Why NASCAR Fans LOVE NBC 

Better Than Whatever Fox Is Doing Now.

Great, honest more exciting than fox

I hate it

It's better than what fox is doing rn

Very interesting imo they should bring back CBS and get rid of fox and let cbs do the first half of nascar fox coverage has just gone downhill theses last few years

I know right although I believe Mike joy is the only one in the fox sports booth that takes it seriously but for NBC & the TV channel USA take it more seriously then Fox

This. It’s not hard to comprehend. This isn’t wrestling. Story lines and drama happen organically when the stakes are raised.

No they don't, last weekend was the worst I ever saw, they could not keep the camera on the action. missed most of the race.

nbc are marxist

​@@Coolbreeze0988what's wrong with wrestling? 🧐

I beg to differ with the booth. Replace Rick Allen with Allen Bestwick and the statement stands. Also, now would be the time for Fox to restructure and stop obsessing over and treating us like... you know

They suck

​@@S.K.R.E.Inc.I miss Bestwick so much.

Oh godddd who can forget Digger?

The lack of Clint Bowyer makes the race so much better

Post race shows are just needed. I feel like the guys at NBC just love the sport. Nothing seems to be overproduced. Just let the guys say what's on their mind.

They used to do F1. And I miss it.

@@noviranger239 especially since all ESPN does is simply use the Sky Sports feed which is terrible. Crofty & Brundle are horrible to listen to & Sky focuses too much on the struggles of Mercedes & how good Red Bull (especially Max) is. For those wondering why ESPN doesn't use their own commentators or send their own camera crews to races it is because they want to save money & get easy ratings by catering F1 to the average sports fan instead of the hardcore one. It's hypocritical of ESPN to do this especially since with the SRX coverage that is going to start in a few weeks, they are using their own commentators in Allan Bestwick & James Hinchcliffe (though those two basically came over from CBS when the SRX switched networks).

The post race show was really just a factor of the weather causing the race to start at broadcast start, thus allowing more time at the end. Normally we have that 35 minutes of bs before the green flag and whatever is left (often nothing) for post race. I think we'll see the typical stale formula back sooner than we know it.

@@Tcottong I would like for NASCAR to jump right into the race kind of like what F1 does. For example if a race starts at 9am for F1 the lights is out at 9:05. If it was NASCAR the green flag would wave 30 minutes after it’s on the air.

Your nuts nascar today is a gimmick now. It not like the 70s and 80s real racing. Like this sequential transmission big deal a monkey or dog could be trained to use one. Forward is the next higher gear backwards is a lower gear. Bring back a H pattern where it took skill.

Cringe the whole time

And no Clint Bowyer!!!! Best part

I heard that it was 50/50. Some people could hear him others couldn’t. Unfortunately you were the one who couldn’t and it really does suck

Primarily Burton, but unfortunately Jr. too... when they get excited, they hit a register that is just not pleasant on the ears. Not a hater, but I am not the only one who feels this way. I would not be sad to see Burton go, but overall, agreed that NBC's coverage felt better than Fox's.

@@timmannchicken maybe turn it down? Idk why peoples audios sound different.

They were broadcasting from the end of pit row for the first stage (I believe that is how long Dale Jr. And Jeff Burton did that), then went to the booth. But yes it was difficult to hear them at times. You heard more of the engines roaring by than the broadcasters themselves.

Yep. I couldn't understand some of their commentary when the cars were roaring by them.

If only they got the rights to Fuel...

I could still see that happening though. The are basically in the slot time of Nightly News if they weren't the post race would be short.

They have the championship race and still cant get good enough viewership. Thats a phoenix problem though

NASCAR ratings have always fallen off as the year progresses

Agree mostly, but I really dislike the IndyCar broadcast team. They should be totally impartial and are far from it! I do scream at the TV when they show favoritism.

Died in 2007,Benny Parsons was the best commentary ever from 2000's

@@muhammadwahyuhidayat21498 about parsons don’t forget the 90s

He is a call god.

Make way Dale Earnhardt and Richard Petty there's another 7 time champion Jimmie Johnson wins Homestead He is the most winningest driver of the decade, 2 more turns, Kyle Busch is your 2019 champion at Homestead

@@americanwalmarts3565 good job staying on topic. Very well done. 👎

AGRESSIVE GOES AROUND!!

I mostly prefer the radio broadcasts.

