It's not a problem of attention span, it is that four hours is a LOT of time to fill up on a broadcast.<br /><br />I used to listen to Red Sox games in the car a lot. It wasn't unusual for Joe & Jerry to spend a couple of innings running through as list of third basemen with the most home runs, by state of birth or something like that to fill time in a blowout. That kind of thing can be endearing or annoying depending, but with a two, two and a half hour race you don't have to worry about it.Matt TSBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-17147467018415663262009-05-24T17:06:15.746-04:002009-05-24T17:06:15.746-04:00The main thing that comes to mind after watching t...The main thing that comes to mind after watching the Indy 500 is ABC/ESPN telecast an auto race and Fox telecasts cartoons. <br /><br />Yes NASCAR watching the Indy 500 today has made me realize how cartoonish NA$CAR has become the last few.

Between the TV broadcast and the online viewer that is available for every race, that is how it should be done. The "Race Control" at IndyCar.com is free and its better then racebuddy, with live telemetry and the radio broadcast as well as what they call the "leader view" that circulates through the field. Also, you get four in-car cams. That's five camera angles (if you count ESPN/ABC).<br /><br />Plus, I don't buy the excuse from ESPN that they can't get sponsors to agree to the side-by-side thing like they have in IndyCar. I am sure if they really wanted to negotiate, they could.<br /><br />Great job by the crew for the IndyCar race. If we could get that top-of-the-line coverage in NASCAR, you won't see the ratings in the toliet.<br /><br />Also, they pulled it off without Digger! FOX, take the dang hit already!!!Kylehttp://fanzonesports.net/nascar/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-75652444647917030202009-05-24T16:48:45.793-04:002009-05-24T16:48:45.793-04:00Thanks again for stopping by everyone!
