Doesn’t just suck. I used to watch it but now it’s unwatchable

Diamond P days long gone, Even Wide World of Sports had better coverage than this but then again Drag Racing had far more popularity than it does now. Today a family of 4 attending a national meet will fork over 360 bucks on average in admission alone unless the kids are under 12. Back in the day (1970s/early 80s) it cost 22 dollars for me to get in at Indy (as a spectator).

They should really hire younger individuals for covering their races, youtubers who film top fuel races is more exciting than this. I just don't understand how such exciting cars and races look so boring in this.

Because the recording was taken straight from the feed in the booth and not from outside in the crowd. But I thought the same thing at first. Then I realized.

I am sure that they would have applauded louder for you. 😂

Only reason he is in the car is wife wants to start family

@@johnhaas2523 That's nice of Tony to be accommodating to his wife and her boyfriend.

Just like Hawkeye turning into Ronin

There's lot's of new blood

I don’t know if Big Smoke is a good name for him 😂 I know he’s Smoke but not Big Smoke

She's young, she can always come back after being a mom.

​@@King4sshole89 i think thats her plan

Hold my bud Bernstein😊

Tony murderer Stewart!

Until he met Jeff Gordon, with the black SS and the navigation. Stats don't lie. Stewart had an ok career, but he's no Jeff Gordon.

@PeteyWheatstraw585 l Wasn't Talking About Stats I Meant Cause Of Aw The Different Race Cars He Done Raced Nothing Wrong Gordon He Had A Great Career

​@@PeteyWheatstraw585Gordon just started earlier. From Stewart's rookie season in 99 till he retired, he and Gordon had very similar stats and Stewart won 3 championships while Gordon won just one in that time span. And Stewart is the far superior driver overall. He's competed in many more different motorsport disciplines and has been successful in every single one. Tony is the greatest driver in motorsports history, Gordon is just a great stock car driver.

Salute! . You really have to work for it to be able to watch. They have some strange time slots and flip to sister stations with delays - it's taped anyway, wtf?

NHRA's coverage died when they move to FS1. Nothing but ads, weird disjointed coverage, terrible sound and Brian Lohnes just flapping his yap nonstop. Someone just uploaded a bunch of old races from the early 00's a couple weeks ago. Go check them out. The coverage was a million times better. I miss Mike Dunn.

NHRA is losing their fan base.

I agree! You have to pay an arm and and a leg just to get the channel but you only use it for a couple of days.

​@m0ondoggy Mike was the man, he'll tell it as it is,

So for the past 20 years, every single night, you have been dreaming about Tony running Top Fuel?

@bigelile07 not every single night but it's something I've been hoping for since I became a huge motorsports fan in 2001

@@69BigLou I was just messing with you. Tony has won a championship in every series that he ran full time except for Top Alcohol last year, and if not for the penalty for an illegal part he would have another one. He's gonna have a tough time this year, but let's see how he does.

That won't beat all his left turns.😊

Barney Flintstone or Fred Rubble? I like Fred Rubble.

It's the safest motor sport in the world, he be fine, guys a pros pro, 😊

​@@user-bl6ne3hc6nno its not

he didnt know that at the time

same

Slowpar

Temperature control....keeps the sun off.

They try to keep the sun off of them as much as possible. It makes the air pressure in the tire/liner increase.

@@mikebaker9574 oh ok thank you for telling me I've been wondering for a while

ikr hes so cool my dad is buddies with him

He ran open wheel before that too.

IndyCar and Sprint cars.

Qualifying, not eliminations. They weren't head to head, just laying down a time.

Just like every sport ever, there are always more qualified or talented people out there who just don’t get the chance. Money talks.

Oh well. He owns the team.

Lol he got shr to deal with what you mean?

He's in the Hall of Fame. Nascar is long behind him.

Exactly. That's what Dodge told them again.! SEE YA LATER NASCAR. 😂🖕

@@ianparrish6543 dodge only race in nhra buddy.

Drive around someone standing on a race track

Tony is a money man. Duh

Those people most likely just remember that a stoned idiot ran out on a track at night in a black suit with cars running around and got himself killed.

I call it auto incorrect.

I sure hope the other drivers don't get out of their cars on active racetrack!

no, there wasnt any stoned idiots out on the track this time running around. See how that is the safer way

@@warrenmichael918 😂😂 Tony is not gonna invite to the hauler. Stoned or not tony drove at and killed that guy.

@@acepilotson3331 yes, the kid was killed and Tony was driving the car that killed him, that doesnt mean he murdered him. It was an accident, an avoidable one at that. If Kevin Ward would have stayed in his car and not ran out into traffic, he wouldnt have been killed.

@@warrenmichael918 jumping out of your race car and expressing your anger like that under caution is a common occurrence at every track and during most events. Nobody dies because the drivers don’t steer towards the angry person and stomp on the gas and try to “roost” him. Tony himself is guilty of that behavior but…. Celebrity worship is crazy.

@@acepilotson3331 Thats how we know you are clueless about what actually happened. He wasnt trying to "roost" him. These cars dont turn like your pinto, you need to blip the throttle to get it to turn with the solid axle. He also didnt steer towards him , he turned away from him, thats why the idiot ate the rear tire and not the front bumper.

at least no stoned idiots were running around the track again with race cars

No. The guy had high levels of pot in his system. That someone went on the track. He killed himself.

no, he was involved with some stoned kid that ran onto the track where cars were driving and tried to tackle a wheel, he lost

Dude killed himself posing in the street liser

if they are not stoned and running around on the track with the cars, they should all be fine.
