Do you enjoy NASCAR coverage on TNT?

Question

I was trying to watch commercials and TNT keeps interrupting them with a race. I mean really the NASCAR coverage on TNT makes the race unwatchable. They give you about 3 mins of race and 3 mins of ads. Mostly their crappy network shows that I wouldn’t spend a second watching. Wait this just in we had 7 mins of race time, a record I’m sure. Then coming out of commercials you get the ACDC songs which takes me about three days to get out of my head. Add the scroll bar, when they have the top and bottom scrolls going it leaves just over half my TV to watch the race. I can take or leave the commentators, but Petty seems to be wrong most of the time when he offers an opinion. DW rates high on the corny scale but I put him in the same league as John Madden as far as great broadcasters. NASCAR listens to the fans to make the races better so my appeal to NASCAR is, Please limit the amount of commercial time during a race broadcast.

Answer 1

I do enjoy the Nascar coverage on TNT. Im not fond of Adam Alexander because he reminds me of DW kissing up to certain drivers. Wally Dallenbach Jr.is my favorite of all commentators that do Nascar coverage. I like Kyle Petty too because he is not afraid to speak his mind and doesn't bow down and suck up to certain drivers. He tells it like it is and it makes people upset. Fox is the commercial king of Nascar race coverage.

Answer 2

I think the coverage is okay, although I wish they showed the race in a small spot of the screen during the commercials, but the thing I hate the most about the coverage is when they play the ACDC song...it's ok the first time then it's just annoying

Answer 3

I loved them when they had Wally, Benny Parsons, Alan Bestwick, and Bill Webber. They were the best by far. But now with Petty, the other Parsons, Shaheen, and Adam Alexander, it is terrible. It feels like I'm watching an old ARCA race or something. I don't really enjoy ESPN because Rusty is really annoying. So to me, FOX is the most entertaining.

Answer 4

I had to listen to the race on the radio as I was on the road all day. Having to listen to those clowns makes TNT seem OK. The radio coverage of these races is in a realm far beyond pathetic. I don't think those idiots at MRN or PRN, whatever it is, are even looking at the race when they comment.

Answer 5

I do to. I pass over FOX. I pass over DW, and we see a number of the different announcers on velocity, throughout prepare, and stuff, and then I pass over the Hollywood inn too. I nevertheless say Boogity, Boogity, Boogity, on the beginning up of each and every race, so i'm continually thinking approximately DW.. ESPN will do a extra helpful pastime, as they have Rusty Wallace, and the announcers honestly comprehend what driverscontinual which vehicles, and that they comprehend what they are speaking approximately. i like TNT extremely, I advise I hate all their categorised classified ads, yet Kyle Petty isnt that undesirable of an announcer, and that i enjoyed how he replaced into saying and using at Sonoma, and then i like that new announcer, and the lady pit highway reporter is cool, and that i like Larry Mac. i won't stand Wally's international, and that i won't be able to stand Wally. i do unlike him, what so ever. GRRRR... I pass over having Fox, yet thank goodness it extremely is not something of the season like final 365 days replaced into, and final 365 days it replaced into no longer something yet categorised classified ads, yet thank goodness ESPN is taking on after TNT/NBC, I cant take extra then 6 races of all their categorised classified ads, it extremely is adequate tocontinual you insane.

Answer 6

I only got to see the last 15 laps...Comcast saw to that. However, it may have been the best 15 laps of the race. Oh, I finished the race online - commercial free.

Answer 7

Yes, Go here--> http://jayski.com/pages/commercials.htm and you'll learn people like to whine alot because the commercial time is always about the same between networks and vary in proportion to total broadcast minutes.

Answer 8

They do have alot commercials of which I pay no atttention to, I usually will watch the race online when they come on. Even though I have some problems with DW jumping to place blame, before he really knows what happens, I still prefer Speed.....ESPN like Allen Bestwick, but Jerry Punch gets on my nerves.

Answer 9

I think FOX only cared about was showing the Daytona 500. I think TNT is better than both but they do show a lot of crappy commercials.

Answer 10

Yes, it's better than Fox and A LOT better than ESPN's coverage. Fox's coverage treats the fans like juveniles, in my honest opinion, and ESPN doesn't even care. They have the rights to broadcast just to have them, and they treat the fans like crap. I'd say that TNT knows what the fans want (Wide-Open Coverage, RaceBuddy, etc.).

Answer 11

gotta agree with you here. i ws thinking the same thing when i wentt to the kitchen. that they sure have alot of commercials and i wouldnt watch any of those shows either..lol. kyle and walley seem to not only be wrong alot (unlike dw,hes right just about every time he comments) but they also sem to snitch on drivers. like why dont you dshut up and let nascar make a call instead of pointing out ,penalties, and paybacks and stuff. espn is ok but i prefer fox coverage caue they have dw , larry mac,and such.cant wait till daytona 2011! Im pretty sick of the JJ show every week. oh and just a quick rant.. i HATE that commercail with the little kid calling grandma,UGGGHHHH shut the F up! I hate that sh#t. play it on lifetime or oxygen or something!

Answer 12

We had PRN playing through my stereo system today. There post race show on Nascar.com was good. But we rarely ever listen to the media idiots on TV at my place.



Go Dale Jr..Win at Daytona

Answer 15
