I will be the first to admit every year TNT has the shittiest coverage of NASCAR. Always cheesy and crappy coverage. So far today I'm impressed. They've ditched the fire suits for the reporters. They're giving more access and coverage around the garage area and are going behind the scenes with the crew. I like where this is going

They haven't covered their first race yet. I will reserve judgement.

They still go to commercial every 5 laps and now they have a banner that covers the top quarter of the TV screen. They still suck.

They have to impress with the first race so they can suck you in for the barrage of commercials in the following races

Tnt missed a caution during the commercials.

7 commercials since the flag was thrown and still haven't gone back to the race.

Ok they have a lot of commercials but miss reporting too much of what is actually taking place.

Someone went down pit road a few minutes ago. You could see the car peeling off but no mention of it.

It took the entire caution for them to tell you that it was for debris that actually turned out to be a towel. They should have been able to tell where the towel came from.

Like others have said: frick this banner.

Don't like Kyle Petty, Larry Mac has a whiney voice, Adam Alexander is a douche and no hot chicks in the pits.

Remember at one point when NASCAR ratings were unstoppable and always going up? What happened?

Jimmie Johnson's never ending success and Jr shitting the bed for 5+ years turned alot of people away. And the COT racing was boring as hell. It was too much riding in a line and not enough passing.

Car of tomorrow
NASCAR not letting drivers police themselves or talk shite without fines.
Economy hurt people going to races and when you stop going to things you can start to lose interest sometimes.esp. NASCAR where going is so tucking fun
No true superstar. Jj is kind of bland and while not most popular doesn't do anything to be widely hated.
Boring tracks built around bigger cities to expand and left southern roots and better tracks
Even in the 90s fans had a connect with drivers. Earnhardt would jump out and work on his car if behind wall. A lot would. Now it's just 18 year olds being given rides and no one knows much about he,.

The 24 has been ineffective since 2007 IMO. He has gone downhill.
