Fox Starts Advertising Wrecks, Dissing the Hard Core Fan


This last weekend was a complete rain-out at Texas Motor Speedway for both the Nationwide and NASCAR Sprint Cup series races.  I just waited out the rain delay and we got see some pretty decent racing on Monday.

But the thing that caught my eye this weekend was the amount of race accident replays that Fox was airing.

On Sunday I tuned in and started to notice why some of my peers diss on NASCAR.  With cowboy hats, broken English and an emotionally based reporter, some things seemed more clear today than most.

As the racers head into to Bristol, NASCAR’s most challenging and crash-filled track, the media must walk a very tight rope.  That tight rope is the difference between being an race car analyst and a circus barker!

That’s the opinion of Dale Jarrett, who will be calling the Saturday’s Nationwide event for ESPN, even as . . . → Read More: Feuds, Paybacks, and Other Fun Things!

It must be a sign that I am getting old, but I remember sitting up high in the stands just off turn four in the fall of 2004 when Carl Edwards on lap 312 was involved in another spectacular crash at Atlanta Motor Speedway.  This crash in involved Edwards and the man . . . → Read More: Atlanta 2004

After NASCAR just barely slapping the hand of Carl Edwards for his blatant actions Sunday, is there any fan that is not somewhat stunned??  Did NASCAR miss the boat?  Did NASCAR even see the same race that millions of us watched?

“HAVE AT IT BOYS!”

That is what NASCAR told the drivers before the start of the 2010 season.  That was their plan anyway.

Fast forward to Atlanta on Sunday when the driver of the Roush-Fenway #99 Scott’s Ford, Carl Edwards, got into the action.  After an on track accident, early in the race, that involved . . . → Read More: “Have At It Boys”??

Logano Wins NNS At California

In a post race altercation Logano’s father Tom Logano walked up to Biffle’s car on pit road and had a verbal altercation with the driver that included calling the Roush driver “number one,” via a hand gesture – if you get my drift.

As a result the elder Logano’s credentials have been pulled and NASCAR spokesman Ramsey . . . → Read More: Logano Wins NNS At California
