I am blown away. Great job in the booth...and believe me, can't believe I'm saying that...it is like a conversation between 3 people discussing track/car info, insight on drivers, some side stories. Sounds so "NATURAL"!! Do you understand that ESPN CUP Guys!!! And they have excitement in their voices when people are close to making pole, miss the pole, slip up, take a nice line. Oops, got to the Marc & Joey show...not showing car on track...oops, Joey in a small box. Showing car at end of run. Not sure of that sequence. Now Josh Wise in small box. That's good.<BR/><BR/>Just need to cut all the stuff on the screen down and show more track and car.<BR/><BR/>But thank you for the booth...even Rusty sounds good. Like Randy and Marty doing good job. Again NATURAL, NO SCRIPT!!! This group is not having any problems finding stuff to talk or get excited about and it's just a single car going round a track. The race should offer so many more opportunities for this type of booth dialogue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-68789706922618975372008-10-25T13:13:00.000-04:002008-10-25T13:13:00.000-04:00Not NASCAR but,be advised the IRL is also relegate...Not NASCAR but,<BR/><BR/>be advised the IRL is also relegated to ESPN Classic and ESPN360 today, 10:30 p.m. ET from Surfer's Paradise.<BR/><BR/>JD- who will be on the call for that?<BR/><BR/>Marty from some ABC affiliate in Tennessee?

Also they were sure to mention who was unsponsored, or who will be. It was nice to hear Zaxby's & other sponsors who will be back.

I mean if they are going to put it some place where many can't see it what is the point. It's not just the Memphis race ,it's the way they seem to treat NASCAR as a whole.I don't bother with the other ESPN programing because of the lack of respect they have shown to the drivers, fans, and sport in general. I get Classic but will watch on SPEED. I just don't get it, why treat your product so poorly.If they did not want it why go through so much to have it, is it sour grapes from being left out of the 2001 program package? It really does not make any sense to treat the sport with so little respect then expect to have any credibility.Thanks from me to JD on the program listings, and all you have done.
