Idiots are running the NASCAR coverage

[LVSteve]

Fox keep showing side by side shots with a background of yellow/orange tracers over blue. I find the moving things on the background part of the screen incredibly distracting.

Do they not realize how the human eye is drawn to movement? Is it just me?

They don't want you to watch the race just the commercials.

Why they moved the leader board from the top of the screen to the side remains a mystery to everyone I've asked. It's not only harder to read but covers up part of the race!

Even when they do the so called side by side, it's amazing how much of the screen is not used, just filled with colored background.

The stands are near empty not many people going to the races. Like all sports they are pricing the seats, food, and drinks so families and the average worker can't go. So block out the stands not to show the seats are bare.

Liked the scrolling positions that use to be at the top of the screen People always change whats not broken.

The infield was sold out two months ago and the stands were almost completely packed for the race today at Talladega (spelling).

 

[Legravin]

I was quite surprised at how full the stands at Talladega were today. They let the blimp broadcast pictures that showed how full the grandstands were. For most races, they try very hard not to show the grandstands.

With the new aero package and the new restrictor plates, there was way too much single file "racing." Nobody wanted to try to pass because the cars were so hard to handle and had too little power.

As much fun as watching the NFL on TV.

TV wrecks most things.

I've always found NASCAR on TV A lot like watching golf. But being there in person at a race is much more exciting, just too expensive. Haven't even been to the new track here in Ky yet. Not that I want anyone hurt in a wreck, far from it, bht tge restrictor plates ruined it for me.
