I miss the old Speed Channel days when you got so much coverage. I get it that they’re trying to cut down costs for the teams, but as far as coverage goes, there doesn’t seem to be as much. Plus, the coverage of the truck races lately has become a joke!

You’ll never change my mind. Swing and a miss on that one Jaret.

Times a race

And Steve Phelps just announced that Nascar just spent millions of $ on a new broadcast facility in Charlotte, so the networks don’t even have to go to the track. They can announce the race remotely. That will add that nice personal touch, no?

In the 1993 Daytona 500 there was an axle cam on someone’s car (I think it was Dale Jarrett) you could see the car’s suspension and they had a little graphic showing which gear he was in, all to show how long it takes for those cars to get up to speed on superspeedways. It’s little aspects like that I love the 80s and 90s broadcasts for, it shows how fascinating the sport is from a technical aspect.

Also when I first got into Nascar I was a Logano fan simply because he showed up in Lab Rats lol.

Alex Bowman became my favorite driver in 2013 because he likes dubstep, something I also liked at the time.

Commercial free races. F1 has done this & as a result (in addition to things like 3 races in the US & DTS) the popularity of the series has exploded to where they have overtaken Indycar as the 2nd most popular motorsport in this country & are actively taking away younger fans from NASCAR. If NASCAR did this at first for like the big races like the Daytona 500 & then every race, they would see a bump in the ratings, especially from younger fans who are more likely to sit through a commercial free race than one where there are commercial breaks every 10 laps. The commercial breaks in NASCAR in my view especially when Fox airs races absolutely kills the momentum/flow of the broadcast & the sooner NASCAR moves away from them the better.

That was my first race as well. The thing that hooked me was watching the K&N West series, seeing some drivers that I could relate to just made me want to watch them climb the ranks. I watched cup to see what they were working towards.

It did seem cool and everything, but later on they showed a 3d animation showing how the draft worked, and that’s probably the thing that pushed me to watching next week’s race at Atlanta

Dana white let’s his fighters talk about ANYTHING and let’s them show their personalities, which is kind of what NASCAR should be doing with the drivers.
