll listen?
ReplyDeleteTight shots. Must not be any racing going on.
ReplyDelete@David - About the #55 car, they really only have to be in the top 42 to make the race at Talladega if qualifying is rained out. Elliott is not running Talladega, so only the #09 could bump a car out of the lineup due to its win last year.
ReplyDeleteAgain too much constant promotion and too much DW
ReplyDeleteNot so good with finding the wreck this time.
ReplyDeleteReally poor camera/director work
ReplyDeleteWhat are they watching?
ReplyDelete@Andrew - With all that smoke in the Jeff Gordon shot, it was a bad move to switch to an entirely different camera. They should have just moved the first camera to where the smoke was coming from.
ReplyDeleteAnother wreck in replay!!
ReplyDeleteIs the race over with yet. What a pain to watch.
ReplyDeleteKnock on wood, this is still better than the coverage last week at Phoenix. So far.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to keep up with the race with Trackpass and I've got no audio. Anyone else?
ReplyDeleteNice to hear a tech explanation which is clear, concise, and didn't involve the cutaway car!
ReplyDeleteGREAT job not hitting anything Sam!!
ReplyDeleteNo one else saying Trackpass has a problem. Can you reboot one time?
ReplyDeleteAnon 1:25, I'm running Trackpass Pitcommand. No audio problems here.
ReplyDeleteNew camera idea this race. Lets use one camera and hold it still and watch the cars go by.
ReplyDeleteTo bad there isn't any racing going on.
When I updated my java a few weeks ago, TP did not like it and I had to reinstall java. but if it is working without audio, deft try and reboot or just run pitcommand then fire up scanner on a different browser if you can.
ReplyDeleteInteresting race so far
The excitement has flat-lined for FOX. They finally have Junior in the lead, stories in the field and lots of strategy going on....and nothing from them!
ReplyDeleteCome on Mike Joy! How about calling a couple of laps of play by play!
ReplyDeleteHoly stuff.. Larry Mac pronounced Keslowski's name right!! Wow...
ReplyDeleteGood racing and they switch to the Toyota cars commercial package.
ReplyDelete24 fastest car on track but didn't get that info from TV
ReplyDelete24 still fastest and TV just acknowledged it.
ReplyDeleteStill no audio on uverse hd channel!!
ReplyDeleteI tried the online tech support chat. The guy there was useless... told me to call my local fox station because it was there problem!!
So I had to endure the automated phone support and get a live person who at least reported the problem.
This is the second time that the hd channel has lost the sound during a race. Maybe directv pulls their plug behind the trailer at the race!
Man, wonder what the NASCAR execs think about this lackluster telecast.
ReplyDeleteOnly excitement is from Larry Mac!
Ann, that is just weird. Audio is the easy part of an HD feed like that.
ReplyDeleteTo bad they don't get as excited about the real race as they do this bracket stuff.
ReplyDeleteAlmost missed another lead change.
ReplyDeleteJust hit mute on tv.. Kicked up MRN on the radio on the computer..
ReplyDeleteJR Gordon side by side.. Gordon new leader
ReplyDeleteThis bracket stuff is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteEnough of this fantasy land bracket crap! This is a REAL race, we don't give a damn about Fox's contrived brackets. Don't let anyone fool you either, this is a FOX SPORTS fantasy game that you need a FOXSPORTS.COM ACCOUNT to play. directv.com/nascar just re-directs you to Fox's website.
ReplyDeleteGET OVER YOUR DAMN SELVES FOX! Stop making these broadcasts about YOU YOU YOU YOU!
Broadcast this race like a practice. No play by play. Get excited about bracket racing. Use lots of tight shots and in-cars.
ReplyDeleteYou know, this could be a really interesting comparison against ESPN if the latter pulls off a stellar race.
ReplyDeleteSound back on. Phone support 1, online chat support 0!
ReplyDeletebad news is the sound is of broadcast crew doing a bad job... but at least there are racing sounds!! Hard to watch a race in total silence with no vrooooms.
Thanks to all for the feedback & suggestions on the Trackpass audio problems. It must be a local PC issue 'cause a reboot and browser changes didn't help. I'll keep trying and hopefully get it fixed before the checkers fly.
