2009 OPer Awards: Worst NASCAR TV Network

December 19, 2009

For the second consecutive year, ESPN is our choice as the network that does the poorest job of broadcasting the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races.

I think that ESPN’s problem is the fact that they are…well…ESPN. They are the stick and ball network. They are the Sports Center Highlight Network. Sound bites and Web Jems are their bag.

NASCAR races - especially the long, three to four hour Cup contests don’t produce tight little packages of content like that. So ESPN seems to need to create “stories” to show during the races. And they too often miss the race.

2008 OPeR Award: Best NASCAR Network Coverage

December 18, 2008

The Fox Sports crew, featuring Darrell Waltrip, Larry MacReynolds, Jeff Hammond, et al, do a terrific job of bringing NASCAR to the people. Whether you are a casual, couch-racer or long-time, moonshine lovin’ circle tracker, Larry Mac, DW and Hollywood can get the story-lines and tech stuff across better than just about anybody.

But for a NASCAR addicted, no-life-of-any-kind fanatic (like a NASCAR blogger, for instance) there is nothing like the in-car-with-Junior hissownself-experience of a Sunday at Martinsville with Direct TV’s Hot Pass. Too bad it appears to have come to an end.
