Originally I thought that ESPN was being really dumb when they announced that they would broadcast a race scheduled to being at 4:30 starting at 5:30. However, it appears now they knew what they were doing. Marty Reid provided great enthusiastic broadcasting with Andy and Dale popping in at just the right times for the right amount. Running both races back to back gave me a headache and I was ready for a nap about halfway through the Nationwide race, but ESPN did a great job today and I am glad to see that FOX and ESPN both have made great improvements this season. Perhaps the better racing has something to do with it as well?adamtw1010https://www.blogger.com/profile/14093765732747032737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-74949453001201048102010-04-25T21:17:24.056-04:002010-04-25T21:17:24.056-04:00Having the Cup and Nationwide races run back-to-ba...Having the Cup and Nationwide races run back-to-back really pointed out the differences in the quality of the broadcasts from the different networks. The lack of useless babble from the ESPN booth really contrasted with the Fox booth. The updates on various cars that had wrecked or dropped out along with the wide shots showing more of the field made it much easier to kepp track of the action in the Nationwide series race.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03233133246348697023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-30418232936174684352010-04-25T20:45:23.791-04:002010-04-25T20:45:23.791-04:00Sophia, I agree with you that there should only be...Sophia, I agree with you that there should only be one GWC attempt at plate tracks.<br /><br />Personally I think multiple attempts at any track is a stupid idea and it doesn't seem like the drivers like it much either.GinaV24https://www.blogger.com/profile/10828669350024430018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-35395257053477806772010-04-25T20:38:54.034-04:002010-04-25T20:38:54.034-04:00JD, any weather reports yet for Richmond next week...JD, any weather reports yet for Richmond next week?
