Just what every fan wants, a non biased straight forward sport. How did the Wallaces and Waltrips get so much power in the broadcast arena of nascar? You can't watch any race without noticing the overfocusing on cars owned by them and now you have to go the extra length to find another source just to listen to the broadcast because of these two families. Maybe if enough fans demand that nascar keep them on air all the time, nascar will do the opposite like they do with everything else we want. I hit the mute, saw the over focus on Waltrip/wallace cars and watched more of the re-run of the royal wedding on the other tv my wife had on, and it seemed like a better race ... the wedding. I did notice that Speed had Danica Patrick finishing in the top ten on the last lap start finish line. Did something happen to Josh wise while I was going back and forth with the royals? The poor camera guys thought the 7 car was Robby Gordon and kept trying to keep it off the screen and didn't realize it until the last 28 laps. Way to go Speed.dannynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-33371770876211921042011-04-29T20:37:43.059-04:002011-04-29T20:37:43.059-04:00During that wreck I would have zoomed out not zoom...During that wreck I would have zoomed out not zoomed in.Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03003781121938153072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-79104786507611891422011-04-29T20:16:14.920-04:002011-04-29T20:16:14.920-04:00So far I think the booth and camera work are not b...So far I think the booth and camera work are not bad but not good either.

It's very disappointing that the people in charge of the TV events don't listen to the fans when it comes to choosing commentators.

The show is neither funny, nor informative.<br /><br />But, Thursday night's surprise double-header with the two Kennys was a RIOT! Not so much Wallace, but Ken Schrader had me in stitches all night! Actually, Wallace almost acted as Schrader's straight man, setting him up for some hilarious lines. You could really tell that Mike Joy was having fun, and I'm sure he enjoyed the break from the McWaltrip routine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-36822634503944941712011-04-29T15:56:44.666-04:002011-04-29T15:56:44.666-04:00Yep, haven't watched TrackSide all year for th...Yep, haven't watched TrackSide all year for the same reason.PammHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300459856268781781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-58487608888728447582011-04-29T15:55:31.332-04:002011-04-29T15:55:31.332-04:00Speed has done a good job so far today.

They did a good job. just tell us what we can't see on TV, don't over dramatize things, etc. In the medical profession there is the "DO NO HARM" saying. That should be true for race broadcasts, first do no harm. I just saw an add for tonight's Nationwide race with the two Waldrips, saying it would be like no other race we've seem. That scares me as these two always try to be the show and therefore ruin the races for me. Why can't they take the low key approach and "DO NO HARM".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-59905980841652697402011-04-29T14:48:32.699-04:002011-04-29T14:48:32.699-04:00RacinReport--someone asked Steve about it last nig...RacinReport--someone asked Steve about it last night & Steve said it was Denny's deal, his rules.
