Tony Stewart Gets Defensive | Dale Jr. Does NOT Have an NBC Contract
51 comments
At least Tony is taking more of a hands on approach
Also NBC you better bring back Dale he’s the modern Benny Parsons
Dale Jr can never touch Benny Parsons
It’s bringing flashbacks to when they swapped Allen Bestwick out for Bill Weber
@@JGR4LIFEcause hes way above benny
@@jvydenlovescruises typical jr fan
If NBC loses Dale Earnhardt Jr, I fear NBC’s perception may take a MASSIVE nosedive.
If NBC loses Dale, NASCAR as a whole will be effected. He could wind up doing Prime or TNT races, but that isn’t very many races. He needs to be apart of a big chunk on the schedule.
Both Jr and Jeff just talk far too much….
@@deantait8326my opinion is by your one comment you talk too much
If Jr leaves im done with NBC
@@theblacksun3 prime example proving your comment right here
When your name is on the building it’s ultimately your responsibility, the sooner SHR as an organization top to bottom quits yapping and starts producing good results in Cup, the sooner you’ll stopped being blamed Anthony.
What about the other name on the building…
@@YaM0MsAh03find a quote of Gene publicly telling fans to stop blaming him and I’ll put him in the comment too
@@MLGProSwag69Fair enough, he’s quiet, but doesn’t deny any of the responsibility.
I’m sorry, but I do not think Tony is the problem at SHR it’s Gene Haas. It cannot be a coincidence that his F1 team sucks and has started to suck more than usual around the same time SHR has been sucking. Yeah I know Tony is be a distracted with his drag racing and the SRX but I think it’s mostly Gene.
SRX is gone this year
One funny thing Haas can’t go over seas to F1. If my memory is correct he is a felon (tax fraud) he can’t travel overseas. But I’m sure he’s at the NC shop or the CNC business
@@isaiahmarker407 I know
around when he became a convicted felon for failing to pay 38 million in taxes, and is currently under investigation for selling cnc machines to russia.
Gene Haas had multi million dollar sponsorships before Stewart co-owned the team and they still sucked. Weren’t for Tony Gene would’ve shut down the team long ago. One of the worst team owners in the garage.
Calling it now, Amazon is going to give Dale Jr a blank check.
Watch that they ax the races from their stream after low subscription rates
@@S.K.R.E.Inc.they have a huge subscription rate already but i doubt they have a ton of potential new race fans.
@@steveeazy18 unless they get the rights to Indycar for 2025 (NBC’s contract expires at the end of the year & they are unlikely to renew) or the F1 rights once the ESPN contract expires next year in addition to NASCAR.
jeff bezos knows
Not what you want to hear from your team leader…..don’t blame me, blame the crew chiefs, blame the engineers…yikes. When you’re at the top of the pyramid you need to accept accountability and take the blame.
Exactly, you’re not going to hear that from Gibbs, Roger Penske, and Mr. H
@foREVerZ28 honestly you’re not gonna hear that from Denny nor MJ either.
I don’t think that’s what Tony Stewart meant, but it sounds horrible.
@@TheJudoJokerthat is true. I don’t think any owner is going to say that. But then again no other owners currently (besides Denny) has been a driver that’s been as successful as Tony, so I get it. Just a bad look all around and I agree I don’t think he meant anything real bad by it. We all know Smoke has a big voice and I think he’s fed up with fans and media push back
NO
I worried about SHR, especially with those comments. The Nascar team is Stewart’s team. The F1 team is Gene’s. Vision and direction starts at the top, and it’s Stewart’s job to own and drive that vision
For Smoke the classic quote “The buck stops here” changes to “The Buck doesn’t even pause here.”
$45-50 per month!!!! For 3 channels?!?! You can get full cable coverage with services like Fubo and Sling for less than that. That streaming service is going to tank harder than any other before it. Who in their right mind would go out of their way to pay more for less product?
It’s ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, Fox, FS1, FS2, TNT, TBS and 5-6 others, but still way overpriced. I was expecting around $20 a month. I have sling currently. I don’t see this making me want to change. This also doesn’t cover NBC or USA races. I don’t think peacock will ever show the races on USA. Almost everyone will stay with cable or sling, fubo, YouTube TV, etc.
45-50 dollars is comical if sling is less than 40 usually
Broadcast Booth executives need to review what made Ned Jarrett, Benny Parsons, and Buddy Baker work so well…and then find the people that fit.
Benny parsons and buddy baker .
@@slick-px4pq thx. Had a brain fade there. Lol. Don’t know how I got my wires crossed.
whats dumb is all these different streaming services eventually add up to more than cable.
I agree. Live streaming was supposed to be the answer to expensive cable TV, but it sounds like they’ll be the same price or more. It’s all the racing series that are doing it. If they want to lose all the older fans in pursuit of the younger ones, good luck with that.
@@tomchrisfield7348nascar hasn’t really cared about losing fans for about 15 years now. They’ll just remove more seats from the tracks to make them look full and do like Daytona and paint the seats different colors so from a distance on tv cameras it gives the illusion of people sitting in the stands. That clash race Saturday had as many fans in the crowd as a high school football game from what I could tell by the highlights. I hardly even watch nascar anymore and used to loyally watch every race. I might have seen half a dozen last year and didn’t even watch the full races. I’m certainly not paying a bunch of different streaming services just to watch a race
Stream the races on twitch for $0
NASCAR needs to bite the bullet and get JR on their books. They would be able to loan him out to both FOX and NBC and have a consistent voice on the broadcast throughout the year
$40 for a combined chunk of the sports landscape. What’s ironic is that we’ll end up paying more for streaming than we did cable and still not have ala carte choices.
The truth is, If Jr came out today and said he will run this 1 season in cup, after years of being retired, he would be voted most popular driver, sell the most merch and appeal out of anyone, and he would increase the tv viewership by a decent margin. He is the most influential and magnetic person in the sport of stock car racing. It’s amazing, like it or hate it.
I love it. He’s a great ambassador for the sport and has given it a great image. He’s trying to lead a true resurgence!
I agree with you. If Tony’s gonna put the blame on the people that he hired… Maybe he should actually do something about the problem he seems to have identified. If the people he hired arent getting the job done, maybe it’s time to find new people for that job.
Totally agree with your take on Stewart. His name is on the building. He’s responsible. I think he has too much loyalty to Zippi .
Zippy was good but he might be too old school just like Rodney is
I love this kid Rajah. He’s well spoken, wants to put in the work to become better, and apparently has peaked the interest of HMS!!!
