It was the worst coverage ever; I agree with that. TNT messed this up big time. It was extremely unprofessional; something you would expect out of local coverage of a high school game. Way too many commercials; which was their major malfunction last season (will they ever learn). When things went wrong for them they immediately cued a commerical. Post-race was dreadful and nearly non-exsistent.
In their defense though; Larry Mac had lyngitis (which they should've had someone stand in for him instead of making him commentate with such a horse voice.) The mic for Kyle wasn't working right.
TNT started strong at Pocono and Michigan; but it better come up with a game plan for disasters like the ones they faced at Sonoma; other then going to commercial. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong for them there; and they where not ready for any of it. Pitiful planning on their part led to the worst broadcast in Motorsports history.

TNT stinks, The only high light of the afternoon was hearing Petty say the "F" word. And it WAS Petty guys, Why would Kenseth say it when he knew what happened, and the replay was from Petty's car when he said it! Petty had no idea who hit him and he later apologized for the language. (when he took blame for the crash,) he was looking at the 91 in the mirror and Kenseth came plowing through. All though it wasn't Petty's fault, I admire him taking the blame.

Did you see the digital markers made to look like a real sign that had the turn number? I cant wait till the next network takes over.

I was mad about them not showing the finishing order. I wanted to see where others came in at. I had to get online and go to the nascar website. Sucks.
Go RCR!! Finishing 2nd, 3rd and 4th.

All that was true but I liked the fact they showed "racing" with in the field.

I thought it was very unprofessional, for all the reasons you mentioned plus the radio communication was very poor. They have a long way to go to match Fox's coverage.

Every race they have done is horrible. I assumed it would get better as they got all their equipment setup after the 1st race they did. It hasn't. If anything its getting worse.

TNT should stick to showing movies over the weekend and leave the sports to better networks. Just my opinion.

TNT really blew it ! I went to the NASCAR web site to see where everyone finished. What the crap, they are as bad as NBC, couldn't interview more drivers, had to go because of "commitments"? GET OUT OF TELEVISING NASCAR, you bunch of amateurs. Where o where is ESPN ??? Wah !!!

Road course races are seldom entertaining. Name one that had you on the edge of your seat. These cars and most of the drivers are meant to turn left and go in circles.
