If you could fix one thing about the Fox Broadcast, what would it be?

I'd actually pay money to see a broadcast with Kyle Petty, Jimmy Spencer, and Kenny Wallace announcing uncensored.

Kevin was never afraid to call out his pit crew for subpar pit stops. I doubt he’ll have any hesitation to do the same with the production crew.

Making the race the most important part of the broadcast should be the first step in fixing the problem. Too bad NASCAR is more concerned with everything else surrounding the sport.

The problems go much further than just who is in the booth. Fox's focus on comedy extends to the entire direction of the broadcast. The races end up looking juvenile, and the presentation is terrible, lacking important details they used to provide in their glory years. Where are all the animations they used to show viewers during key moments of the race? They also miss many important moments throughout the race, often force feeding viewers the top 10, while ignoring what is happening throughout the rest of the field. The "personalities" in the booth and trackside are horrible. Michael Waltrip's gridwalks are awkward, and seem to annoy drivers, and Bowyer is equally annoying in the booth. People want Nascar coverage to be more serious and professional in tone, and that needs to happen from the top on down.

They need to keep Mike Joy around for now. He's really the best they have (outside of Reynolds, my fav presenter) until they have a suitable replacement. Honestly Adam Alexander is a decent replacement as long as they have someone to replace him in the lower series. They need to let Bowyer go. I don't hate him, he brings a little bit of energy, but if I have to hear "hot rod" or any variation of it one more time I'm going to rip my hair out and his analysis is always half-wrong or borderline childish. Lastly, the revolving door of announcers does get annoying, but I appreciate the Xfinity races when they bring in some of the cup guys to help commentate.

Fox is just trash at this point. They can’t even do Crank It Up right. They seem to think the best time for that is when everyone’s running seconds apart.

my gripe is with Waltrip doing his silly not needed grid walk...

FOX need to get their act together before the next TV deal, the current Fox booth is such a clown show, GET CLINT BOWYER OUT!! Especially after that awful Daytona 500 moment "Larson tries to go to the middle......oh he got turned," Clint sounded like a golf announcer. No disrespect to Mike Joy, but he's way past his prime.

Ned Jarrett Benny Parsons and Bob Jenkins will forever be the best. They never played favorites and called it like they saw it and had such chemistry together. We are just lucky now to see the races. I bought a big satelite dish so my dad and myself could watch the races on Sunday together back before cable was ran all over our small town. Mike Joy is full of knowledge and brings a lot to the race. I'd like to see Dale Jarrett and Brad Daugherty in the booth. Kyle's [ let me say this ] 40 times a race is annoying but otherwise does a good job. Nbc just seem's like a 4 hr Hendrick commercial with jr and Burton's sudden girl screech's Slide Job and Latartes rambling on about Jeff Gordon and his time at Hendrick. Again though be thankful for the coverage. I still remember abc's wide world of sports that turned the daytona 500 into 15 minutes along with arm wrestling and women's swimming competition and tennis highlight's.

Add a crew chief analyst in the booth. Two former drivers is one too many.

The fact they never had Mike Joy, Darrell Waltrip and Larry Mac for NASCAR'S 75th annivarsary is a travisty.

Larry Mac and Jamie Mac needs to be in the booth. If fox would do the NBC style booth, having Mike Joy and Larry Mac in one booth, and Jamie Mac and Kevin Harvick in another would be S tier. Harvick has play by play experience and could fill the Hybrid analyst role that Jr has, but in his own way, which would be amazing. I feel like this booth would surpass nbc’s. Clint can do pre race or the grid walk in place of Mikey

My age shows here, but I remember NASCAR on TNN. It wasn’t fancy, but it was straightforward calling of races by people who knew their stuff, not hand-picked yokels trying to be funny. They also didn’t show six minutes of commercials for every three or four minutes of racing either. The broadcasts on every network have become too gimmicky and too high dollar, and just aren’t enjoyable. People like Chris Economacki and Buddy Baker called races for the love of the sport, and they didn’t need endless gimmicks to do so. It’s possible that cutting back to broadcast basics might make for better viewing.

The best broadcasting I've seen or heard in years was when Carl Edwards sat in the booth for a stage during the Hall of Fame weekend. But it's obvious that he has a life away from NASCAR.

Also at the all star race this year you can hear Clint throw his pen when the camera shot cuts away from a battle he was talking about

Adam Alexander is actually good in my opinion.

