Today i want to look into this line of changes and see where the FOX Sports group is going in direction of their overall NASCAR outlook moving forward. What is next after FOX's NASCAR changes?

NASCAR on FOX has not been the same since Steve Byrnes died.
Also remember how we were told in 2013 “Don’t worry all your favorite NASCAR programming will be untouched once FS1 replaces SPEED!”? Pepperidge Farm Remembers.
SPEED was truly peak for Motorsports fans. Miss it so much
@@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT Can we at least get a 2024 version of Speed channel
@@jordankirby3075 that would be beautiful
Fox from day #1 has not been good for Nascar. Remember when Fox would not show the sponsors ? 1st yr. Fox is behind all the gimmick races. Example ,Busch Clash now at LA. How dumb.
@@dannypowers4995 Can you give NASCAR a chance
No NASCAR Race Hub on weekdays after June 11th was the last thing I’d wanted to hear. How will we get to listen to Radioactive now??? Talk about terrible timing for me, as it’s scheduled to run its last show on my 23rd birthday.
Another reason why FOX should’ve never resigned for another 7 years.
From what I gather, Radio Active is put together by NASCAR Media Group for Fox.
B/C of that, It wouldn’t shock me if NASCAR themselves start uploading Radioactive on their channel (even if it’s not named Radioactive).
NASCAR having the Coca Cola 600 on Amazon Prime is like having the Daytona 500 on Paramount Plus. Are they crazy?
No more and more things are headed to streaming as cable dies out. It’s a long play eventually we’ll get use to it
@tombrady6986 dude, cable is dying. What are you talking about? The geriatric “nascar died with dale” fans aren’t important anymore. They want to appeal to a younger crowd and that’s exactly what they’re doing.
@@AnkleStabber They’ll have a crowd that’s half as old & half as many.
@@GrandpaSharknascar will have to be on a pay channel just to break even.
First, I hope Amazon and TNT grab Jamie McMurray for their broadcasts. Him and Jr would be excellent (and still praying somehow they get Bestwick as well). As far as streaming, I wish someday we get a streaming service for all racing, like a speed channel. Then we can have daily nascar shows again, maybe show practice and qualifying and show other racing as well. Because the way things are going, any nascar coverage we get on tv won’t start until Saturday, which isn’t good. We need to start getting fans excited for race weekend during the week, can’t condense everything into the 2 day weekend
No for Jamie McMurray. We need Cole Pearn as the third person.
Be neat to see Al Michaels try and call NASCAR.
Its amazing that football can get dozens of hours of coverage everyday and Nascar cant get an hour.
I’m always annoyed when I see “NFL Today” or whatever NFL morning show is on ESPN while it ignores the NHL being in the middle and back half of the season.
And it’s not even the nfl it’s a shitty fucking minor league version
Nascar shouldn’t have decided to kill itself then
NASCAR killed the sport. Stupid playoffs and mandatory cautions. It’s been dying for 20 years. Just take a look at the “packed grandstands “.
NASCAR used to be worth watching. Not any more.
PLEASE GET LARRY MAC IN THE BOOTH AGAIN, FOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sadly, that ship has sailed, as IMO if Fox wanted, they could’ve put him in the booth the last 2 seasons instead of doing the rotating analyst.
However, Larry Mac has a relationship with Turner from the 2007-2014 package, and I can see a Larry Mac/Dale Jr booth being banger..
@@ElFuego35plus now there’s reports that Warner Brothers Discovery is teaming up with Disney for a streaming package. So now it’s highly likely that some Fox Sports people are also gonna be on TNT since TNT and Fox Sports will be in the same umbrella.
from 2007-2014 Barry Landis (Fox producer) and many other FOX people were behind the scenes for the TNT Summer series
Larry Mac contract might get cancelled after race hub got canceled he either retire or head to TNT or Amazon like Jamie Mac
Not going to happen.
I’d love streaming if I could just pay for the events I want. I resent having to pay 75-100 a month to a service for tons of channels I’ll never watch, just to stream fox events.
Exactly, other sports have their own dedicated streaming service, like NFL Network, id Nascar did something similar I’d sign up in a heartbeat
You just described cable.
In my opinion, Jimmy Spencer was really good at his show. It was an engaging show, and he made fun of the drivers which was really funny. He actually made me laugh quite a lot. It was like a comedy and at the same time he got serious. It was just a great show. He was like the Stephen A. Smith of NASCAR. that sucks fox had to cut him and completely get rid of his show especially the speed network that was a vital channel.
Jimmy Spencer and Steve Bynes were what made the show worth watching. I’m not surprised. Everyone watches YouTube for content now
I kind of felt like Spencer was forced to be a character where his normal character-self was enough as it was….otherwise completely agree. Steve had a way of being able to take any show format/duties asked of him and find a way to perfect the role and shine.
Looking at the show 15-20 years ago, the current form doesn’t compare.
NASCAR Race Hub being dead after June 11th just proves how of touch NASCAR on FOX is with it’s coverage. It’s been awful for a number of years but this takes it to a new level.
NASCAR needs to start their own subscription base platform.
Yes they do I’ll pay $199 a year for every race and practice and qualifying
Literally idk why they havent. Almost every sport has it.
Nah, there’s free content on YouTube and even NASCAR Classics’ website.
Plus you can watch races on piracy without paying a single penny
Apparently Warner Brothers Discovery is teaming up with Disney for it’s streaming services.
@@stevenrosenthal720and they could dump the entire NASCAR archives series there.
well kids, it was called speed channel, and it was, and we didn’t even realize it at the time, it was a gift from God
I remember when it started. I was a kid, my dad got a whole tv channel of racing. Now it’s all YouTube except live races.
I started getting into the sport around the time that the Speed channel was beginning to shut down. I had no idea at first. I was also there for the final broadcast before switching to FS1.
Xfinity and trucks provide some pretty damn good racing!
Aside from a few races, xfinity has been better than cup in my eyes this year.
I’m sad cause I actually look forward to watching RaceHub everyday when I get off work. I’m not saying it’s a perfect show but it did a great job of giving Nascar content on a daily basis. I’ve always enjoyed the back in forth between Adam Alexander, Larry Mac, Jamie McMurray or whoever might join them on the show
I’ll admit I haven’t watched a full episode of race hub in years. I miss the Jimmy Spencer and Steve Byrnes days! That made the show fun
Quality overall is atrocious. If they continue like this for next 7 years, the more we will want to fast forward to Amazon coverage.
And with the potential Indycar on Fox bit, this WOULD NOT BE the 1st time they’ve been doing live coverage of Indycar… remember Phoenix, Pikes Peak and Dover in 1999? Those were on Fox Sports Net and Fox, respectively, back during the Pep Boys Indy Racing League days.
Dirty Mo Media just got so much more important. They should do a nascar news show every week.
They sort of do with their various shows.
Anyone remember RPM 2Night on ESPN2 with John Kernan in the ‘90s? Covered all motor sports every weeknight year round but with a heavy NASCAR tilt
