At this point, I won't be surprised if I'm in there.

I missed that.
Despite the bumbling fools attempts to cover everything up, the survivors have some of the names and they aren't scared like the cowards we have in office.

FOX is trolling us now. They keep playing that Visit California commercial which is set to Up Around The Bend (Amazon Prime's theme song).
'Us', or you?

This opinion-stated-as-fact reminds me of the old saying... "One man's trash is another man's treasure."
My opinion is that Leigh Diffey is absolute trash as a racing play-by-play announcer. Any kind, and every kind of race... my opinion is the same. I've seen him butcher the call in Nascar, Indycar, IMSA, Supercross and Motocross, and each is worse than the one before. Manufacturing fake excitement when none is warranted. Extreme diarrhea of the mouth... the guy just won't shut up. He has this annoying speaking style of squeezing two or three of his extraneous cue card background facts into the same sentences he uses to call the action. The result is truly cringe-worthy IMO.
Diffey has a reasonable base of racing knowledge, and that is a credit to the guy, but he's not an insider to any of the series he calls. Thus, he misses the nuances that inform Mike Joy's work. He tries to make up for that by spouting three times as many words... again missing the nuance that Mike Joy's brevity is an asset. That's my opinion and it's reasonably well educated on the topic. I'll thank you to label your opinions as such every now and again.

I’m shocked Fox hasn’t announced Jamie Little, Michael Waltrip and Clint Bowyer as the Cup booth for next year yet.

OK I'll bite. I liked the cartoon graphics and the current graphics are worse imo.
I also liked it when driver's hometowns were mentioned in the starting grid graphics.

How can a telecast be this bad?
My apologies to NBC for the criticism of their IMSA coverage. That's an Emmy Award broadcast compared to this.

How come Fox IndyCar ads can be so creative? None of that stuff for NASCAR.
Funny, I've been creeped out by the Newgarden ad, and I like the guy.
Does Fox itself produce the ads or are they from an agency hired by IndyCar?

Idk who does the ads but I’ve been told FOX took this ad campaign proposal to NASCAR and was rejected.
