At least with Prime we actually get a post-race show.

Shout out to Keselowski for getting a top 5 after how things looked early. And how things have looked all season.

FOX should be ashamed of themselves after one Amazon broadcast, if they weren't already from just the CW's xfinity coverage.
However, their NASCAR producer has supposedly left now to do MNF on ESPN, so maybe FOX can start turning things around next year.

He is a Mizzou fan. He is actually from Columbia MO. I believe he still live in Columbia, MO with his wife.

Decent race considering these cars are trash. It was great to see Flipper back in NASCAR. Kudos to the Amazon broadcast, it was well done. My only gripe is the scrolling scoring pylon needs to be at a slower cadence during the race.
These cars are just too damn brittle. You breathe on the damn thing and you destroy the suspension/driveline. Both Ryan and Kyle should have been able to continue on last night after a little work on pit road if this car wasn't such a brittle POS.

Ross drove one hell of a race. It looked like in the closing laps that he used up all of his stuff but he stayed patient and did everything right. Has to be a gut blow to Byron losing the lead after having the dominant car of the race

He definitely needed that result. Hope his luck will change after last night

Nothing reported on 600 but Indycar broke some huge records. I think people like me said heck with Nascar and watched Indy instead.
Perhaps the 500 moving to FOX, combined with the Coca-Cola 600 leaving FOX for Amazon Prime Video, played a role. With the 600 leaving broadcast television and the 500 essentially taking its place on FOX, perhaps some of the traditional NASCAR audience opted for IndyCar this year.

Everything is cyclical. Open Wheel Racing is cool again, and the Indy 500 is the pinnacle of motorsport. I think nascar is waning and F1/Indycar are clearly growing.
I think the cash grab with the disjointed TV network schedule is going to be a very short sighted move and you may see more casual fans switch to Indycar on FOX for their sunday afternoon racing fix because of the convenience/network continuity

Exactly. I am not watching Cup for first time in years and years. Will not watch til it comes back after Prime.
Just as important I’m watching Indycar and learning how much better racing it is.
I did watch XFinity Sat and man those cars are fun. They can slide around and make moves.
I read Chastain made a late race pass but read it was due to lap cars impeding leader. Cup is just blah these days and its a no brainer to skip.
Whatever ratings they get this was the marque Cup race so its downhill for Prime in the next 4. And Indycar ratings are out yet no Cup ratings so they are trying to cook the books. Had Prime ratings been big they are posted by now, they know what they are

Eh, the Prime broadcast blew FOX out of the water.
From a pure production standpoint, that was the best broadcast of a NASCAR race in close to a decade. From the pre and postrace, to the graphics, commecial-free for the last 60 laps, and the booth crew was oustanding. It's obvious the passion that Junior has for the sport and the chemistry between him and Letarte is palpable. Adam Alexander is a really good PBP man. Hopefully FOX was taking notes. The production had a lot of Junior's fingerprints on it.
And they interviewed Chastain in VL as opposed to the starr/finish line

Every one of these guys knows more about "competing" in the top NASCAR series than Elton fricking Sawyer.

The cup cars need 100 more horsepower across the board. They handle too well now. Stock cars were never meant to handle this well. With the increased power though, we need thorough safety checks. Certain wrecks in this car have caused more driver damage than they should have.

I've said for a while that Junior should be the competition director.
Saying that, IDK if he'd do it. He's in a good place now within the sport.

Of course, but some people would apparently rather watch full-screen commercials during green flag racing than open an app.
There are now over 100 million more households with Prime than basic cable in this country. NASCAR does a lot of questionable things, but doing this deal with Amazon wasn't one of them.
