Bad NASCAR Commentary

I'll keep this brief. On the final lap of the Pepsi 400 on Saturday night in Daytona, TNT's commentators (I think Kyle Petty was the guilty party, but I can't remember for sure) started conceding the race to Kyle Busch because he was on the inside of Jamie McMurray. In some instances this would have been correct, at some tracks the inside line is the place to be. But, for them to proclaim Kyle Busch the victor as they entered turn 4 showed that they apparently hadn't watched the Daytona 500 back in February. That day, on the same track, Kevin Harvick used the outside line and a push from a car behind him (much as Jamie McMurray got from Carl Edwards on Saturday night) to pass Mark Martin in the last 200 yards or so and win that race.

Fast forward 4 months and guess what happened? Jamie McMurray slid past Kyle Busch and won by .004 seconds (which translates to a couple of inches). Brilliant TNT!

How many more races do we (the fans) have to endure TNT's JV coverage? It's like going to church on Sunday and expecting to hear Robin Sigars preach only to get there and find out that I'm preaching. I mean you still love Jesus and being there is still good, but let's be honest there's no comparison.

Fox, please purchase the rights for the whole season from now on. I can't take much more of TNT/NBC.
