Jeff Gordon probably looked at where he landed on this list and, in a very sad voice, said "look at this"

People at Allen Bestwick: *GOD.* People at Marty Reid: *Ew... nail coffin...*

I actually really like Jeff Gordon as an announcer. He’s very smart and offers a lot of insight. Bowyer will definitely help by adding some more big personality

Mike joy better have his own tier

"Brad Keselowski won this race" - Larry McReyolds....always remember that call when i think of Larry Mack.

Darlington's Junior-Jarrett-Petty booth was unmatched. They need to do this for all of NBC's season.

Mike Joy is the Richard Petty of the announcers

Ok hear me out. 2016 homestead finish. Ngl Rick Allen nailed that.

I can hear Mike Joy yelling “Crash” in my sleep 😴

I thought we were friends eric😔

Mike Joy has set the bar for others to reach for and brought a lot of other talent up with him.

Eric: Jeff Gordon is a D *This just in: internet funnyman What in Carnation has broken into what appears to be Bob Ross’s house and burned all of his Matt Kenseth merchandise.*

Eric: Jeff Gordon is a D Jeff Gordon: Fights Eric Dale: SLIDE JAWB! SLIDE JAWB!

"I just hope Dale's ok. I guess he's alright, isn't he" That kills me every time I hear it. That 2001 Daytona finish is the iconic Waltrip moment.

“I just put the word Groovy in front of everything” It works when everything is groovy.

When Mike joy worked pit road for CBS it was obvious he was going to go upstairs at CBS when Ken Squire stepped out of the booth. He's beyond great.

Rick Allen: “around goes...”

Peak Nascar was early to mid 00's with Allen Bestwick, Wally Dallenbach, and Ben Parsons with Bill Webber prerace

NBC really needs to bring back Allen Bestwick in my opinion. Allen I feel was in the same category as Mike Joy and could really put NBC back in some really good standing.

The 2001-2015 Fox trio right at the top, I love it!

Steve Byrnes is straight up the best all time, sad he wasn't on this list. Allen Bestwick needs to come back as well.

That hammering you hear is the sound of the nail in the final coffin on the chase contenders hopes of upsetting Jimmie Johnson

5:30 But when you hear the loud commentators your reactions get loud and you enjoy the race better

Man NASCAR is doing a great job advertising for the Daytona 500 in the NFL playoffs

"Not mes-mix up his words inco-consistently" I'm dying

“Giant ass spoilers” I think he said ass twice in that race..

Buddy Baker, BP and Ned Jarrett were some of my favorites.

Love love love this type of content. Hope there is more to come! Keep up the great work Eric!

Jeff Burton over Jeff Gordon? Are we watching different broadcasts???

You should do a nascar commercial tier list

Ooh! A vintage version of this would be awesome! BP, Bob Jenkins, Alan Bestwick, Jarrett, and co would be a fun discussion. My favorite was absolutely Benny Parsons. What a gentleman and great personality

I never knew i needed to see this

Say what you want about Rick Allen, but I personally love the way he called 2016 Homestead when Jimmie won his 7th championship. I still get chills when I watch that final lap

Putting Jeff Burton ahead of Gordon is a sin

CONGRADULATIONS on your graduating Eric!! That is SO awesome! I'd just like to say that I think your future is going to be Great. I can totally see you becoming a great Nascar announcer/broadcaster/anylist/reporter/writer and possibly even a future sports talk show host/producer/director. I feel that you have everything it takes and then some!! Keep up the awesome work on the channel & keep reaching for the stars.... you'll get there. Thanks for everything buddy. ;~)

NBC needs to bring back Bestwick!

You should do a top 10 broadcasters of all time! 100% agree with your list!

Kyle Petty: *Sees he's not on the list* "That's incredible"

Congratulations Eric on graduating collage that awesome

Please make this a series

I agree with your list for the most part but I’d put Jeff Gordon in the “B” category

Jeff Gordon should be the groovy tier champion

congrats on graduating college! im only a semester away

Jeff Gordon...ranked in the same tier as Rick Allen and Vince Welsh and ranked below Jeff Burton...your list is invalid. Sorry not sorry.

I’m glad you’re doing this I’m guessing u saw that meme of the guy putting races in tier

Please more. Also, this proves that Fox is the better network

i think this will be a good series. cant wait for the next one!

I'm so glad that you did the TV broadcasters, and not the radio people. I listen to the races on radio, because I am blind, so I can't see to watch them on TV. I do like going back, when NASCAR uploads the races to KZfaq, and listening to the TV coverage though.

Jeff Gordon D tier? He's the best part of the booth! He's at least on par with Dale Jr. now.

I know this is just a list of modern announcers but Ken Squierwould definitely be a G tier.

Good insights and good rankings. 'Course I was a big fan of Benny Parsons in the booth too.

Groovy: Bob Jenkins, Benny Parsons, Ned Jarrett Not As Groovy: Everyone else.

I know it is early, but I am loving the chemistry in the Fox booth with Clint Bowyer joining! He has helped Jeff loosen up a bit and brought back some of the energy we lost when DW bowed out.

I miss nascar This was a good vid

Jr. needs to lower his voice. It gets to shrill when he gets excited

Can we just give a hand to Eric for finishing College all while entertaining us with his NASCAR Parody’s and Out of The Groove. Thank you Eric keep up the good work 👏🏻

My favorite thing about Dale Jr. in the booth is that he treats every single race like it's a moment in NASCAR history. He brings so much positivity and excitement to even boring mile-and-a-half races.

