The races are now on an NBC based channel instead of a Fox based one.  Different announcers.

I wish the Waltrip motor-mouth boys would go away forever....I'm tired of listening to them....but then again, I think Jeff Gordon's whiny voice might be just as bad, or worse

I tend to agree about Gordon, not looking forward to that.  DW doesn't bother me much, Mikey is an idiot.

 :iagree:  

And, now without Fox Sports 1 in the mix, perhaps those that have basic or no cable will be able to see races that they would otherwise miss.............Good bye Fox....Hello NBC, please learn something from the other guys....

With only 7 of the 20 races on NBC over the air,  the other 13 races are on NBCSN.    How is this any different than FS1?   Perhaps I am missing something.

Really? I didn't know that. Guess I won't be watching Nascar much then if at all the rest of the season, because I don't get that channel either :P :eyes:

I missed that part as well.....perhaps it's for the best as I should be using my time to work on my Charger....not sitting in front of the TV.....Thank you NASCAR, and NBC.

I can't remember the last time I sat and watched a race.  It might have been in April, but not for sure.  All I know is, I'm not missing much.  I can get all the info in the sports section of the news.

The real NASCAR ceased to exist after I'd say 1970. Now it's just a corporation and the "fans" are nothing but $$. The latest PC move proves it. Look at the stands at most races, they're not 100% full. People don't want to spend money on something that is not exciting or even fun anymore. Now, the fans that would come because it was something started in the South and spend tons of $$, are being shoved out the door because of what? A few fanatics seeing/reading something into what happened and who did it? Ah forget it(said disgustingly), most people in this country anymore have closed minds. I will close with this, I only joined this site for the info on Chargers but I grew to want to possibly meet some members and hang out etc with them. Now I don't know. :rotz:

Watching cup practice, and they just had about a 15 car pile up. K. Busch, Biffle, Edwards, McMurry, Truex, Hamlin,  and a few others.

wreck was Brad K's fault.....

Surprisingly, coverage seems pretty good.  The announcers aren't all that bad either.

definitely a fresh change of pace from DW's ridiculous stuttering and boogity crap.

12:35 in the morning by me, and I been watching the Nascar race which is just past half way, and they just had their 3rd major "big one" multi car wreck. Not to many cars running without damage now or even left running at this point, lol. This one started back like 7th position. Some of these guys already were in one of the other two wrecks. Edwards got hit so hard in the second one, that he got lifted completely off the track, and was on top of the 33 car completely for a few seconds. That was his second wreck of the night, and is out of the race at this point. Dale jr & the 48 car are swapping for the lead.

#3 CAR WENT INTO THE CATCH FENCE ON THE LAST LAP IN A HUGE WRECK but Dilion walked away. The car was totally ripped apart. Several team crew member ran to the car. The car went from 190mph to 0 in a second when hitting the fence.

 :brickwall: :brickwall: :brickwall: :brickwall: They pretty much just let him win.  Hoping the Bayne would have been more of a factor after the gwc.  

Hope everyone in the stands is ok. :o

3 fans were hurt they just said. I thought the car went into the stands for a second

I'm surprised the catch fence held up as good as it did.  It took a direct hit, unlike other incidents.   That ranks up there with the Bobby Allison accident.

TruckDriver

He went over the 11 cars front wheel launching him all the way across the track into the fence, wow :o

Did you see Stewart?  He drove under him entirely, and never hit him.  Several cars did actually.


Minor injuries to the fans.  Good news there.

TruckDriver

Yes I did! WOW! Brad K. nailed Dillon last. Holy crap. He is going to be very sore later. And yes, very good news about the fans :2thumbs:

Only 3 of the top 27 cars were NOT in that last wreck :o
