FOX has done all the work for him.<br /><br />We've been very patient for the last 3yrs trying to get the networks to listen to us --- the average fan. ESPN to their credit has made changes.<br /><br />This day's telecast from FOX is the pits. We've talked this season until we're blue in the face about their fascination with roof cam, face cam, bumper cam, and single cars in focus instead of the racing. <br /><br />I'm not throwing in the towel, I'm too busy throwing up in it.TexasRaceLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11498201182790755768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-63081560222730073042010-05-16T14:45:07.303-04:002010-05-16T14:45:07.303-04:00Jr 7 laps down? anything said about it?Jr 7 laps down? anything said about it?The Loose Wheelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06048709313597675807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-8025567496720656932010-05-16T14:44:54.535-04:002010-05-16T14:44:54.535-04:00I've been emailing a friend & tried the ra...I've been emailing a friend & tried the race on the big tv.
