Ah, the overplayed Siri "Bagman...Bagman, Bagman" bit.....and now we get to hear Bagman play with Siri. They do this because they don't understand the sport and need to fill time.....and this from the self-described NASCAR conduit. I think we have a problem here.
(but I really really miss Mr. Barney Hall) greatest of all time auto race announcer, may god rest his soul.

Wish I could like this twice. Barney Hall could paint a great mental picture and bring the excitement of a race to life without sounding like a raving lunatic (see Moody) or a sophomoric goofball (see Bagley). And I also echo your sentiments on Ken Squier, I never cared for the guy as an announcer. Between his massive man crush for Dale Earnhardt and his commentary on disabled cars going to the "gararge", I just never thought he was that good.How these idiots who profess to love and admire Barney Hall cannot understand that their screaming into a microphone over a battle for 38th is the very antithesis of this man I will never know. Maybe it's just IQ points. Dave Moody---Would Barney treat the fans as you do? No. Mike Bagley--Would Barney talk sh!t because he didn't know what to say? No. Pete Pistone-- Would Barney talk about other sports do do a lack of knowledge depth? Never. It really, really, really pisses me off when these clowns talk up Barney, and never follow his example. Barney Hall was the best that will ever be. He was far better than even Ken Squier IMO. Squier wanted to be a wordsmith. He tried to make things sound better than he needed to--like Bagley. Barney just called the damn race, respected his listeners, and loved the sport. Epic.
Bingo.To be fair some of the callers are the dumbest people I've ever heard.
I'm scared that they doBingo.
Why they don't screen the morons out is beyond me.
Hello everyone I am new to posting on this forum, but I am a long time race fan.
I could not agree more with most of the thoughts posted so far about SiriusXM Nascar radio. It is the propaganda arm of Nascar because it is MRN radio that makes the content for the channel. And MRN is owned by the France family which we all know owns Nascar and ISC.
The annoucers are definitely told what to say and have to spew the company line. Mike Bagley ask much as admitted this fact on air but it was only one time I heard him do it and I believe he slipped up in doing it. He had just come back on air after the David Poole death and Mike was talking how he found out about David. Bagley said quote " I saw on my caller ID that it was Daytona Beach Nascar headquarters and I wondered what did I say wrong now". Bagley then said Nascar listens to the shows.
As far as Dave Moody I believe he should resign his position. The reason I say this is; and we all heard him do this, is how he belittles callers with ideas. Case in point people called his show in 2012 or 13 and suggested eliminations for chase rounds and of course Moody was a smart as to them. He would them make smart comments that we should put jumps on the backstretch and snipers on the roof the shoot out the tires of the last place cars. Yet we all know that Nascar put into place eliminations in the chase and our hero Moody said what a wonderful great idea. He has a spine made of jelly. I guess we know what he will do for a paycheck.
Now on to the biggest brownnosers on the channel. Mr. Chocolate Myers and Mr. Kenny Wallace. I like Chocolate but he likes everything and every Monday the previous race weekend was the greatest he has seen. And when Kenny says " I am not kissing Nascar butt and telling it straight" get ready because he is going to lay it on thick.
There is so much more to say but you all get my point. I don't listen to the channel much any more. Wouldn't it be great if we had an independent sports channel that cared enough to talk Nascar and be unbiased.

Not agreeing with the hosts on everything is what makes me listen. The is nobody that they can put on those shows that everyone will be happy with.I would love to see the NASCAR Channel clean house. I love my NASCAR on the radio, but they are making it very hard to like.

.......the dude living in his Mom's basement chomping on a Happy Meal while playing with the Hotwheel than digging a caller who has become defenseless because he/she hung up.
Why would they engage anyone away from their job in a NASCAR debate? Especially a stranger. Their job is done when they leave the air. You guys don't like it, don't listen. If there are enough of you, they'll lose their job. In the meantime I'll be listening.That's why the hosts don't engage in debate on neutral ground away from the studio.
You guys don't like it, don't listen.
Anyone maybe. Everyone, no.I, for one, don't.
If a host is sure of his/her ground, why not put a errant fan in his/her place in public? Wouldn't anyone?

Don't know that I agree completely. If a fan is an *******, then yeah, Moody unleash your bull****, but when a fan is naive; redirect, educate, discuss.
Yeah, it's certainly not for everyone. I've been there since its inception and have been informed and entertained throughout. I don't mind the hosts. Some I agree with, some I don't Some of the callers are very informative and some are way out there. I could say most of those same things about this forum.Some of this Nascar radio crap sounds so bad that it may be good in an unintended way. One of the things I like about the internet is that I can quickly access the information I need and then move on to something else so I rarely ever have the radio on for anything. Listening to inane callers interacting with egotistical hosts does not sound like something I would be remotely interested in and paying a monthly subscription for privilege is daft, IMO.

A little advice for those of you that subscribe to or are maybe thinking about getting SIRIUSXM.
My service includes one vehicle and internet access. Each year my service is set to automatically renew. I always set a reminder on my phone's calendar just before the renewal period. On that day, which is today, I call to cancel my service. Miraculously, they come up with all of these special offers. Cheap enough that I always choose to renew my subscription. It normally takes about five minutes of time on the phone to negotiate the new price. Today, I told them that I wanted to cancel my service. As expected they offered me the service at a 50% reduction. I again told them that I wanted to cancel. They offered me an additional 25% off. I then told them that it was still to high. They then offered me the service for $30/6 months. $5/month for 6 months. I took that deal. Once again, I put in a reminder for 6 months. The process will repeat itself.
All I'm saying is, you may be able to save yourself some money if you take the five minutes. It's worth the time.

Yes, nothing changed with my service.Did this price include the Nascar premium channel?
My free year will be up soon (bought a car last year), how would you go about negotiating that? I def want to keep it.
Caller Allen was an idiot this morning.
Nothing that didn't match the IQ of the hosts. Love the, "...when you get your own show," crap from Pete. Off button worked this morning. Not going to let those guys ruin the first day of a hot track. Nothing reeks more of a teased fat kid living in his Mom's basement chomping on a Happy Meal more that Pete's line. Those guys talk about nothing for 4 hours. I lasted 5 minutes of the what you eat at the track bit yesterday. Seriously? Cars on track today, and nothing else to talk about? Other shows figure it out--except Moody's--see Happy Meal.
Here's a topic for NASCAR Radio discussion that has not been addressed at all.....How draggy will the new Camry be? Everybody recognizes that the front end has lots of contours, etc. Maybe we could get an engineer. Maybe we could talk to Toyota. Then, maybe we could explore a little more why the freakin' hosts say it no big deal to change manufacturers while Rodney Freakin' Childers himself has been saying that it is a nightmare. Seriously. These guys are making sh!t up in favor of talking about their wives gardening in bikinis, track food, and top ten lists of favorite Christmas pies. ...and Pistone calls his show "the conduit to NASCAR." Unfortunately, it probably is.
Caller has CFD running in his head or he's an idiot.The Toyota was brought up on Moody's show last week I believe. He shot it down pretty quickly. Caller was trying to say that it was going to have an unfair advantage down force wise and Moody wasn't having it. He went on about how it was tested in the wind tunnel and that NASCAR and all the other manufacturers signed off on it. That all the information was shown to Ford and Chevy.
Your like the guy who calls regular sports talk radio wanting to break down the intricacies of the in field fly rule, like 10 other listeners may care but not the majority.Here's a topic for NASCAR Radio discussion that has not been addressed at all.....How draggy will the new Camry be?
