I personally think that when Darrell Waltrip retired from the booth is when everything started changing for how NASCAR on Fox was like Mike Jeff and Darrell worked well together, not to the degree of Mike Larry and Darrell, but after he retired from broadcasting in 2019 full-time at least I feel like that’s when NASCAR fox started to change

In reply to Kevin Rečnik. That was probably the most cutting edge thing I had ever seen when that debuted! Heck, it still holds up great today more than 20 years later!

I will always maintain that the 2001-2006 NASCAR TV package (including NBC) is the zenith of motorsport broadcasting.

I think the major problem is the change of culture in NASCAR. Before the chase/playoffs, each race was the focus of a given weekend. Matt Kenseth recently observed that back then, points weren’t talked about very much (except for after the race). Now, under a system supposedly all about wins, points are talked about constantly. The broadcasts uses to follow what’s happening right now. These days, the agenda is following the playoff contenders. Anyone not within reach of making the cut is not talked about unless they spin or crash.

Pre-2000 was awesome. Great announcers. Great production. It was classy. And you had CBS, TNN, ESPN, ABC, TBS and NBC all promoting the sport. Now, you have 2 networks, and the other networks don’t care.

In reply to Cito Browne. Boyer is the 1 who tells what is going on a d why. The other 2 are asking him things. I don't even think the critics on these channels even watch the races!

In reply to Trackside Views. I mean, stage cautions, driver fights, be glad the track doesn't stop for commercials like NFL do, but they're getting real close

In reply to ElFuego35. Also, Jamie Little can't hold a matchstick to Krista Voda when she was around. Idk what Fox was thinking
