Cup RACE thread ---- Atlanta

[jaqua19]

This was THE most obnoxious broadcast in NASCAR history.

It's textbook NBC. This wasnt a NASCAR broadcast, it was a Chase Elliott documentary.

NBC finds a way to make this sport look so artificial sometimes.

It's about narrative moreso than racing

This is really cringe. WWE like stuff with the coverage. My cats are freaking out and my fiance is mocking Steve Letart lol

NBC at it's finest.

I like NBC but that was terrible.

This is why people don’t like Chase, because of Fox and NBC fanboying so hard over him, rooting for him to win, and then treating it like WWE.

The third generation of NASCAR on ESPN cannot come soon enough. Assuming they get rights.

 

[AdoubleU24]

All of you bitching about the block…. Lol. It was barely a block. Corey ran out of talent.

This. Would've been much worse had be been on his door or if Chase was the one in 2nd. On the last lap at your home track and you're trying to win a regular season title, there are much dirtier moves.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

I've never been a fan of the WWE talk, but you just had to have the feeling that Elliott would come out on top with all the coverage they gave Dawsonville.

I’m a realist and 100% prepared to admit it when fandom accepts that SR’s 500 and Jr’s 400 win were fixed. Waiting…

 

[AdoubleU24]

The hater saline plus confetti sticking to car for a good win diecast makes this an awesome day. Loving it!

That's a lot of confetti

I don't think Fox is bad.

NBC is trash, imo. They don't fanboy over Chase..they fanboy over WHOEVER drives the story.

Broadcasts shouldn't have a bias. It makes it looks fictional.

They didn’t talk to Ross or Denny yet? Horrible.

Fox isn’t as bad about it now that Gordon’s not in the booth. That COTA broadcast last year did me in with Jeff Gordon.

NBC took it to a whole new level today. That was some WWE shiit.

Yeah Fox fanboys over being annoying. How people can like Fox is beyond me.

Like it or not, a lot of people are Chase fans and do want to hear about Chase.

Little E yeah I've heard that's maybe/probably fixed.... never heard that about Sr.'s win...

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Ross: “I took the best car here and tore it up a couple times.” Yeah, you wrecked the 11 twice Ross.

 

[Magicmiler]

Right about now I miss TNT and their Summer 6 coverage from years back...

FOX Sports is just as bad when it comes to Chase .

 

[racingfan7]

I don’t think Ross cares

I had an engineer tell me, but… some random message board dude… I get it. Nascar 50th anniversary, etc…. I get it.

Yeah, it was just really fun coverage, I liked the rotating in air studio they had for a few years.

 

[racingfan7]

NBC does need to stop with the Ross talk. As better as they are than Fox.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

I don’t think Ross cares

No, but he will when he’s fenced in the playoffs.

Fellas ,fellas…”to be the man…you have to beat the man!”

NBC itching for fisticuffs for Ross just as bad as some of us on here. I’m guilty as charged

I think I'd rather throw rocks at my TV than go back to those days. Probably would see more racing and less commercials doing that than TNT's coverage of NASCAR

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

First to 3 wins. Not bad for a guy who’s been passed Over by all his teammates.

 

[racingfan7]

No, but he will when he’s fenced in the playoffs.

Ross doesn’t care what Chase and Denny think or say, especially Denny

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

They have till the top of the hour , plenty of time left for those interviews

I didn’t know they stay on longer than Fox

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Ross doesn’t care what Chase and Denny think

Or the 27 other guys who want his ass?

But I miss Bill Weber

 

[StandOnIt]

This was THE most obnoxious broadcast in NASCAR history.

Not so fast they have a month and a half left and THEN the playoffs. They will be well tuned up for that ugh.

 

[jws926]

Every race for NBC's( and USA) portion have post race scheduled

 

[jaqua19]

Sour in losing, ****y in winning. Miss me with the victim/hater stuff and just enjoy the win. This has nothing to do with Larson (who's having a fine season), or Chase. It's the same stuff about NBC's narrative driven broadcast that I bitch about on a weekly basis.

I hate the way they cover the sport, and with today's race being in the most popular driver's home state, it was prime time to dial that style up to 11.

As far as NBC goes..oh yeah, big time hater.

You spent all last year ****ting on Chase for being Larson's bitch - in your own words.

Make up your mind

" We looked it up so you didnt have to, the count down is at zero" line he would say.

Ross is second in the points, that's where he is at.

 

[Speedbowl14]

If the "NBC fix" really was in there's be an ounce of diversity in that Pool Room crowd...

Said no one ever.

I don’t miss the 300 commercials for Rizzoli & Isles every race.
