The loss of Benny Parsons was tough, but it gave TNT a great asset in Kyle Petty. His use of twitter in the broadcasts began the snowball of social media that is at its prime today. TNT got the commercial business into the 21st century with Daytona Wide Open Coverage, which is slowly pushing the other networks to use side-by-side commercials. TNT also gave us RaceBuddy, a great tool that I still love to use when the tv broadcast isn't very good.<br /><br />Turner's downfall was the lack of $bucks deluxe$. They had only 6 races, and were stuck with a schedule filled with mostly fuel milage races. I guess the signs were out there TNT might be parting with NASCAR when Marty Snider & Wally Dallenbach became part of the IndyCar broadcasts on NBC Sports Net. The rest of the crew all have a home at SPEED (for now anyway). I have to wonder if TNT saw their limited options with NASCAR - it explains why TNT borrowed people opposed to training their own talent.<br /><br />Turner also struggled with NASCAR.com. Every re-design became cluttered again and called for another re-design. TNT was an innovator in many ways, but online it was part of a blockade that prevented NASCAR.com from moving into the social media frenzy.<br /><br />I certainly hope TNT stays around through 2014 for NASCAR's sake. TNT has indirectly pressured the other networks to improve their broadcasts. Will either FOX or ESPN take the initiative TNT took during this tv contract? Can fans take more of FOX's buffoonery? This season FOX was nothing but stubborn to criticism of their 'entertainment' television that abandoned the principles of a quality race broadcast. <br /><br />This will be interesting...Buschseries61noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-28719029415685854222012-07-15T12:12:51.400-04:002012-07-15T12:12:51.400-04:00I really hope NBC gets the rights to the 6 races i...I really hope NBC gets the rights to the 6 races in question. I just finished watching "Trainwreckday" on Speed. DW is irrelevant, and Kenny Wallace shouts at you. The unbelievable part of it was the respect that Tony Stewart and "GASP" Roger Penske showed him. To me, he appears to be a clown, who rambles on as much as the clueless DW. Penske putting him in a car? I can just hear the radio traffic: "Kenny, how does the car feel coming out of 4?" "Well the late great Dale Earnhardt Sr, once told me: Herm, the car is loose coming out of 4". The name dropping is plain stupid. My hope in the foreseeable future is that NBC gets the rights, and also takes over the Raceday program format. Get rid of the circus, put DW out to pasture, or put him down, get some energy in the booth, and hire the NHL camera crew to televise the races. Adam Alexander is good as a daily show host, but not in the booth. Here is my plan: Mike Joy hired away from FOX, with Larry Mac ONLY in the booth. Ralph Sheheen, Dave Burns, Marty Snider on pit road.No gimmicks, no toilet paper,no putting the fans down, and just SHOW THE DAMN RACE. Here endeth the lesson.Coloradonoreply@blogger.com