It showed on Memorial Day weekend. Dale Jr was amazing alongside Leigh Duffy despite being mostly in NASCAR. They made it work out, the storylines were clearly told, the commercial breaks were all side by side, they engaged the viewers from start to finish. Fox on the other hand, completely flopped. There was so much cringe, I had to turn off the TV and turn on the radio to get some decent broadcasting for the 600

No one cares if you are first lmao, get out of 2018

Hopefully Fox gets screwed out of the new deal and NBC goes all in. It has the potential to tank 20 years worth of Fox and finish what the original 3 started (BP,AB,WDJ)

@@S.K.R.E.Inc. Well said!

I live in the same small town as Bill Webber. I see him from time to time at the grocery store post office Bank excetera. I know his voice the moment I hear and I cringe. He's a douchebag in every facet of his life.

The Clint Bowyer show is cringe

Amen! I prefer the Fox broadcasts in large part one reason: Mike Joy. Rick Allen contributes little to the coverage other than ambiguous and outrageous statements of manufactured drama and repetitive questions to the color guys that either strain credulity or are framed too basic for even a casual fan. The loss of a pit perspective with Larry Mac in the studio detracts from the coverage significantly. Steve Letarte provides perhaps the best analysis of anyone in the NBC booth. Jeff Burton, once a very clean and smooth driver, cheerleads the need and hope for some type of take out of one driver by another, e.g. "They are patient now, but 20 laps from the finish things will be different." Despite his decline, he still has infinitely more class and style than Bowyer. On multiple occasions, Bowyer will interrupt another commentator to emphasize a contrasting perspective just for the sake of it. I find this most annoying when he not-so-subtly patronizes a guest in the booth more accomplished than he. Most satisfy this standard. Moreover, he openly advocates blocking and spinning others out to the point of absurdity. In the booth, Earnhardt provides some insight and analysis, but I actually find him a far better interviewer and storyteller on his podcasts. His upbringing, knowledge, willingness to listen, and ability to have people open up to him melds so that he, his co-host, and the guest shine. Fox started to decline when Jeff Gordon entered the booth. I consider him the most vanilla and uninspiring announcer who provided minimal insight from a driver's perspective. In my opinion, the ideal booth for the time being (taken from those at Fox and NBC) would have Mike Joy, Steve Letarte, and Earnhardt (I'd still want Larry Mac in the role he serves now, also). I'd prefer the Fox pit reporters but NBC's perform well. I'd eliminate the position held that Michael Waltrip and Rutledge Wood at Fox and NBC, respectively. Their obnoxious personalities fit the role annoying well. The role, however, adds zero value to the broadcast.

Waltrip wasn't any greater than Bowyer. In fact I think Bowyer many weeks was better. Fox never really replaced Larry Mac in the booth.

@@marklittle8805 Except DW would give history lessons on 1970s NASCAR, which I learned a LOT from.

@@TransNFLGirl most of what he talked about didn't have much relevance to today and he was a decade removed from driving. I like DW but he didn't tell me what I needed to know. He spent a good part of the show trying to be entertaining by going on about the stupid gopher "Digger" and with the cornball sayings. I have been watching racing for 45 years, and not just NASCAR. I need more than just Boogities and stories of how DW outsmarted Cale. I have read all that and heard the stories. DW is a great guy, but I watch, I want him to tell me what I didn't know or what I need to know. Jr, Burton and Letarte are doing that

@@marklittle8805 "Fox never really replaced Larry Mac in the booth." Therein lies the decline of the Fox booth, especially with the addition of Jeff Gordon. I still prefer Fox, but the gap has narrowed considerably. I attribute that, however, to one person: Clint Bowyer.

@@michaellavin6417 Jeff was alright. At least he knew the cars and the drivers he was commenting on. DW was two to three generations removed from the racing and had he some of the involvement outside TV with current teams like Jeff or Jr he would be able to speak more relevant points. Larry Mac even today knows exactly what is going on because he is still doing consulting work and has put the time in to stay current on that CC's face.

It was Nascar on ESPN

Rick Allen’s improved massively, he doesn’t sound too much like a meme anymore and he’s toned down on the excitement and makes calls interesting

@@johnhaas2523 probably not but I can dream

I think Nashville fairgrounds as the all star race is bold but anything is possible

Finish at Night time at Homestead-Miami Season Finale and Charlotte Motor Speedway Add Light for Infield Tracks for NASCAR Charlotte Roval at Night

@@robertlynn4435 They’ve already used lights on the infield portion of the Roval, so it definitely shouldn’t be a problem. Would make it an even more unique road course being under the lights. And yeah I could get behind the finale at Homestead being a Saturday Night race.

In my opinion
