Why can’t all the nascar announcers just shutup and bring the race. Why do we need them all keep running the mouths for hours and then finally start the race. I just want to see the race and do not care all about the car setups, that doesn’t mean nothing to me. Get rid all the waltrips & wallace’s. Lets get the race going, when they say they are coming on at 12pm central time, the drivers should be in the cars ready to go. Again, all nacar announcers need to go bye bye

Aug 27 Bristol race is pre-empted by Irene on ABC and ESPN is airing a high school footbal game. NASCAR wake up and put the races on SPEED. ABC & ESPN suck, both delay coverage and cut away, announcers have no idea what they are talking about and the commercials every 10 minutes are icing on th cake

I agree, the coverage sucks! Dumb bitch(why they have them is beyond me) said, “500 laps, 500 miles!” – at Bristol!!!! Do the math dumb ass or go sell Avon!

I watch NASCAR in HD, on a 7.1 surround sound system. The ABC surround sound SUCKS! Give me back my FOX coverage! The FOX HD surround sound broadcast blows everyone else away. With FOX, I can actually hear the cars going from one side of my living room to the other. With FOX, I feel like I’m there, watching the race in person. ABC tries to do this, but I’m sorry to say that their efforts do not come close to the realism that FOX has achieved. After FOX has spoiled me with the best HD surround sound broadcast possible, I don’t think I will ever be happy with anything else. I also have to say that the ABC programming in my DVR’s guide has been wrong on several occations, causing me to end up with 4 hours of weather radar to watch, rather than the weekend’s race. Argh! This never happened with FOX. As far as the announcers go, I find myself ignoring them or even turning the volume down and listening to something else because they just aren’t very interresting. I want my FOX NASCAR back! As a fan/consumer, I would love to see NASCAR on FOX all year long. Their coverage is so much more superior than this ABC/ESPN junk. (sorry…)

I have a major complaint with abc coverage of last nights race. The sound of the engines roaring around the track is so loud that you can’t hear what the announcer’s saying. Yes it’s like being right at the racetrack (minus the smells) but if that’s their goal, then shut up and let me watch the race, I’ll figure out who wrecked later. It’s horrible when in the winner’s circle you can hear the announcer for the stands better than you can hear the interview with the winner. Horrible and annoying all at the same time. Either turn down the volume for the cars or turn up the volume for the announcers~!
