Bowhntr Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Does anybody else feel like you watched 4 hours of commercials with an occasional break in of a race? I HATE the coverage when NBC covers a race. I kept count yesterday and at lap 78 we had only saw 32 laps of racing. Plus the longest stretch of uninterupted racing was the first 8 laps after that there were no more than 5 green flag laps without a darn commercial. I understand the sponsorship and all that but I dont need to see 3 minutes of what NBC has coming on for the next week. Maybe when FOX gets it back we can see some racing. ANd what is this "if trouble breaks out we'll break in" Twice they came back from commercial to a yellow flag. Not as it was happening, shucks they were already in the pits before they went back after Truex hit the wall. Sorry just had to vent a little.

Chrud Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Re: NBC Stinks!!! NBC's coverage was 10X better than SPEED's truck coverage Friday night. They only had about 3 green flag laps between commercials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABuckSlayer Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Re: NBC Stinks!!! I agree Bowhntr. I was telling my wife the whole time that we were watching the "Commercial 500" not Daytona. Problem is the networks have to pay such big bucks to get the races that they have to pay the bills somehow. Therefore... more commercials. It's all about money!

MUDRUNNER Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Re: NBC Stinks!!! I wish they would get rid of Benny P.He says some of the dumbest things I ever heard on there. Did anyone hear him say "up there where the cars are on the outside,we call that the top of the race track,and where the cars are on the inside,that's what we call the bottom of the race track." B.P. is a GENIOUS.Holy cow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Re: NBC Stinks!!! I am not fond of the commentary, Mr. Dallenbach the know it all of racing, if he knew it all he'd still be out there. Benny is hard to get use too, out of that whole NBC bunch I like Alan Bestwick, he got a raw deal when they moved him down to pit lane and took him off Speed Channels Monday NASCAR show. I enjoy him, its the others I like to mute!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy Baker is the spotter for the #12 of Ryan Newman, man I was pulling for Ryan, anyone but that #48 car, anyone!! Plus Penske is due for some success at Daytona!

RTF Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Re: NBC Stinks!!! Dont worry, this is NBC last year doing nascar. BTW I think Alan Bestwick, got way too much sun while down in Daytona this year. The boy was burnt ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowJoe Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Re: NBC Stinks!!! I think Fox should have the races all year and not this crap of playing hide the race every couple weeks. I miss Boogity Boogity Boogity, Let's go Racin' Boys!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
str8shooter48 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Re: NBC Stinks!!! The only good I see that NBC has over Fox is that NBC is broadcast in High Definition. Fox is still old analog not even digital in my area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIwhitetailhunter Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Re: NBC Stinks!!! It sure would be nice for NBC's bus to leave Benny behind and for FOX to lose DW in the crowd. I don't know who's worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
