Dr. Punch had a renewed level of energy throughout the race (especially at the finish) and even called out incidents happening before they appeared on camera. Andy Petree was solid as always. And I really thought Rusty Wallace had a spectacular night.<BR/><BR/>You hear it about drivers all the time that it's like someone hits a switch and all of a sudden they 'get it'. I think Rusty had that happen tonight. He was on top of everything tonight. He led many discussions in the booth, carried most of the replays and explanations about what we were seeing, and was the first to jump on things like instantly relating the 59's wall bumping to the 60's earlier in the race and relating the 32's crash to the 88's earlier in the race. From my point of view he was the star of the show tonight.<BR/><BR/>I also thought Jamie Little did an outstanding job with the interviews. She seemed to ask all the right questions to all of the disappointed drivers from where I sat.<BR/><BR/>Finally, the last lap camera work was OUTSTANDING. I absolutely loved the handling of showing the field coming off turn 4 with the wide shot and holding that camera at the line to show the rest of the field race to the line. Fans that wanted to see the winner saw him cross the line, while at the same time fans of other drivers further back got to follow their driver's battle to the line all the way from turn 4 to the checkered flag.<BR/><BR/>I certainly hope Fox does the exact same thing tomorrow night. I certainly hope we don't see another case of either focusing on the winner alone and never showing anyone else finish, or the more recent approach of zooming in on the winner and after seeing him cross the line finally cutting back to the wide shot and catching just the back-half of the top 10 finishing the race.<BR/><BR/>Staying with one wide camera shot the entire time is absolutely the best approach to this. We saw every car finish live. Not just a winner. Not just the winner and the 6th place finisher on back. We saw everyone, which was PERFECT.stricklinfan82https://www.blogger.com/profile/01808897974344304657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-29695278912484791582008-05-09T23:15:00.000-04:002008-05-09T23:15:00.000-04:00FANTASTIC CAMERA WORK SHOWING THE FINISH LINE!!Tha...FANTASTIC CAMERA WORK SHOWING THE FINISH LINE!!<BR/><BR/>Thank you ESPN!!<BR/><BR/>Only a few more races of Fox's rubbish of "Gypping us of the end!!"<BR/><BR/>now if ESPN would only lose the ticker for the race.
