If they have any bias or agenda, they conceal it well. I like their enthusiasm, sense of humor, and willingness to call them as they see them. They also seem ready to disagree with NASCAR when appropriate. I enjoy watching a race with these two guys.<br /><br />I also think Larry Mac has done his best work with TNT. I think he is most effective when discussing the pit strategy being used by different teams. That's what I want from a TV crew - adding information that's not readily apparent from watching the on-screen pictures. Clearly Larry Mac is capable of adding a lot of information to a broadcast. I can only assume that his limited effectiveness for Fox is a result of employer policy.<br /><br />Fox and ESPN have turned me into a part time viewer because of the poor broadcasts. I expect to be a full time viewer for TNT's run. I welcome their return and regret that it is so short.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-6045518829010897202011-06-04T05:55:05.885-04:002011-06-04T05:55:05.885-04:00Fox is the best coverage period!Fox is the best coverage period!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-59747905195565792011-06-03T18:59:05.003-04:002011-06-03T18:59:05.003-04:00Good riddance FOX...Welcome back TNT.Good riddance FOX...Welcome back TNT.Lois Lanehttp://my.speedtv.com/loislanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-89618697668888153872011-06-03T15:32:18.785-04:002011-06-03T15:32:18.785-04:00TNT always does a good job, but then anything with...TNT always does a good job, but then anything without DW is good so bring it on.

They also have some difficult locations for races and a difficult time period (end of school year/start of summer) to try to draw an audience) Sadly, one of our main sources for live NASCAR Cup and NNNS races on cable is TSN...which is now majority-owned by ESPN. If there are no other conflicts for baseball, hockey, tennis or anything else, we may even see it live...otherwise we have to hunt around the digital stratosphere for tape-delayed/edited coverage, if we get the race at all.

I overdosed on Kyle Petty long ago. Wally has virtually zero experience in Nascar much less such things like "winning Nascar races". So I hardly value his opinion. Obviously, DW is gone, but I'm not expecting any great improvements.

I'm a little bummed to hear that Jim Noble won't be doing the pit reporting for it, he did a great job. Still not a big fan of Adam Alexander, I'd prefer Ralph in the booth instead, but at least these guys won't be showing their bias.<br /><br />I know that TNT will have its usual commercial load and "we know drama" silliness but having racebuddy offsets that for me.<br /><br />hopefully this producer/director will give us wide shots and let us SEE the race. I'm looking forward to enjoying the 6 races before ESPN takes over and beats us all over the head with the "CHASE"!!!

I was surprised Phil was as bad in the pits as he was--just something you don't know until you try it, I guess. I think Chris will be fine; he knows what he's doing. The Sports car races are always well done (soooooo much better than Cup coverage...)

They don't focus all their coverage around whatever Waltrip thinks like FOX and Every Sport doesn't Preempt NASCAR.<br /><br />TNT also gets some of the toughest races all year. Most fans you talk to say that Pocono should only have 1 400 mile race all year. <br /><br />Last year's Michigan race, if I'm not mistaken, was one of the shortest races time wise and featured one of the most questionable debris cautions with 20 to go in NASCAR history.<br /><br />Road courses aren't well liked by oval-loving NASCAR fans. TNT previously had Chicagoland, the most boring 1.5 mile race all year. The Nationwide races at Kentucky haven't been too exciting in the past, can't say my expectations for Cup at Kentucky are very high.<br /><br />TNT does get Daytona-which they do an excellent job. Sometimes the sponsorship messages can get annoying, but its worth it to see all of the green flag racing at Daytona. New Hampshire can see some short track excitement and could be a good race to end with for TNT.<br /><br />My expectations for TNT are high. Don't let me down, Turner.adamtw1010https://www.blogger.com/profile/14093765732747032737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-53737433407733728352011-06-01T23:07:45.379-04:002011-06-01T23:07:45.379-04:00The only part of this I dont like is that Adam is ...The only part of this I dont like is that Adam is in the booth and Ralph is on pit road.
