Back before the first "mega TV contract" which started in 2001, they were the best broadcast teams. Mike Joy, Alan Bestwick, Larry McReynolds and Kyle Petty are the best we in the booth have now. The best Pit Road reporters I think are Dr Jerry Punch, Krista Voda, Shannon Spake and Ray Dunlap. <br /><br />My two absolute best is Eli Gold and Dave Moody who is on MRN/SiriusXM instead of TV. I like those two guys because you can here the genuine excitement in their voices when something big happens. And you can tell they are really excited rather that portraying a preconceived script written by a suit in Connecticut.DaveM4210https://www.blogger.com/profile/08661146275364277936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-91495214800479893712011-12-23T22:29:31.485-05:002011-12-23T22:29:31.485-05:00Just read on-line that Carl Edwards will be co-hos...Just read on-line that Carl Edwards will be co-hosting Live with Kelly the week of Jan. 16.

Perhaps then they would allow the race dictate the story line and ditch the shallow pre-determined scripts. One more note about the productions: with the exception of the programmer's closest friends, no race fans are impressed with "gee whiz" graphics etc. Focus on the race.<br /><br />2) I wish that SPEED would support the CWTS with aggressive online programming, including a real time lap tracker. NASCAR.com treats the trucks like an embarrassing step-child. With the proper promotion, CWTS has growth potential, bur it can't grow when it is mostly ignored by NASCAR's official website.<br /><br />3) Finally, I wish that the self-congratulatory chuckle fests that pass for pre-race programs would disappear. The resources devoted to those superfluous programs would better serve viewing fans with more post race coverage like Victory Lane.<br /><br />Happy Holidays to all of you.fbu1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-20696918544954630542011-12-23T11:27:34.361-05:002011-12-23T11:27:34.361-05:00Delenn - That makes perfect sense, which is probab...Delenn - That makes perfect sense, which is probably why it won't be done.

Also, any pit reporter who asks drivers the kind of stupid/horrible questions Jamie Little and Dave what’s-his-face do. Everyone else should be required to watch Jerry Punch to see how a pro handles pit duties and talks to drivers fresh out of cars after 3-5 frustrating hours in 130+ heat or post-wreck. <br /><br />Someone said have Mike Joy announce all the races. He IS the best but Alan Bestwick is good also. ESPN just has him as flummoxed as many of us are. He never knows what to expect from ESPN production. He does his homework but ESPN nullifies his preparation. I’d be happy if we just had either Mike Joy or Alan Bestwick with Larry Mac. Larry knows his stuff and doesn’t talk to hear his own voice.<br /><br />ESPN is horrible in so many ways. Camera shots suck as has been noted. Networks now have a nice HD wide screen format. Use it! Show ALL the cars crossing the finish line. Oddly, ESPN set the standard in the 80’s-90’s by which we are judging them and everyone else now. <br /><br />Shorten races by at least 20%. Have a lot less pre-race and a lot more post-race. Sorry, JD.

They know how to call a race telling us what is happening on the track without the drama and story telling. We can use Krista Voda, Wendy Venturini and Ray Dunlap for the pre-race show. Use the production team with the same number of cameras that does the Speed channel Truck and ARCA races. In my not so humble opinion, that would be the perfect TV race broadcast.<br /><br />HaHa!