Let’s hope Harvick can bring some energy to the booth next year! I’m sure he and Clint will have some good chemistry!

While not FOX, Jeff Burton is a joke!

Maybe I’m a casual but I enjoy Mike and Clint as commentators. I think it really comes down to the direction from FOX, not the personalities themselves.

Have NBC To Cover The Entire NASCAR Season, Rather Than FOX.

My biggest problem with Fox is that lack of race flow explanation. Clint is asking Larry questions every stint. Steve does a good job for NBC. Put a fucking crew chief in the booth!

You forgot bowyers “ man that’s a fast hot rod” Or “it’s go time” five laps into the start of the race

Listen to Clint Bowyer during a Saturday qualifying session. He is very analytical & serious & adds knowledge. Then on Sunday, FOX wants him to be a clown.

I don't think a "funny man" is necessary. I'd much rather get legit race info and strategy than stupidity.

Miss the days of Joy, Waltrip, and Larry Mac...I learned a lot about the sport from them....having gone to my first race in 2000 and following every weekend since. 🙂

These two things are pretty much mentioned everywhere but they need to be brought up again The lack of replays of crashes I remember recently watching the Steven Wallace Michael Annette ir crash and ESPN apologizing for not having a good replay of the wreck but also mentioned it was the first one they'd missed all year it's not uncommon now for fox to not have replays or bad angles of multiple wrecks per race like somehow missing Harrison burtons and Blaine Perkins flips live and during covid I remember a crash they didn't even show a replay of till the next day and during 2021the xfinity darlington race the last lap crash they only showed one bad angle of the crash until the next year where they showed a different angle of it during the pre race And of course the constant commercials during Vegas this year by my count they were averaging a commercial break every 7 laps that would last about 3 or 4 laps there have been times during NBCs portion of the season where I've found myself preparing/expecting commercials breaks after 10 laps or so because they show certain cameras angles that they also show before commercial and then they don't go to commercial till about 10 laps later Fox is dang near unwatchable most of the time and really started in 2018 and they've been on a downward spiral ever since Ps Allen Bestwick is overrated and I'd rather have adam Alexander replace mike joy

I thought Clint Bowyer would have done a great job but he has proven that broadcasting is not his thing. Darrell did broadcast some events before FOX and so did Larry. Harvick is going to be good because he broadcasted some races. Clint never really had that experience before, and they want him to replace Darrell. I don't know why they want to do a rotating booth because it's unwelcome that they have different people in there. McMurray is one of the best of the bunch, Danica is too full of herself. They just lack consistency, and I don't like the superhero renderings and stuff either. I liked it when they had the driver photos and the computer animated cars they drove on the starting lineups, it was futuristic. I wish they would bring all that back. I liked FOX before they started all the stupid comedy routines, something happens and then the run with it and jam it down our throats.

Just get announcers that don’t sound like screaming little girls.

Do the screaming gerbils in the NBC booth next. Do they ever take a breath?

Unrelated but holy crap it's awesome to know I'm not the only Xenoblade fan that also watches NASCAR Great video 🙏🏻

FOX just doesn't care. In the next media rights deal (not the 2025 deal, but the one after that), just don't bring FOX back. Honestly, I'd rather the entire season be on a streaming service (whichever one that may be) than on FOX, at this point.

The dawg in him quote aged so well

So sick and tired of hearing Boyer talk about himself, how he called this or that and the ungodly amount of times he starts a sentence with the word "I"

I think Fox does a much better job than Jr and Rick Allen.

its the Denny Hamlin show, even if hes nowhere near the lead

I will say... Clint is better than what fox shows. Take a listen back to the Kentucky race this year with Kurt. Clint and Kurt calling the battle late between the 5 and 11 was perfect. Clint wasn't talking like fox announcer Clint but actually racing Clint. It was just right. Fox really needs to just let there talents be themselves

I would enjoy you doing a video on their truck coverage going downhill. As someone who didn't have cable growing up, but now does I'm curious how things have changed.

Remember when F1 was on Speed and they'd show some of the bigger races on Fox? Varsha/Hobbs/Matchet(?) were good on Speed but it seemed like they always dumbed it down for the Fox audience. Like the people in charge didn't think we'd understand. Maybe the same people are still in charge.

