And when NBC starts up, people will be saying they can't wait for Fox to return.

July 1st, that would be 128 days I believe.

The grass is always greener on the other side of the infield.

I've been extremely impressed so far by fox's lack of commercials during green so far. I really hope that continues. I counted two commercial breaks during green for the 60 lap clash. I could live with only 6 commercial breaks during racing for a 500 race, much better than every 10 laps at Nothing But Commercials.

FOX is way ahead of NBC coverage. Jeff Gordon in the booth wins it for FOX.

 

[R Clarence]

NBC may have to bring Brian Williams back.

I would hold off on that till we get to regular season length race before being impressed.

I like NBC's overall presentation (graphics, camera angles, etc.) but I like FOX's commentators more. Nothing against Rick Allen, Jeff Burton or Steve Letarte, I just like Mike Joy and Jeff Gordon much much much more.

In all seriousness, I'd love to see NBC put Brian Williams on Countdown to Green.

No doubt.....

No doubt.....

Dude's a huge racing fan, and still the best broadcaster in the business -- which he proved when he anchored MSNBC's coverage of the death of Muhammad Ali.

I don't know if they'd have it on YouTube, but he had a fantastic interview with Earnhardt back in 1999 or 2000, back when he was on MSNBC News.

No doubt.....

Earlier in the evening, someone accused me of trying to be like Andy.

I had to go sit down.

If only FOX could lessen DW's role and move Petree up to the booth and DW/Larry paired with Chris Myers (leave MW to Trucks or something), I wouldn't mind them so bad. Not sure what insight Darrell is bringing up in the booth anymore, he hasn't been in a Cup car in what, 16 years?

He will be flying in by helicopter.

Due to Brian being economical with the truth he would be a better fit at Nascar.
