Started right on time at 10:30 pm and all is well. Less time spent on burn outs and more racing. Tony P in the booth is even surprising me. I'm excited


1970 Duster
Edelbrock headed 408
5.984@112.52
422 Indy headed small block
5.982@112.56 mph
9.42@138.27

Fox sports 1 rocked it as far as I am concerned. Video audio was off a touch on the interviews but I'm nitpicking. AAAAA plus in my books

I had to mute it. That announcing team is not going to work for me.

I agree, Dave R. Was too hyped up and annoying and Tony was worse than I thought he would be. Coverage seemed rushed too.

Wow first race of the year with new announcers, different channel, Friday qualifying and we still aren't happy. I think I need a vacation. As expected I guess.

I just wish they would show the reaction times and show the qualifying positions when they show thier ET.

I agree more pro stock coverage was a good thing. It's not easy listening to Tony P.

Well Ill give them a pass since it is program #1. But agree Pedregon was almost unwatchable. Missed plenty of facts when explaining PS for instance and his color analysis of the action was non existent and very stiff. But IMO this is the first show, I am sure it will become better with time. Afterall it was his first show.

I thought it was dull. ESPN always covered the crew,driver and team changes for the year a little more in depth. I liked Mike Dunn too. Oh well, just my humble opinion.

As a fan I will give them a pass as it the first broadcast but there is a lot of tuning that needs to be done. The biggest is showing all of the qualifying runs not "most" of them from each round...So while Friday qualifying is nice to see separately either make it longer or combine both days and show them all....

I think Fox did a good job, Tony was Ok and will get better as the season progresses. I give them a up.

It's good to see Clay Millican starting out strong, hopefully he can pick up some wins this year.

Anybody else dissatisfied with the video quality? When the cameras panned the moving cars the video was blurred a little...thought it was my provider/set combo but several friends with different setups reported the same.
