Delete this if you wish JD. I just found the similarities of their Belmont Stakes, and NASCAR coverage styles striking. <br /><br />BSPN mangled the Belmont Stakes coverage just as bad as they have NASCAR's. I started watching it, and gave up waaaay before post time. Even my wife, who really likes watching the 3 Triple Crown races said that the way they were presenting it was silly, and stupid. It was full of the same kind of meaningless fluff that they throw at us for NASCAR. <br /><br />There was absolutely no comparison to the "relatively" classy presentation that NBC does of the Kentucky Derby, and Preakness. I was surprised they weren't broadcasting this too. <br /><br />Apparently, it is in BSPN's DNA! I am soooo not looking forward to BSPN taking over Cup coverage. <br /><br />Hey, JD; what happened to the CAPTCHA?Rockin Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401306989231204937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-65711930241471892312009-06-06T19:00:45.028-04:002009-06-06T19:00:45.028-04:00There is a new post up for your comments on the Na...There is a new post up for your comments on the Nationwide Series race from Nashville on ESPN2.<br /><br />Thanks!Daly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-82123451345136487982009-06-06T18:50:51.780-04:002009-06-06T18:50:51.780-04:00Yeah, that qualifying session was painful.

Sadly this ESPN debacle will only get much much worse before it gets better. In a few weeks the ESPN practice/qualifying TV blackouts and tape-delays will cross over to the Cup Series as well, the ESPN Classic overflow network will get a huge slash in viewership with the ESPNU swap, and college football season will be coming around the corner to make an even bigger mess of the Nationwide coverage.<br /><br />JD, It's nice of you to bring up the unadvertised 6:00 full-length ESPN Classic re-air of Nationwide qualifying... but again that's way too little way too late, the damage has already been done to the fans that wanted to see qualifying in its entirety without having the outcome spoiled.<br /><br />ESPN's doing a heck of a job if their motivation is actually to screw up so badly that NASCAR will let them out of that expensive NASCAR TV contract. It's just a shame the fans have to suffer so badly as a result.stricklinfan82https://www.blogger.com/profile/01808897974344304657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-628756352497855012009-06-06T18:16:27.533-04:002009-06-06T18:16:27.533-04:00I hate not having either Speed or Classic.
