In this video, I delve into why NASCAR on FOX is considered by many to be the worst broadcasting experience for fans. From missed crucial moments to lackluster commentary, the reasons why this relationship between on track action and what's shown on TV falls short are explored in detail. Join us as we break down why NASCAR on FOX is terrible. The NASCAR race at Talladega was a new rock bottom for FOX's coverage.
Are you tired of watching NASCAR on FOX? You're not alone. Many fans feel the same way. From the constant commercial breaks to the lackluster commentary, it's hard to enjoy the race. And don't even get me started on the over-the-top graphics and sound effects. It's like a bad video game come to life. But perhaps the most frustrating part is the sometimes biased coverage and the ridiculous sponsored segments at incredibly weird points in the race.
Thanks for watching the video! Don't forget to subscribe to the channel for more NASCAR news, stories, history, and opinions.
I quit watching after they started the "stage racing" - Time-out racing, potty-break racing - That is not racing. Never again will there be a caution-free race, and anyone that's witnessed one knows that is real racing. I've been watching since the 70s and that was the final straw for me.
There's just too many ads. It doesn't matter if it's Fox or NBC. I don't care how much Wendy's paid, showing that long of a commercial during the last 20 laps was absurd. Ad revenue is first, racing is second with NASCAR and the networks covering the races. They act like they can't figure out why NASCAR is in such a sad state, but fans like myself have been screaming the same thing since 2005. TOO MANY ADS!
I'm so glad to see you do a video about how bad the coverage on Fox is. It's atrocious. We miss a lot of the race for different reasons. Sometimes they're showing some kind of interview during the race. And when they come back from commercial they'll show some graphics or something else even when the race is going on.
Remember that F1 races are run commercial free from green to checkered.
Mike Joy says "business is picking up" with 8 to go in stage 2. They don't come back until 4 to go. Then they spend a whole lap naming sponsors and showing a flag in the Infield. THEN, they spend yet ANOTHER lap showing the "PODS move of the race," which they could've EASILY done during the stage break under caution. So in essence, they only showed the last 2 laps of stage 2; TWO LAPS! That is unacceptable!
I watched the race a few days later for free on TH-cam with no ads.
I’m done with them, I want Fox out of here. Either give the first half to CBS, ESPN or just give NBC the full season. I’m sick of the commercials and incompetent camera work from Fox. They need to go!
I miss the days CBS covered nascar. Come to think of it, I miss the races from back then
I have quit watching NASCAR live. I record it and then can fast forward through the millions of commercials or breaks or incessant chatter. It's amazing how fast you can watch a race that way.
I don’t watch nascar anymore, I can see all the tv coverage in 10 min of highlights…no commercials
You know something?, i actually miss ESPN and TNT coverage.
Back in the ‘90’s and early ‘00’s, when NASCAR was watchable, we would always have the race on the tv in the garage with the volume turned all the way down and listen to the MRN broadcast on the radio. It was always better than listening to the commentators on tv.
The cameras are to zoomed in. Everyone has a 55 inch tv now. They can back up the cameras.
Even the commercials during Xfinity were ridiculous. Once I saw a Side-by-side-by-side making the race view so small it was like watching it on my phone so they could play two commercials at once.
I'm kinda old school. My favorite
I said this on radmans channel, but what happened to the days of cutting back to the broadcast during a wreck?
I will NOT watch a live race on FOX or NBC because of the absolutely ridiculous number of commercial breaks . I dvr every race and either watch it the next day or start watching after about it’s been recording for an hour, just to skip all the stupid commercials. I won’t even watch the side by side breaks. These races are too damn long to begin with, so skipping the commercials makes it possible for me to watch in one sitting.
I used to watch nascar from the 70s till I got dish and could watch all the races, and as an ex-racer I started to see the favoritism to certain teams back in the late 90s, I quit watching because of the favoritism by nascar so I now just watch the highlights, and in the highlights, they said now the crew chief can now see what is going on to the car on a computer, it takes and makes things worse for me, the driver is supposed to know what shape the car is in, so after hearing that why have nascar just let them run races on a computer, racing is the fastest car and best handling car should win, in my opinion when you take the manual setup out of the driver, and crew chiefs hands it kills the sport, I raced with Tony rains back in the day and seen him give up in a race because the toe was out by I think it was like a 32nd of an inch and that was on a quarter mile track, if the cars have gotten that sensitive than do away with the sport, things happen during a race, you either push yourself to get through it or park the car, I liked the old style racing way better than it is now.
I'm older, so I remember when NASCAR races were shown on TNN. They had so many fewer cameras and a much lower production cost, but the commentators were great and there were fewer commercials. Fox and NBC have put too many gimmicks in their broadcasts and have to run commercials to pay for it all. I'm not saying we have to go back to the TNN days, but having a simpler broadcast that focused on the actual racing and less on the drones, the 'human interest' segments and having a zillion in-car cameras would be great.
i actually think the director HAS been the center point in this conversation. door bumper clear had him on last year (just check it out, dale, jr.'s youtube channel has clips i think) and he came off as completely closed-minded & even disrespectful imo, especially brushing off the criticism as, "hate", not knowing that his outdated style of storytelling a live sports event is intrusive to the experience & is the reason there is actual hate here.
