They all have too many commercials to suit me! I was trying to figure out if I could mute just Rusty or electronically alter his voice. He is really getting on my nerves. He and Andy Petree sounded like a couple of school kids--I say "free pass", you say "Lucky Dog." Anyway, I thought some of the networks could not use "Lucky Dog" but I don't remember why.
Dave Despain did a survey about it and "too many commercials" was the chief reason cited for sagging ratings. Of course, sometimes boring racing, race length, announcer attitude and favoritism, etc. are contributing factors.

ESPN and Rusty sucks. Another announcer made a statement about Dale Jr and Rusty quickly turned the focus on Ryan Newman.

I had some friends over for the race, one of them was trying to count commericals, she gave up after 142 it was unreal, we had the race on radio, and turned the volumn down on the TV, I had track pass and scanner going...I'm so sick of Rusty Boring Wallace,I could scream.....Put Kenny up there, atleast he's funny and has a better voice, Rusty nags on my ears.. I've heard there are going to be some guests in the booth when ABC takes over.. I'm just glad I will be in Talladega, Atlanta, Charlotte, Phoenix and Homestead, I won't have to put up with any TV announcers..

bad news do, ESPN and ABC are owned by the same company, they will take more ad breaks.
why the more ad breaks: simple: NASCAR hates the Side by side concept that ESPN/ABC has for IRL coverage and NASCAR tells the networks to run a certain numbers of ads per race that NASCAR tells them to. plus if you have Direct TV, the Hot Pass PPV would be a thing for you, but the only down side, they are on-board cams.
the reasons for NASCAR's rating woes are because of the ads.

Disney owns ABC and ESPN.
You will get the same exact coverage for the rest of the year.

Things aren't going to change with ABC. It's all owned by Disney. Same coverage.

ESPN COOULD LEARN SOMETHING FROM THE IRL!
If they are going to annoy us with all those ads at least do it side by side!
