Can I have another choice? I don't like either.

One year, I even timed the amount of race coverage vice total air time finding that of the 3.5 hours of air time, only 43 minutes was actually showing the cars on the track...and then, it was mostly when accidents occured. Well, a thing called ESPN kinda took over the NASCAR viewing and WOW! A guy got to see what a real race looked like...I was stationed in Alaska at the time and some of the races were time-delayed, but being able to see the race was a thrill beyond imagination. A couple of years went by and the networks finally got the idea that maybe us fans really wanted to see cars go around in circles...TNT and a couple of other flegling networks got into the game...then the traditional networks got the word...they came on line, but while some things could be a little better, the coverage is really pretty good now. The possible exceptions, of course the the head-ache making Boogity stuff that Jaws keeps up and the initiation of the Spencer abortive attempt to share his inane clap-trap vision of what he thinks we want to see and hear. Spencers ability to announce is almost as bad as his inability to drive clean and fair...a moron that advanced on the track through the fenders of others...then sitting on the side lines griping about "the other guy." D.E. once remarked that when Spencer is on the track, all of 360 degrees around him is dangerous...it stymied me that France and crowd pushed safety on the track, but would still allow Spender to start! You may get the idea that Jimmy is not one of my favorite drivers...'Mr. Excitement' my rear-end!

My offer still stands, I'll buy the duck tape if someone would wrap it around Spender's mouth, In fact do the whole face. Not one of mine either.

i have to agree the old ESPN coverage was the best

Dr Jerry Punch ruled, he was everywhere on the track

We actually hit the mute button when DW gets a bit much to listen to...sorry, DW but your voice sounds likes fingernails on a black board when you get all excited....and when you cant spit it out and you start that duh,duh, duh stuff I want to finish the sentence for you...
I have no idea how Spencer got the job...I wonder if he spews spit when talking?? Now Kenny Wallace is a riot......"well there I go spinning across the grass" when reviewing highlights is a roar.....his laugh is so comical, like a little hyena. I like the cut-away car too.

On the other hand on FOX, I like Wally's World...and Thru The Field... oh yeah, and DW is not there.

i like FOX more than NBC. -- only thing is D.W. gets on my stinken nerves. they need a website to make a Fantasy casting crew LOL-- i really cant stand "Boogity Boogity Boogity" thats horrible

[LSC9901]

If you could get Parson, Weber and Joy, you'd have a real good broadcasting team. The rest of those guys are worthless in their current roles. Add Jimmy Spencer to the list of worthless TV personalities.

[Wampinrock]

To mention that Spencer should be added to the list of worthless personalities is only just part of the story...Jimmy has also accomplished being worthless as an owner and a driver. In fact, someone once told me that to "Jimmy things up" is a direct correlation to Spencer's life style. I've mentioned it beofre in this forum that the late Dale Earnhardt Sr, while fishing in Homer, Alaska once remarked that Spencer is a waste of an otherwise good race car. Not often do we find that a driver can blame all of the problems on everyone else without being able to see that his lack of talent and beligerent attitude causes his woes. But I like Fox better than any of the other networks as Fox, (while I can't stand the Boogity crap) will bend over backwards to insure coverage of their races in spite of rain, snow storms, hurricanes, tornados etc...that is a class act and one worthy of homage.

I've been a wondering, would someone please tell me why Jimmy punched Kurt? I wasn't able to follow what went on off track at the time.

Kurt did his usual thing... ran his mouth. It had been coming for a long time, Kurt disrespecting Spencer, wrecking him. One day Jimmy returned the favor(wrecking that is). Eventually it led to a confrontation after a race in which Bush pulled up to Jimmy ran his mouth with nasty words and Jimmy lit him up. It was caught on the camera in Bush's car.

It was couple a seasons ago if I remember correctly. It was a big deal cause Jimmy was suspended from the Bristol races(truck, Busch, Cup), and Kurt ended up winning the cup race.
