But the previous race at Milwaukee was horrendous. It was a HD problem as well because when I switched to SD the problem went away. The mixing between the booth crew's mics and the track noise (engines, track announcer etc.) was the problem. The track noise was way louder, almost to the point that you could barely hear what was being said.<br /><br />Unfortunately, ESPN also had the coverage of the Indycar race in Iowa and it was even worse - I couldn't hear what the announcers were saying at all. I sure hope ABC/ESPN figures the audio out before they take over the Cup series or it is going to be a long second half of the season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-20874429947524306532009-06-28T23:41:23.461-04:002009-06-28T23:41:23.461-04:00I completely forgot about the IRL races since it i...I completely forgot about the IRL races since it is on Versus.

If Brad K sounded like an illiterate moron during an interview I could understand it, but he is a bright articulate young man who is projecting the image NASCAR wants the public to see. We rarely hear from his crew chief during the race either. I would love to hear an explanation from someone from the broadcasting network as to why the 88 team is ignored week after week. He is in third place in the standings,runs up front week after week. and is the highest placed Nationwide regular driver, but gets very little air time.

It is PAST TIME...The NW race w/out Punch was great. It is PAST TIME for him to go bye-bye... The three in the booth sounded very good. The excitement was so much better than the past NW races.<br /><br />Truck race, well for me, was one of the worst of the season for them. The Trucks have been the very best as far as TV coverage, but this one was a dud. It was like they weren't watching the track and missing things going on in the race. One time, they called a caution and then figured out it was a car in the wall, stopped, in turn four. Way after the flag was thrown. At least MW does look out the window and usually calls the problems as they are happening. He has improved this season, as far as self-promoting, and was missed in the booth yesterday. <br /><br />It was also nice not to have Dweeb, Weed, or whatever we're calling him this week, to not stink up this weeks race. I'm sure the Truck Series regulars could use the purse money that usually goes to the Cup guys.<br /><br />Lots of racing on TV since Friday, another weekend of not getting anything done around the house!

The booth can't do anything about the racing, or lack there of. With Marty it was more like 3 guys watching a race together, not a "scripted" story with no real play by play.<br /><br />Think about it. Marty comes in cold and does a thousand times better than JP. So we more time together it should only get better.<br /><br />On a side note. Watching the really boring IRL race on DVR I had to stop when I saw the Go Daddy ad with Danica autographing body parts. I can not believe they got that on TV. Disgusting.

ABC and Speed both had commercial overload IMO. The last ten laps of the Nationwide race still had no excitement whatsoever. At 6 to go the booth sounded just like when it was 160 to go. Marty Reid did give more general info then JP but pretty much any info is more than JP gives. There were way too many "umm, err, uhh moments for me. <br />ESPN and Fox really should have to face Nascar for actions detrimental to the sport.

I bet DJ & AP like working with a competent co worker too. <br /><br />I hope too that the racing is in the big box and the other stuff is relegated to the small box when CUP racing starts on BSPN. Maybe by then we'll get the true triple split pit stops. <br /><br />Is it up to the PxP guy to mention the S&Ps? Or, did Marty not get the memo? I thought it was a secret. <br /><br />I DVR'd the truck race but read the comments before I watched it. I knew who won but Dan didn't. That was a good race to FF through. It was kind of boring. NASCAR really should have changed their schedule this year. Again, someone had their head in the sand about this series. JD, your comments in the truck thread made sense. Keep it east bound and at companion races. Or, something to that effect.<br /><br />I'm not a Rusty fan. Good for him to say what others won't about Weed. It is kind of a pots and kettles thing though. <br /><br />I copied this from the other post.<br />While watching the IRL race and their side by side coverage I saw the Mobil 1 comml that is shown during our race coverage.

And a few losing sponsors soon!<br />Those stands sure were empty. I couldn't help wonder if not only economy, but the recent disrespect shown didn't help people decide to watch it free as opposed to paying to roast in 100+ temps.<br /><br />Why can't we have the same commercials as IRL?