ReplyDeleteDo the drivers and crew have a deal with FOX so they will not race each other during green pit stops.
ReplyDeletesince I'm "watching" this race through your eyes on the blog and the lap x lap coverage on nascar.com -- how many laps IS this race?
ReplyDeleteBased on what I'm reading, I'm ever so glad I didn't take the day off to watch it on TV!
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteJust between us girls....the DirecTV thing is a marketing ploy to develop a new emailing list by using the personal info you must give in order to enter.
ReplyDeleteThe lower prizes are junk and the top prize is completely impossible to win.
DirecTV just raised rates across the board, but claimed to be broke when VERSUS wanted a bigger payment.
If you just take a minute to look at the entire concept of NASCAR brackets, it makes absolutely no sense.
334 total laps make up the race.
ReplyDeleteGina, Doug Rice and the PRN guys are calling a very different race...as usual.
ReplyDeleteFox race broadcast starting now here in Honolulu. Had to sit thru endless local morning show....it's 8am here now.
ReplyDeleteI've been "watching" the race on TDP and FoxTrax.
Makiki
Twitter is reporting that Vickers is out of gas and trying to get back to pit road. And FOX goes to commercial despite the possibility of him not making it. Um?
ReplyDelete48 fastest since that round of pit stops
ReplyDeleteI think I've been reading too much Daly Planet--I had a dream that I was explaining to someone how Larry Mac mispronounces Keselowski, lol. I can't comment on TV coverage because I'm at work, but PRN is doing a good job, they're running through the field right now, and they talked earlier about Gossage's S&P comments. BTW, Larry eventually got Jamie McMurray's name right, so maybe he's finally got Brad's now....we can hope. Probably bothers us more than it would Brad though.
ReplyDeletePRN? Not MRN? Oh ok, just listening to it through the local country station via internet. Timing is at least a minute off from TV.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are cracking me up!
ReplyDeleteIt almost seems like FOX is surprised when two cars are near each other. It messes up their TV plans.
Thanks, Charlie and JD -- I'm not supposed to stream audio either, but would love to listen to at least the radio feed, even if it is PRN. Don't like them as much as MRN, but better than TV!
ReplyDeleteCharlie, thanks for the humor. It's keeping me awake.
ReplyDeleteWhen they use the bummer cam and move the camera quickly I think the car is spinning out.
ReplyDeleteJunior was not the first on the last round of pit stops. Mark Martin was. But let's not let a little thing like facts interfere with the Junior love!
ReplyDeleteIs it weird to think that I can hardly wait for the ESPN race?
ReplyDelete"Look at this traffic jam!"
ReplyDeleteuh no, I can't look at it... your fancy graffic is in the way!!
HMS domination = one of the main reasons why NASCAR is suffering ...
ReplyDeleteWhat is the reason for a tight shot on the leader during pit stops?
ReplyDelete@John--PRN is Bruton's SMI tracks and MRN is NA$CAR's ISC tracks :)
ReplyDeleteLOL @ Ann_Ominus!
ReplyDeleteHad the wrong car as the leader but what the hey. Is it really that important.
ReplyDeleteFor those of you who thought to yourselves "why would Fox go to commercial when the 48 is bearing down on the 88 with several laps fresher tires?", guess what happened about 10 seconds after the producer rolled that commercial....
ReplyDeleteSomething tells me the truck really doesn't care though...
They never even bothered to show the pass for the lead when they got back from commercial.
ReplyDeleteJuan is very unhappy with his car right now
ReplyDeleteGymmie, Ok thanks.. Thats why I like this site so much, everyone knows there stuff.. And is polite about it.. I pulled the radio broadcast up via our local country station and it just says WKTTFM.. No Mrn or Prn.. Guess I had a flashback to when Alan Bestwick was with Mrn.. Lol.. Listened to him so many times at Dover..
ReplyDeleteSome debate on the 42 radio if they had a tire going down, felt wayyyy too loose after that stop and was very vocal about his problems. Unsure if the right rear is down or if it went down after hitting the wall, etc. They feel they are killed on the right side
ReplyDeleteDon't like that two-car strategy this late in the race? What does Larry Mac mean?