Now you should do a video on why fans love NBC’s NASCAR coverage nowadays

Honestly I used to be one of the people who complained about DW but it ALL CHANGED when they broke up that trio. I would love to see them just go back to Joy, DW and Larry Mac! Sometimes we don't know we liked something until its gone.

I would like to see want is going on around the track instead of only the front 4. You only see the rest if there is a wreck.

I really don't see a difference in the two networks. They're both inundated with advertisements and ill-timed commercial breaks which is the major reason why people complain imo. Just stop full cutaways during green flag racing or pit stops and the coverage by both will be greatly improved.

Well between SRX for ESPN, UCONN WBB for SNY and I think he still does PBR for CBS, good luck getting Bestwick.

Allen Bestwick at FOX would be a disaster. He doesn't fit the FOX production unless it changes drastically He's better served as Rick Allen's replacement for NBC

I did notice harvick stick it to bowyer during the clash clint says aero wont play a factor here. Then kevin snapped back yes but it has to somewhat someway somewhere meanwhile clint was crickets. So maybe there is hope for harvick after all considering that clip in this video of him calling out the camera crew

Do we really need the Car position taking up half the TV picture?

Nascar on Fox died when Steve byrnes died.

I overall do not like Rick Allen in the booth. Dale Jr and Mike Joy are fine in my opinion. And for the love of GOD I can't stand the "ONE LAP TO GO BROUGHT TO YOU BY CREDIT ONE BANK!". . . Dude I could careless about that. It's one to go and a huge finish is coming up and then the hype gets thrown off by this random sponsorship call as the white flag is waved. It can ruin the moment for those watching. NOBODY CARES. Just call the race! They have so many banners and ads plastered all over the place it is honestly cluttering and overbearing to look at. Their ads are better than their camera work now. I can't tell you how many times we have missed crucial wrecks or awesome passes due to bad camera work. Or missed a call because they are too busy shoving sponsorships down our throats. When I see the white flag? All I and most likely many others wanna hear is "WHITE FLAG! ONE TO GO!" followed by an exciting call to the finish. The viewers don't want to hear ads. They want to hear the race. And I wanna see good camera work on the race. Not some enlarged ad taking up half the screen to where my eyes are more focused on advertisement more than the race. They need to go back to their roots. Bring back what we all loved from the early 2000's era. The golden age. RIP Nascar on FOX.

ANYTHING to get Jimmy Spencer back!

FOX is certainly not what they use to be, but still better then the horrible NBC booth.

Love Jamie Little but she shouldn’t be the one on Trucks and Arca for hype!

Fox coverage of NASCAR is way above and beyond nbc’s coverage.

While I agree with this assessment of Fox I’m not all that enthused with NBC either. Jeff Burton is so annoying and excited about someone going to the concession stand. Too many announcers and too much discussion and not actually calling the action. So disappointing I often watch on mute.

Mike Joy is washed up, and I mean no disrespect by saying that

Last night i was thinking about the time Fox showed a camera shot of a right rear control arm on a car during the race and DW tried to convince everyone it was an old Chevy truck control arm 😂

Fox tries to hide all of their flaws under pretty graphics and gimmicks whilst NBC is actually competent and doesnt need them. Give NBC the scoring pylon that Fox uses and Fox would be redundant. Oh and Mike Joy.

Of course this video jinxs NBC into missing the burnout to a PODS moving commercial

I cannot wait for NBC to take over at Iowa

FOX has two main problems: First...Directors who choose shots unrelated to what is being said by the booth talent. Second ... NBC's booth talent. The most popular personality in NASCAR today and two of his real life good friends. LaTarte, Burton and Junior have been friends for years. You can't fake or hope to create that chemistry. They aren't just the best NASCAR broadcast team, they are among the best doing motorsports anywhere........It's pretty tough for FOX to look anything but a little shabby when competing against the best. ...but get a new director guys.

The car is wayyyy Rigid -Clint

Get rid of Bowyer and the cartoon characters. Put Larry Mac back in the booth

the younger audience is a lot more tuned-in to niche internet celebrities, so why not have one of those on the broadcast? i personally think one of the big NASCAR KZfaqrs should get a shot as the lead announcer for the Trucks. i would pick Eric Estepp for the job, provided the booth can accommodate his tallness. Eric is very well informed on his stats and could be a good new look for FOX moving forward. plus, he seems to be pretty levelheaded and unbiased in most cases, which is something you really need in a professional environment like a TV broadcast

NBC is unwatchable Rick Allen just repeats what was said by the analysts at the top of his lungs and is continually making bad calls and assumptions., they should hire Allan Beswick, let Rick screw up some other sports broadcasts.

