NASCAR on ABC = no coverage of restarts?

[polarsusd81]

So what was the deal with the ABC coverage last night? Did anybody else notice that they didn't have coverage of any restarts after cautions? After a redflag restart, they were in commercial and we come back to see during the restart John Andretti in the 49 car blew up and had already pulled off the track and climbed out of the car by the time they came back live. They really need to get it together over there quick or there will be a lot of unhappy fans out there. I personally think the restarts are one of the best parts, more passes made here than most other situations. I can understand its the first time in quite some time you have NASCAR on the network and its a good time to get advertising, but lets not sacrifice coverage of the race for a buck, or they might not cover it again.

Between the poor coverage and that it was another boring COT race, I turned the channel. If thats the way NASCAR wants there coverage to be, oh well. It's all about the almighty dollar and not the fans.

ABC's coverage has alway's been poor. IMO

DVR, recorded it and watched it in 1 hour and 45 minutes. At 1 point I skipped 6 min of commercials and 2 min later another 5.

I don't know of any of the networks not having issues with restarts....they've all missed some here and there, just some worse than others.

It's just as bad as the other networks...too many commercials, and to be honest, poor race coverage altogether. They focused on Jr all night with his chance to get in the chase. It's not anywhere near what things were like with ESPN years ago...they covered different racing all over the track.

My opinion here...Rusty needs to improve a bunch, and although the cut-away car is nice, I think they over-use it...and that draft-trax thing... Its almost as bad as Benny parsons (God rest his soul) with tight and loose on TNT. How many times did we see that during a race?

Did any notice the low volume of the radio conversations? Why have an in race reporter when you cant hear them anyway.