Eric you should do a “Groovy Grid” after every season with all the drivers, even though you’ve already done a similar idea such as letter grading each driver’s season.

I love this channel, and maybe it’s because I’m such a big Gordon fan he should have been higher then a D

I LOVED this episode! I don't know how many weekends I've spend yelling "shut up Rick" at my TV. NBC does have too many talking heads and I've often gave that as my feedback when filling out my NASCAR fan survey. Totally agree Mike Joy is fabulous! I wish Dale Jarrett was used more in the booth because I think he is a good commentator. Thank you for your videos.

Everybody always talks about the Slide Job for Hr, but personally I think his comment with Chase Elliott’s first win was the best. “Chase Elliott son of a legend trying to make a name for himself”

Congrats on graduating Eric !

You nailed it! 🏁

Great video now do all the radio announcers from MRN & PRN

My top tier favorite Nascar announcer trio I grew up listening to on ESPN in the late 80s and all of the 90s was Bob Jenkins, Ned Jarrett, and the late Benny Parsons. The guy who made this video was probably a small child back then but those 3 were the voices I enjoyed the most on Nascar broadcasts. And since 2001 I have not found a broadcast team that feels the same for me.

I’d be interested to see where eric would put some iconic past announcers like Dale Jarrett, Andy Petree, The last TNT crew, Ned Jarrett, and ofc the legends, Ken Squier, Benny Parsons, Bob Jenkins and Allen Bestwick (who nbc really needs to hire 😭)

I'd love to see your opinion on all time TV announcers. Ken Squire, Chris Economaki, etc

I agree with so much you mentioned in this one, especially, Mike Joy and Jeff Gordon. I have long thought that Mike Joy is the perfect play-by-play for NASCAR. By the same token, I have reservations about how good Jeff will become. Very well done Eric.

I do love Jr in the booth he is funny and generally exited

This is going to be a very interesting Out Of The Groove episode

When Ken Squire brought Neil Bonnett to the booth, Bonnetts down home manner, and his knowledge of everything that was happening in the sport made him a fan favorite. I remember he did the first night race at Richmond after it was re configured, with Ken Squire and former football QB Ken Stabler. It was the only race Stabler did.

Spot on! On everyone of these.

Awesome video

Thanks for the all great comments and stay safe and I love your car

I got goosebumps when you were talking about Mike Joy

Loved this! However in my undisputed Shannon sharpe voice "those guys are good but them motor racing network guys? got a guy, Mike bagley, you gotta come see him for the crown of broadcasting"

I used to love Bill Connell when he worked for PRN. He made it sound great if you were driving down the interstate on Sunday listening to the world 600 or the national 500. He was in Stroker Ace. We lost a good one when he passed away.

Best tier: Allen Bestwick, Buddy Baker, Larry Mac Really good: Mike Joy, DW, DJ, Kyle Petty, Dale Jr, Jeff Burton, Ken Squire Solid: Michael Waltrip, Adam Alexander, Jeff Gordon, Harvick, Bowyer, Parsons, Rick Allen, Letarte, Ned Jarrett, Awful: Vince Welch

Congrats on your graduation

I'd like to see a Historic NASCAR TV Announcers Tier List.

another stumble that i have heard Rick Allen say was in the fall Talladega race of 2019 when brendan gaughan had his flip he said the 42 collects the 17 as well even though Larson had gotten wrecked out earlier in the race when he should have said the 62 collects the 17 as well

Well done!

D.W. needs to be in G!!

Congrats on graduating!

grovey grid a legend was born

Do you have a prediction of where bowyer will be. Based off some of his xfinity appearances?

Actually Rick Allen made one of the most memorable calls in Nascar History "make room Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt, there is another 7x Champ, Jimmie Johnson wins his seventh Nascar Sprint Cup Series championship" or something like that lol

@Eric This was turned for an assignment/project wasn't it?

Now that this video came out, literally a day later Jeff Gordon uploads a new FOX teaser with Clint Bowyer and it had me rolling 😂😂

I think people are to harsh with Rick Allen, I like his overall voice and presence, he is actually me favorite member of the NBC Sports booth

Can't blame Burton for a fist bump. Ned was cheering on Dale in the 1993 500 in an iconic call as well as Darrell cheered on Michael in 01.

Keep it up and you may find yourself on national TV one day.

Eric Estepp should join NASCAR on NBC

That was pretty groovy!

I'd love to see an all time announcers list, if that's possible. Even if it's broken down to the three national series each having their own list.

I look at this years Phoenix race with NBC. Rick Allen didn't seem excited that Chase had won his first ever championship. Plus he seems to be more excited when certain drivers win than others.

I like the energetic guys like the entire 2014 espn booth (especially Allen Bestwick), dale jr, and larry mac

YES YES YES A TIER LIST

I know he hasn't done that many NASCAR races , but where would you put Leigh Diffey?

My initial thought was, 'Ok, here's some dorky dude that, by his own admission, JUST graduated college so he must know EVERYTHING'. But I hung in there and listened. Kudos for being realistic and truly honest. My cursor was tenuously hovering above the big red 'X', as you got to Rick Allen. He's the reason I stopped watching the NBC broadcast. I mostly listen on Sirius to those races. If you gave him anything other than his hardly earned 'D', you'd have been gone. As a 45+ year NASCAR fan, I mostly agree with your assessments. I just hit 'Subscribe'. Good work son.