People like the,”parrot “ Rick Allen? If he had an original thought in commenting on a race…it would die of loneliness.

i feel like we as a fanbase just complain about everything tbh, like NBC while better, isn’t by a whole lot, the biggest complaint i hear is the ads fox runs and how many there are but man as of late NBC seems to have a ton of them too

Can’t stand Clint, he was a terrible driver as well

Clint bowyer calling the drivers boys, kids, and whatever other belittling term delegitimizes their efforts and abilities.

Get rid of the “funny men” , they aren’t funny….. they are just goofy fools. What makes a network think people tune in to watch a comedy show.

NASCAR is a dead stick! It has gotten waaayyy too corporate and has lost almost everything that made it popular back in the day. Back when NASCAR was dominating the viewership sports, you had larger than life drivers and the cars were every bit as big a star as were the drivers. You had the #3 GM GoodWrench Chevrolet, the #28 Texaco Havoline Ford, the #6 Valvoline Ford, the #24 DuPont Chevrolet, the #2 Miller Genuine Draft Pontiac/Ford, the #43 STP Pontiac. The sponsors were iconic, the car numbers were iconic and both were tied to the iconic driver for years, sometimes even a career. Now, you have the ridiculous looking cars that they are trying to make as technical as F1 cars, something Nascar was never intended to be, with a single lug nut, idiotic placement of the door number and the fact that sponsors change almost every single week . I won’t even go into the asinine points system. A points system that can reward a driver that is wildly inconsistent that either wins or wrecks/blows up every week. Win one and you are in, get on a lucky hot streak, hello title. All the original points system needed was to give a 15 point bonus for winning, and bump the points for second and third up by 10 points. That would have stopped the sandbagging strategy of the 90’s and would have forced drivers in the top 5 or 10 to race hard because the point for 1st, 2nd and third would have been so valuable you wouldn’t be able to afford to sandbag. This garbage they have now is cartoonish. Now for the drivers themselves. This polished corporate crap is so freaking boring! The Allison’s the Earnhardts the Labonte’s carried a swagger that was earned and the fans loved them for it. These drivers now days, you can just tell that they’ve never had to work on a car even once because, daddy paid people to work on them. Not blaming them for it but, it takes away something from who they are and the fans can smell it a mile away.

The tv direction is so bad on FOX. The main guy retired 3-4 years ago and it’s suffered ever since. The truck commentating is so terrible I have a hard time watching…

I still find Fox's coverage to be more than fine, and not that distinctively different than NBC. Mike Joy is still one of the best in my eyes. NBC has zero comedy. The only thing that's changed is having DEJ, a fan favorite. Beyond that, Jeff Burton is fine, but nothing separates these that much. Overblown topic, I think.

And if Chase Elliott finishes 28th, he’s gonna be interviewed!! #Fact-Most Popular!!!

Rick Allen on the NBC broadcasts makes mistakes quite often, mixing up driver names and such. Wish they would get rid of him. As for Adam Alexander (Mister Hands In His Pocket while rocking back and forth), he acts stupid on Race Hub. I think he fancies himself as a comedian.

Larry was wonderful with DW because they both were in the sport before they came to Fox Larry, the crew chief from multiple drivers, including including Dale Earnhardt Senior, and DW driving for many years for different owners through the sports history

And this is probably the reason why using Motor Racing Network or professional Racing Network. I might as well be done and over with.

We don’t like Clint . He almost killed MTJ’s career 😭

Jonathon Taylor here. I like it NASCAR start the nascar season on Fox im not a fan of NBC. My favorite commentarys are Mike Joy, Darrell Waltrip and Larry McReynolds.

Dude, kevin has said some of the most brutal shit in the booth. I love it

Crazy how every commentary video uses Persona 5 bgm

Fox’s broadcast director seems to fall asleep at the wheel every race and think that’s probably one of the biggest issues with the cameras anyway. The cameras usually have replays of the action but the live broadcast is what misses most of the action. For the 1st time ever in my life I agree with Harvick “this is ridiculous”

Timely video since fox hasn’t been broadcasting since the summer. Fox was always a joke by the way. Fox makes it a clown show. Darryl has always sucked. They always have

To many BIG MOUTH drivers and way to much Blither Blather!!! Nobody did it better than CBS. They were the absolute best and the Gold Standard ad far as I'm concerned.

