Primetime's NASCAR Show

by Bruce Simmons

How can I put it - OH MY GOD, there's more episodes of this crap!

There was no announcer explaining the statistics, the money, the intricacies of sponsorships, just fan interviews, and some type of what you'd call race coverage of one event, while the show focused this episode on Montoya, Martin and Johnny Sauter.

At one point, while we watch Sauter dealing with a air cooling system failure, they switch away to a black screen and print the words on the screen that he is having problems.

Not once did an announcer say one thing. Did they not want to pay someone any more than what they already spent on the production? Deliverance type music played in the background at times, I'm sure, shoring up some people's perspective on the sport rather than helping the sport get a better image... Thanks ABC.. nice job yet again in your attempt at insightful coverage of our favored sport!
