Reporters not knowing drivers names, commericals during restarts. And Nascar Now? Its a joke right? They are going to have a real show soon, right? Stacy Compton an expert? And who the jerk who keeps picking the 1 car to win.
Thank god for Boris, do you think he just waiting to make fun of one of them?

Jerry punch stumbles over his words...Rusty Wallace states the obvious...the pit reporters act like no one has ever seen a motor race before. Do they really need to dumb it down just for the casual fan? What the hell is with the draft tracker? could be the dumbest thing i have ever seen in my life. The tech center is pointless and tim brewer is a weird guy. NASCAR NOW sucks...they dont know what they hell they are talking about, i swear the show should be the Dale Earnhardt Jr show, since that is what the majority of the show is centered around. I am a die hard cup fan but ESPN isnt FOX or NBC.

I actually think that ESPN is pretty good at covering the race. I loved their wide open coverage that they had during the July race at Daytona, as I am a Jeff Gordon fan. Then I also think that NASCAR Now provides great insight and commentary on the drivers and post race things that the fans may not have heard about. Stacy Compton has been in the sport for a while and wasnt a horrible driver when he raced, and he knows what he is talking about, as do all NASCAR drivers, and with him being a former driver that makes him an expert. He doesnt know as much as say Jeff Gordon or Richard Petty or even the owners but he knows what he is talking about. I dont think that they intentionally do commercials during restarts and that the coverage could be alot worse. Not to long ago we were dealing with NBC and TNT which is definitely alot worse then this. Can NASCAR and their broadcasters cant please everyone.

Brad Daugherty did own a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series team, and that makes him as much an expert on racing as Felix Sabates, doesn't it?
I noticed that ABC set new ground for NASCAR coverage. They totally cut out the post race show, where you get to hear the drivers' comments.
I guess they must feel their viewership is up way too high, and wanted to lower it. That's the only explaination I can see, as ABC/ESPN must know what they are doing after all these years. Yes I'm being sarcastic, and yes, they suck like a sponge.

ESPN insurance extremely does suck, I honestly have cable and mine additionally shrink out for 5+ minutes! Plus the added small reveal screen with the consistent insurance the crap! Nascar could desire to easily stay with FOX, in spite of if the you guard the commentators or no longer, Fox does have the terrific "all around" insurance of the race! Why do no longer they a minimum of change displays, and make the race stay on the whole reveal screen, and the small reveal screen replace into the categorized classified ads!

ESPN has taken a great sport program and somehow "dumbed" it down. Personally I think even worse then TNT. At least TNT comes off knowing things about the drivers, tracks and people involved. ESPN seems to act like a bunch of ROOKIES when it comes to the who what and when of NASCAR. except RUSTY, he will always have my respect for have been "being there and done that."
If I have to see that dam Tech CENTER again showing us what happens or "what they mean" by dropping a cylinder, I might just go bust a valve on someones head!!!
FOX PLEASE come back!!!!

I'm extremely sick of ESPN's coverage. Mispronounced names, going to commerical during restarts, draft track that they have to "show off" every couple of minutes, it's horrible! Can't wait for FOX to get the coverage back.

I like Fox's coverage best. ESPN just does not live up to the quality of Fox's coverage.