I stopped listening to the race Broadcasters when ABC, ESPN and TNN lost the TV contracts. I've been listening to MRN/PRN ever since.

We're having to put up with Danica in F1 now, so thanks for that 🙄🤦

The booth and camera shots and when they are shown can be really bad sometimes but the cartoons have to go. It makes a professional sports broadcast look so amateur. Someone must have thought it was cool but most fans don't think so.

They just dont take it seriously anymore.

Fox doesn’t talk about the damn race. It’s that simple.

I don't have any problem with Fox's broadcast. Hell , Dale Jr sounds like a ole country boy winging it but I love it over on NBC but I Love it!

I was kinda upset that fox renued there deal with Nascar. I would have rather have had CBS get nascar back as right now anything is better than fox. Plus cbs seems to do better at presenting a game or event compared to fox when it comes to the NFL, college football & basketball along with their Champions League coverage

Mike Joy was at his best when doing the NASCAR broadcasts on the old TNN, especially when paired with Buddy Baker. The whole FOX deal is punch it up. It's like they're trying to make a big clown show from start to finish. Michael Waltrip is the biggest clown in the broadcast. I'm not saying they can't have a little fun, but nothing is worse than people that think they're funny when they're just plain silly.

it feels like over the last few years fox doesn't care for nascar anymore even though they say they need them they don't show it when they have covrage kinda like espn did near the end and after they lost they're contract deal

I miss watching the practice sessions and happy hour. I love the technical side of racing and that’s when they’d let Larry Max get deep in to chassis set ups. I’d geek out. I got to the point where practice and HH were the must-see but if I missed the race, it wasn’t that big of deal because I got my racing fix. The race broadcast was then always presented like the only ones watching were 8yo’s and the wives of occasional race fans. Cartoonish, stupid gimmicks, silly sayings, and dumbed down explanations e.g. explaining what downforce is for 9953rd time. Oh and hyper focusing on pit stops and green flag runs are for commercial breaks. Lazy. Lazy way to broadcast. Even “boring” races when there isn’t much action on the track can be made more interesting if they elaborated about the crew chiefs calling the race and their strategies. It’s chess on an oval. FWIW Fox’s NFL coverage is very similar.

I think Mike Joys flubs and problems stem from having to carry so much of the broadcast because Bowyer and the Guest Analyst stink so much. Personally, I still prefer Fox over NBC, even though Fox has had problems

I like FOX's coverage.

Comes down to ad revenue. FOX is a business. Ratings have declined (everyone has opinions as to why), so ad slots aren't worth as much. If there's less ad money, there's less funding to do really expensive things like taking pre-race shows to the track.

Both networks, do away the the damn ties and sport coats! This isn't the westminster dog show. Only person that makes road course's enjoyable when he announces is Mike Bagley. Wish he could do more tv. He's my favorite

The TV coverage of Nascar has been lacking for years. The announcers are stale as an old bag of Ruffles Potato Chips. The problem with all coverage of auto racing is the people in charge of the productions do not know the first thing about covering a race. They all have been going with the same boring format for years. Too many onboard camera shots. Can't hardly hear the engines, which for me is a big part of the excitement. They do not cover the crashes or the aftermath of a crash correctly. People in the stands see all of it, so why can't the TV viewer? Why have the best audio equipment around if it's going to be a waste of time trying to set up the audio to hear the beautiful sound of a race car engine. The commentators, you can hear them all too well. In fact, wouldn't it be a good idea to not have any commentators at all? Maybe just to hear the track announcer as Flo Racing does. I feel with the coverage we have had now for, about the past 50 years that it is highly the reason why the sport of auto racing is lacking in popularity. Until the people in charge of the way they present a race to us TV viewers (what is left of them, because I don't watch it anymore), the sport of auto racing will continue to decline. Best thing going today is Flo Sports and Dirt Vision.

I don't like NBC where all the time theiy try to brainwash how difficult NASCAR is. I would prefer the way Ken Squier called the races. Not overly excited, calm, tells what happens.

Dw was so annoying. He'd get mad every time someone wrecked.
