I am completely blind, and listen to the races on the radio. The quality of a motor racing network broadcast is done very well most weeks. Sure, sometimes they have microphone issues on occasionlike they did last week, but generally broadcasts are stellar! You will be hard to find a better broadcast crew.

I miss the days of 950 hp, 200+ mph speeds, chassis/aero specifically for short, intermediate, rc and superspeedway. Also miss teams being able to set rear spoiler angle wherever they want, setting transmission gear ratios they desire, rear-end gear ratios that they desire instead of nascrap’s mandated two gear ratio options.
Nascar is nothing more than a glorified IROC kit car series, the drivers hate not having any horsepower and they really don’t like these cars. I get Nascrap wants parity and to keep the cars bunched together instead of strungout. But bunched together and not very able to pass is boring too. I’m old school and have been watching late model and Nascar racing since the mid 60s…I don’t care for stage racing and their staged cautions to bunch the field up and I hate how Nascar has ruled the series to death. They’ve tried to gear the racing toward the casual race fan watching on TV, they don’t care about what hardcore race fans want or like…we are a dying breed. Lastly, I also don’t care much for the truck series anymore because they’ve gone to a GM based Illmore built engine….so Ford, Toyota and Chevy are all running the same GM (chevy) engine.
I can almost bet you within 5 yrs Xfinity and Cup cars will probably all be using a GM based Hybrid V8. I’ll be totally done with Nascar then and just stick with local and national short track super late model racing. It’s better anyway

I don’t believe they’ll ever up HP…..if anything I could actually see them unfortunately lower it from 670 to 550….they’re that limp. Jim France has decided a Cup car needs to be an IMSA car, it is essentially an IMSA car and was designed by an IMSA team.
It’s one reason this car sucks on short tracks, it’s really hard to have a One Size Fits All race car….in other words, one that is equally as good on short, intermediate, road course and superspeedways.
Instead of an IMSA team developing the car, Cup teams should’ve created and developed it. IMSA teams know nothing about oval track racing.
It’s truly embarrassing when the TOP stock car series in the world has less horsepower than many modern day sports/muscle cars.
]]>MRN kills it every week.
]]>I don’t see it happening until 2025 at the earliest. NASCAR never likes to admit they’re wrong and upping HP mid season would do exactly that
]]>Totally agree. The MRN guys always make me feel as though I was at the track when I was traveling or in the garage. I especially like Bagley and think he would be stellar.
]]>I hope he’ll get to call the Xfinity races on the CW next year. Reassembling the old ESPN booth isn’t a bad idea.
]]>The Australian guy?
]]>This!
A thousand times, this.
I loved listening to him with Ned Jarrett and Neil Bonnett.
