TruTV (TNT Sports) is debuting a weekly NASCAR show tomorrow and NASCAR is launching its own daily show on YouTube, likely in preparation of their upcoming FAST channel.

These shows are all being produced by NASCAR so I wouldn't read too much into that. But a rumor I've heard is that he's gonna follow Dale Jr to TNT and Prime.
I wouldn't be surprised if the NBC booth was completely different next year.

Hès absolutely going to follow Dale IMO. Heck, it was basically in Dales contract that Letarte had to be a part of the NBC broadcast team.
Latarte is a wealth of information. I could listen to him talk NASCAR all day.

I could see TNT or Prime being Rick Allen, Dale Jr and Steve Letarte. Or Adam Alexander in place of Rick Allen.
NBC has the right guy for PxP. How the rest of this shakes out, nobody knows yet.
Jamie McMurray deserves a booth job. So does Kurt Busch. And who knows, maybe that's the direction MTJ goes.

I wouldnt be surprised if Amazon/TNT got the band back together amongst Rick Allen, Dale Jr and Stevie. Burton sits out that dance as hes at NBC hopefully in a cushy studio job next year. Very intriguing to see how NBC molds the booth next year around Diffey, hes been such a breath of fresh air and really really amazing the last few weeks. Rumor is Fox is looking to sign Bestwick for Indy Car which would be pretty damn cool.

Dale himself talked about how part of his contract was that Steve had to remain part of the team

Yessir. I knew he talked about it I just didn't remember exactly when and on what podcast so I didn't add any quotes.

I think Rick Allen will become the voice of the Xfinity series on CW.

Is Diffey starting to wear anyone else down? I liked his approach at first, but yesterday during the Atlanta race he seemed to be really over the top. Perhaps in all honesty he was really amazed at the racing and the performance of the drivers, but he was getting away from announcing the race with his "jaw dropping" moments all day.

What I dreaded is coming true. Diffey has been gerbilized. He's shouting like Rick.

Overwhelmed by the sheer drama of the NASCAR Playoffs. It happens to the best of us.
He's doing what I said he was going to do.

Who will be calling the races on CW?

Jesus Christ.
NASCAR really does have the worst television package in all of major American sports. The sheer volume of races that you need cable TV to watch is going to cause a major contraction in viewership.

So basically they're moving the only race broadcast itself? That's a pretty big step back in order to eventually take two forward in the spring.

Yes.
I do know The CW is available on YouTube TV though, as well as other cable providers.

Yeah, my local provider has it on their app.

The CW/Xfinity Series deal already looks like it could go down as one of the best the sanctioning body has ever signed.

I've never tuned in to CW before tonight. Local ads are broadcast at a much louder volume than network ones. Hopefully they'll get that straightened out in a week or two.

Looks like CW may start calling some races from a remote location like FOX did with the trucks. That's not going to go over well with a lot of people.

Can we just LOL / SMH at the call today during the closing laps? They seemed to completely miss that the Chevys were running a block. Leigh was even saying things like "the 3 and the 1 are right there, can Byron hold them off"? I was just laughing, like how can you not see what's happening here?

There was a line of cars a mile long behind the 24 lol. I listened to MRN instead of the gerbils, but they were all in also. It's ridiculous to see wide scale cheating and a system that Nascar and the network tries to cover up for.
