Thumbs down NBC's NASCAR coverage sucks !!!

I think NBC better take a close look at FOX's formula for covering these races. This Pepsi 400 was full of tech glitches, slow status displays (that weren't real accurate), poor in-car camera action and really lousy commentary.

NBC must have thought that ABC was the standard to go by.

Not to mention the ton of commercials they showed every couple of laps or so.

I almost stopped watching the race cause of NBC. I hope they start making some big changes fast.

I ended up turning off the sound on the TV and putting MRN on the radio. At least that way you could hear what was going on during the flood of commercials played by NBC (Nothing But Commercials).

Default Yep, Waltrip made the Show

I agree that NBC hasn't kept pace with the FOX version. Darrell Waltrip seems to be the main difference with his banter and jokes. NBC needs to change their commentators, except for Benny Parsons. He's no Waltrip, but at least he has knowledge of the sport. Only Brett Musberger would be worse than the crew they got.
