FOX and ESPN both will look SUPER after the upcoming dark days of Bull Weber.

Just to know I won't have to have the mute button ready for the start of the race is reason for tuning in to who ever does the race.

Have you not been a racing fan for very long? You don't remember that without ESPN and their coverage that NASCAR wouldn't even be close to the popularity it enjoys today? It will be great to get back to watching the race instead of watching fox's commercials of drivers that don't even make the race!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-58386463943291088972007-05-18T10:38:00.000-04:002007-05-18T10:38:00.000-04:00I love this article.

I would not miss Hammond and Myers. <BR/><BR/>I do think DW needed to be knocked down a notch or two. He is no Ned Jarrett or BP but could be a lot better if he would calm down a little and talk more about all the race teams and not just JR and Mikey. I think the fact that Mikey fell flat on his fat head was good for Fox in that it made DW a more balenced reporter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-89890663462691184292007-05-18T10:24:00.000-04:002007-05-18T10:24:00.000-04:00........way past the time for Fox to just go away............way past the time for Fox to just go away. Someone PLEASE tell DW that the "Boogidy, Boogidy, Boogidy" crap is beyond painful.

I am also thrilled with the Fox coverage and lament their leaving at all, much less this soon. In a Nascar era where things continue to vacate from it's roots, so to goes the announcing. The likes of a Ned Jarret, BP, and scores of other Nascar experts in broadcasting, are being replaced by 'pasted tv hair' and unknowledgeable 'talking heads'. I know the new networks will try to do a good job, but..., I'm not holding my breath. Here's to Classic Nascar Daytona 500s currently running on cable in Central Florida!