ReplyDeleteI think Larry said Two Tire strategy, not two car.
ReplyDeleteAnon, thanks. I couldn't imagine I'd heard him correctly.
ReplyDeleteDo you really think there are 90,000 people there?
Jr's pit crew needs some practice. They're always losing places for him during pit stops.
ReplyDeleteA very important restart and they do crank it up which means you don't get to see it.
ReplyDeleteTracy, people with NW tickets got into the Cup race free. I actually can believe the attendance is decent
ReplyDeleteReporter Jeff Gluck says more like 50.
ReplyDeleteHey! Booth! Smoke! JJ's got a tire rub!
ReplyDeleteTook 'em long enough. I'm loving Jeff's driving today, though!
ReplyDeleteFinally, someone with the cajones to not back down to the 48. I'm getting sick of the drivers bowing to JJ.
ReplyDeleteAs much as HMS domination is something I want to end, the idea of Jeff Gordon being the guy to knock off JJ is a pretty cool one I'd say...
ReplyDelete24 says take no prisoners
ReplyDeleteJD - well it may be weird to be waiting for ESPN's coverage, but honestly, after the mess that the Fox coverage has become TNT will be a real relief.
ReplyDeleteI say, anybody but JJ
ReplyDeleteI believe Mike Joy was wrong about
ReplyDeleteJeff Burton.
In the "old days", I believe passing was not allowed on
pit road. Nascar could care less
now.
Funny how the funky bunch said Stewart's 2 tires was a short term solution but Burtons no tires was amazing?!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear JJ's whining and Gordon's responses from the radio on TV.
ReplyDeleteLol, Kyle Busch not happy, he had paper on the grille and when he ran Carl down it flew off and now he is dropping back again. The paper was his downforce
ReplyDeleteI got that Sue!
ReplyDeleteWe have to trust the booth monkeys about their tires. They were so right last week.
ReplyDeleteThanks, FOX! Both for the correction and the radio.
ReplyDeleteMissed another lead change.
ReplyDeleteWhen will Mike Joy start doing Play by Play.
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice if they talked about Matt Kenseth's mini-rally
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or does it seem like we've missed more lead changes and caution flags to commercials than usual this year?
ReplyDeleteWasn't that amazing how DW wiggled out of that last week?
ReplyDeleteOh, who gives a rat's red rumpass "where" Hendrick got his first win ??
ReplyDeleteA LOT of people do NOT care ...
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI stand corrected. Nice job FOX.
ReplyDeleteYW John :)
ReplyDeleteThe producer is not timing the commercials to the race, but just to the clock on the wall.
ReplyDeleteWe missed a lot, including key lead changes that we could all see coming.
Not saying they are mailing this one in, but it surely is a Hendrick lovefest right now.
The Speed Channel PxP on the Indy race yesterday was 1000x more exciting then what I'm hearing today on Fox..
ReplyDeleteDW has lots of practice wiggling out of the stuff he says when he runs his mouth without engaging his brain.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious to know when you folks would like Fox to take the commercial breaks. Figure they have to fit in probably 45 minutes of commercials during the broadcast. It's not like they have control over when cars are going to wreck or pass each other.... What would YOU do if you had to make the calls? I don't know that I could do a better job.
ReplyDeleteExcuse me.. Versus channel
ReplyDeleteMike Joy has outlived his usefulness. He needs to retire or get fired.
ReplyDeleteAll race long its been a 48 lovefest. From DW saying Chad is the wizard and needs a curtain to JJ being the best closer.
ReplyDeleteJohnP, Versus did the Indycar race yesterday and Speed did the Formula One race but you are right, they were both broadcast more energetically than this
ReplyDeleteanon at 3:00,
ReplyDeleteA.) This problem doesn't exist with the IndyCars because they have side-by-side ads, which all NASCAR networks should have by now.
B.) You can't control cautions falling but you can watch the race and hold off on a break when a lead change is obviously about to happen (like Vegas with the 24-48 at the end and earlier today with the 88-48)
HOW did Sammy get the damage on the front of the car ?!?!
ReplyDeleteI don't think they ever said / showed what happened ... Cause it wasn't there after the spin ...
