Very solid effort all night:<BR/><BR/>- No pre-taped junk under green. Not once was the screen covered up with junk. No highlights from previous races, no pre-taped comments and gigantic head-shots of the drivers, no full-screen point standings as of now graphics, etc.<BR/><BR/>- The director looked for racing on the track all night and didn't follow a script.<BR/><BR/>- They were all over the Kyle Busch brake-checking allegations. Rival spotters and NASCAR officials accused Kyle of brake-checking and ESPN immediately showed proof that he didn't and had DJ clearly explain the rules regarding restarting as the leader.<BR/><BR/>- DJ did a great job looking out the window and catching incidents that began off-camera.<BR/><BR/>- Almost no commercials after the rain! Yes it was a fluke and presumably only happened because of the delay but you can't beat 2 minutes of commercials in the last 2 hours of the broadcast!<BR/><BR/>Very good job ESPN. PLEASE do the same exact thing in the Cup race and for the rest of the year in both series. Please please please please! No pre-taped junk, no hype, no storylines. Just televise the racing on the track, JUST LIKE YOU DID TODAY.stricklinfan82https://www.blogger.com/profile/01808897974344304657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-39949297574632184322008-10-11T00:31:00.002-04:002008-10-11T00:31:00.002-04:00Red,Did you go to the baseball game?
