King Brian's family needs to impeach him because he is so arrogant and greedy, he does not realize without the fans we would not have NASCAR. Brian France is ignoring the TV issues and hollywoodizing NASCAR is just turning away fans. Also, the NASCAR fan council, i am not a member of btw, has homgenizing surveys it just show he cares about one thing and one thing only, $$$$$$$$$$. And you know, i think satan is guiding Brian France.<br /><br />NASCAR is continuing to run down a slippery slope and when there are no fans left Brian France will be begging fans to come back. Well it will take a monumental effort for fans to come back. And BZF is not willing to do that, in my opinion.saltsburgtrojanfannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-12424845461848239812010-11-19T17:02:08.353-05:002010-11-19T17:02:08.353-05:00E$PN is on now bragging about their

I'm thinking HE needs to be drug tested before he speaks to the media. I can't say what I really think of BZF because JD would censor my comments in a heart beat. I will say from BZF's comments that I think he is a pompous arrogant a**! What a jerk!<br /><br />I'm on the Nascar Fan Council and most of the questions I've seen on their surveys have been pure fluff. Not a lot of real probing questions about the sport or the way it is broadcast. Zip, zilch, nada.<br /><br />I hope everybody enjoys the race this weekend.

The...Brian France's comments are vry upsetting. The CEO of NASCAR, completely out of touch with his own sport. Maybe we need to inform him before he hides under a rock again.<br /><br />France just does not understand NASCAR is different from stick & ball sports. Every race or championship can't come down the the wire. Yet he continues to draw comparisons and 'fix' the sport. He wants the season to have more value, then end this 'Chase playoff' format. <br /><br />Television coverage quality has dropped considerably due to the commercialization of everything. In-car cameras, biggest mover of the race, tech center, blocking billboards of certain sponsors, even the foam of the safer barrier! We miss a good portion of the race to watch even more commericals. Combine that with commentators that are either clueless or acting and the ratings drop 25% on a weekly basis.<br /><br />Everything is a gimmick. The Top 35 rule, qualify 30th, but that may not be enough, you did not beat the right drivers. Debris cautions thrown when NASCAR wants some drama. Double file restarts - the cars couldn't pass, so lets have them 2 wide at the start to make up for it. Lucky dog, wave around - there is no reason to work hard once a lap down, NASCAR will just hand out free laps to everyone.<br /><br />All these measures were put into place to make things tighter and cover-up the aero problems and difficulty passing. But I'd rather watch an honest race with simple rules than the NASCAR carnival of manipulations and distortions. NASCAR needs a real leader right now that can put this sport on the right path.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-91409414939050970592010-11-19T14:07:41.837-05:002010-11-19T14:07:41.837-05:00I just don't see much of a reason to watch thi...I just don't see much of a reason to watch this Chase race at Homestead. My driver is not in the top 3 and no one will be covered except Hamlin, Johnson and Harvick. What's the point of watching a race if they don't cover it? And history has proven beyond a doubt they will not cover the actual RACE! I'll be watching football and just check in around 5pm to see who won. Nothing exciting about it unless your a Hamlin, Johnson or Harvick fan. The rest of us are left in the cold bearen polar icecaps of TV coverage.JohnPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12569069135013356289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-42547607336458377062010-11-19T14:04:39.203-05:002010-11-19T14:04:39.203-05:00p.s.

STUNNED nobody is addressing this anywhere?<br /><br />I will not be watching NFL, as I RARELY do and bengals fan interest is so low, game not sold out for 7 years. So while Cincinnati tax payers pay for stadium, fans still gypped out of watching game in 75 mi radius.<br /><br />But to be honest w NASCAR? I don't care one whit about this last race.<br /><br />I am not into abusive relationships and that is exactly what tv race coverage is giving us.<br /><br />PRETEND to show the race on track (but nobody does)<br /><br />PRETEND all is well with the sport (we know it is not and tv coverage being lousy has to be only 1/2 the issue)<br /><br />PRETEND it's all about the fans all the time, even tho it ain't. (DFRestarts lost on us since TIGHT ZOOM CAMS or IN CAR-sponsored cams/bumpercams/roof cams show us ZILCH in actual 'race perspective)<br /><br />I love many in the media in NASCAR but i'm done rooting or caring that much.<br /><br />Not watching today on tv, sadly.<br /><br />One by one NASCAR has shot itself in the toes. Not even my fondness & respect for Steve Byrnes has drawn me back to watching the extra program NH except on occassions.<br /><br />If it's on after Sunday I will tune in then. but all the sunday pre race shows & the like are just repeated baloney. I've also enjoyed Jimmmy Spencers crying towel routing & think Steve Byrnes knows how to interact with him.<br /><br />If only we had weekend race shows FROM THE STUDIO with Steve instead of the vertigo inducing/fan sign waving crowds in the SPEED shows.<br /><br />I've rarely caught NPerf but LOVE it in the studio but just give us Bootie & Chad & Larry. No offense to the other guy but it ruined the flow of the original show.<br /><br />Also, Steve Byrnes is calming influence...just like I find Mike Joy's voice to be comfort food.<br /><br />Let's just hope FOX/ESPN/NASCAR can get their act together before camera work next year.<br /><br />But sadly, I'm not hopeful.Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789033556426951026noreply@blogger.com
