termite#99 Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 You won't hear me complain about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 I understand that ABC/ESPN is very interested in taking NBC's portion of the season. Nick Holt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drv45n05 Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 As I have said before, Alan Bestwick is the only one at NBC that has a clue and they moved him to the pits. I just hope ABC/ESPN doesn't hire the three idiots that are in the booth right now for NBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hray Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 I cringe at mid season every year. I love it when all 3 guys are talking to hear themselves talk, the camera is on some car running 35th and someone makes a spectacular pass for the lead-----and then they don't even have a replay!!! I say good to see them go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KahneFan Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 I'd like to see them use the "side-by-side" feature more often where they show commercials on one side and the race on the other. I've seen Indy do this, and I've seen NASCAR do this (once). I actually pay more attention to the commercials when this is happening. Of course, I would never actually have a chance to hit the bathroom then, but who needs to do that anyway I also agree about not missing NBC at all.

KahneFan Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Simple request.. keep it on the basic (non cable) channels... no more of this TNT/FX crap!@ They offer a very basic cable package (2-20 - or so) for $12/mo. The ONLY reason I had to upgrade to full cable is for this reason My Wife and I were just fine with 20 (clear) channels... until I got into racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Jerry Punch does the IRL races now for ABC/ESPN. Saw him on their today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uhcougs Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 I dont even remeber the ABC/ESPN crews when they had the Cup Races... Seems like in the Booth it was Punch, Benny Parsons, and ..... I always enjoyed the old TNN broadcast team: Ned Jarrett, Eli Gold, and Buddy Baker wasnt it? CBS: Mike Joy, Ned Jarrett, and Benny Parsons? ABC/ESPN: Dr. Jerry Bunch, Buddy Baker, ? Seems like CBS and ESPN always "cross-mixed" there broadcast teams too. Sometimes using the same people as the other networks. I do always remeber it being good though! DW hasnt been retired long enough to make a true retired analyst. Larry Mac is doing a great job. BP is alot better when Wally Dallenbach isnt around. Mike Joy is ok, Bestwick is better. Kenny Schrader will make an EXCELLENT analyst when he retires.

TAMS boy Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 uhcougs, Bob Jenkins was another that was with ESPN and ABC I think from time to time. Fox and Speed are good enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbotoddie Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 Remember back in the early days of ESPN, Larry Nuber(spell)(now deceased I believe) and Bob Jenkins. These were the guys that started Nascar tv for me! turbotoddie Todd Farris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
