But, the race coverage was HORRIBLE!<BR/> I'm starting to feel like the ESPN "team" thinks we are all 5 years old and have never before seen a NASCAR race. At one point, Brian Vickers' car was overheating because of trash on the grill. Happens all of the time in racing. Jerry, Rusty and the rest spent at least 20 minutes explaining why this makes the car hot, how to get the trash off the car, and all about air.<BR/> ENOUGH ABOUT AIR!! Everyone that can tie their own shoes and use complete sentences understands air. We do not need 10 minute long dissertations and mutli-angle "draft track" to get it. WE UNDERSTAND AIR! <BR/> I swear if I see "draft track" one more time, I will lose it. ESPN: please spend your money on hiring the best and brightest to bring us the races each and every week. Quit wasting it on stupid demonstrations obviously designed by first year graphic design students.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05228754271203944980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-82253109685360979692007-09-02T13:47:00.000-04:002007-09-02T13:47:00.000-04:00I don't see this as getting any better for the rem...I don't see this as getting any better for the remaining season.<BR/><BR/>Last nights late start was a mess of the highest proportions! The scroller said to tune into ESPN 360, and when I finally found it was a website, rather than a channel..I rushed to bring it up. Yikes...my NATIONAL ISP company does not carry it! After banging on the keyboard a bit, in frustration, I headed right over to NASCAR.com and watched their pre-race. Yep, I went to TURNER to see what I was missing from ESPN!<BR/><BR/>And BTW, I was Instant Messaging with a friend of mine in Canada. She saw the whole feed! Yep, in Canada, they had the whole Countdown! <BR/><BR/>The Busch series is already suffering viewership. NASCAR is already suffering in trying to find a sponsor to replace Busch. This Broadcasting Boondoggle won't help that situation at all. Light a memory candle now, we won't be seeing this series much at all!Snafamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10025789770244212992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-60487735810365888722007-09-02T11:53:00.000-04:002007-09-02T11:53:00.000-04:00You know, I have read a lot of comments and one th...You know, I have read a lot of comments and one that makes sense is regarding the money that ESPN forked over to (win)the bid placed on our beloved sport. Unfortunately, the only reason ESPN forked over the most dough is because of what they were getting in return and taking for granted why we love the sport of NASCAR!

Oh, yeah! Money! Gee, I'm so glad they have their priorities in order. It must go something like this: money, their (NASCAR) personal bank accounts, the corporate sponsors who pull the purse strings and then there's probably a lot of other miscellaneous groups and people that fill up the next twelve or so spots. Other corporate peeps, maybe even the guy who mops the floor at the end of the day and scrubs the toilets. Then, at the bottom of the list of priorities we find the drivers, their teams and the fans.

In addition to the items you mentioned, there was a weird audio glitch right after the intro when some voice other than Klulesas's could be heard for a moment.<BR/><BR/>What would happen if NASCAR fans banded together and marched on ESPN headquarters to send them a message?

Pretty sure bet that game will run over, and with another football game on ESPN, I'll bet the race gets started on ESPN Classic, or at least the pre-race will. I've already got my VCR set to catch that, since my DVR will be busy on ESPN2 and with the ALMS race on SPEED.<BR/><BR/>In regards to next week's Cup race at Richmond though, I think NASCAR will try to delay the start as much as possible, as they did a couple years ago at Charlotte. The Notre Dame game ran long, and the race was held enough that NBC joined it right at the green flag. And even if the Michigan game runs long, I won't be too bothered, since I'm a fan :P (though if it does mean I miss the start of the race, I suppose I won't feel quite the same)SonicADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06647057393154203533noreply@blogger.com
