I'll miss you so much, i'm already counting the Days 'till 09 speedweeks so you can broadcast again

I HATE TNT AND ESPN/ABC!

can't wait for digger, the fox crew and everything.

[Phils20]

Well, you are probably the only one!

Hell, I partied all weekend to celebrate! The only thing that makes me sad about that is that I can't tell them in person that they suck.

Bring me ESPN any day.

Boogity, boogity, boogity, and all that tighten those belts down one more time make me vomit.

And digger should be hunted down for his pelt...

None of them are really great. Bring back Ned and Benny and add Kyle and Mike Joy to the mix.

Is that sarcasm? I don't hate Fox as much as others, but I don't think it is that much better than the rest. One question is ESPN/ABC going to do the split screen commercials like they do for Indy car?

A big no on that. Wish they would but it just isn't in the cards. My guess is the sponsors don't want to give up any portion of the TV screen.

Maybe the others aren't great, but at least they aren't hokey like all that crap on Fox.

I'll take DJ or Rusty any day over the Junebug loving DW.

It's a shame too, because I know that Larry Mac and DW know their racing, I just think they got things out of control. Someone just needs to rein them in, and remind them that they aren't the show.

Don't you meant the Kyle Busch loving DW? He talked about him 4 times as much as Junior this year.

[simple simon]

i still remember when they first came out with the crew tire changer helmet-cam

I think he talks about both of em too much.

Didn't you hear him almost burst into tears when Shrub wrecked Jr???

We must watch different races.

All I hear is the 18 and 88. The other 41 need to sue Fox...

DW is way too attached to those two to even come close to being objective.

And the only reason he mentions the 18 is the Toyota connection.

Am I the only one that see;s that?

It's not about Kyle, it's about that emblem on the front. The Waltrips are in bed with the Toyota's. When DW had his truck team, the ran trucks, and of course, Mikeys great team runs em!

Agreed!

Yes, but who was he crying for, Junior for getting wrecked, his new golden boy Kyle for wrecking Junior, or both of them? My guess is for both of them, since he's so emotionally tied with those two.

We must watch different races.

I'm pretty sure we're watching the same race.

DW is way too attached to those two to even come close to being objective.

He as much as admitted that yesterday about Kyle, and it's already well known how close his relationship with Junior is. But yes I agree, he's totally lost his objectivity at the expense of all the other drivers.

And the only reason he mentions the 18 is the Toyota connection.

No, you're probably not the only one who sees that, and I believe you're right. But DW's infatuation with Kyle is more than just what brand of car he drives. He's fallen gaa-gaa in love with Kyle Busch the driver. I'm pretty sure he'd be falling all over himself about Kyle no matter what he drove, as long as he was driving and winning like he is.

[j-man24fan]

Well, from my perspective,

1. Fox Doesn't have a friggin telecaster that says My *** every second (which as a christian offends me, and ticks me off, because Kyle is supposed to be a christian too.)
2. Fox goes to the action, up front.
3. Fox makes the prerace shows VERY entertaining (fortune tellers and long beards for instance)
4. I've Grown attatched to DW and Larry Mac's catchphrases.
5. Fox ALWAYS shows the restarts after caution, unlike ESPN.
6. Fox makes the Race sound exciting, unlike TNT "coming to the checkered, it's Jamie Mcmurry!" that didn't sound any enthusiastic at all.
7. They Don't have Rusty broadcasting. like on saturday OMG! OMG!!! the TRACK HAS GRIP!!! IT HAS FRIGGGIN GRIP AND RUBBER ON IT!!!! AFTER ALL THAT RAIN IT HAS GRIP!!!!! THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE IT HAS GRIP OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!
8. they make passes sound exciting! unlike ESPN- "here, here comes gordon on the outside!" that was L.A.M.E.
9. Speaking of Such, They actually SHOW the passes. pathetic....
10. They don't go to the friggen draft Trax every second either "oh, that was a pass! let's see how the air worked on that Pass"
11. I don't care about DW's attachment to certain drivers, he and larry mac were dissapointed that they didn't get to broadcast races where Stewart and Gordon won at.
12. They Talk about mechanics on the car when the time is actually RIGHT. not every few seconds.

yeah, considering we have a crew cheif, and an amazingly funny past racer and Commentator, Fox pwns TNT and ESPN to bite sized pieces. i wish Fox could get enough money so they CAN take the whole season.

[Measure]

As a second year fan, FOX is the only network that seems to care about... actually care about... NASCAR.

The other networks act like they are showing the races only because they have to.

I didn't get it last year, but now I"ll easily take "Boogity Boogity" over "...and the green flag waves..." ANY Sunday.

Other than your #1, I just don't agree with a most of that.

3,6,8,9 and 11 in particular. Fortune tellers and long beards??? You can't be serious. Tell me you con't enjoy that...

I don't need anyone to tell me what is exciting, I can figure that out for myself.

And as far as showing every pass for the lead on Fox. I'm laughing myself silly right now.

The only passes Fox wants to show are the ones that involve the 88 or the 18, and maybe an HMS car.

The rest of the field might as well not run.

Rmember, The Fox guys are the ones that wanted to CHARGE the teams to show the logos on the cars.

For those who weren't watching then, or have just forgotten, remember the jerks digitally removed sponsor logos on the cars they showed by the drivers names in that 2001 Daytona 500. NASCAR had to twist thier arm to bring them back for Rockingham.

Fox could never show another race, and I'd be happy.

And Rusty won't be calling the races this year, DJ will. Rusty will be in those segments when the come back from commercial. Very brief.

I think DJ is gonna be an excellent addition.

And Kyle Petty will be doing the TNT show. He is taking those TNT races off.

I look forward to seeing how both of those drivers do in the booth.

Thanks to Fox, I say!

For being done!

[bears9]

Good bye FOX and good riddance, I'll give TNT is awful, but give me ESPN over FOX any day.

[Quality88]

I'll take ESPN now that DJ is takin Rusty's place.
