Chaos on the front stretch there at the end. Shocked they kept it together for a green flag run with all of that blocking down the stretch.

- Start date
FOX's coverage has gone so far down the shitter. 6 commercial breaks in stage 1. The late commercial break in the winding laps of stage 2. Use the damn laps not counted between stages to run your ads. Mike Joy wants to bark at fans who rightfully criticize the amount of commercials and the piss poor product put out on a weekly basis.
Get rid of your cartoon graphics and the banner taking up a huge portion of the screen on the left. Run the scoring ticker at the top or open a damn app for everything they show beyond the leaderboard. Need to let go of their sorry ass production team. With streaming technologies, it is uncalled for to not have at least 30 minutes to an hour of post-race coverage on the Fox Sports app at minimum. Better yet, actually go to the track and act like you want to be apart of the races like NBC Sports does taking their entire team to the track each week, instead of hiding in some studio in Charlotte.
It is evident getting competition in the form of Amazon, Discovery & TNT did nothing to improve their coverage. They have gotten way to damn reliant on their glory years in the 2000s with Mike, Larry, DW, Jeff Hammond, Yocum and that era of FOX Sports that made it work. For goodness sake, cut the damn sideshow comedy routine!! DW is gone, everyone else who sounds so cringey. I've made this spiel here before and read it in various other places too about the same gripes with FOX.

Jimmie Johnson is scheduled to be in the #84 this weekend. Will be interesting to see if Jimmie were to fill in should Jones have to miss any additional races instead of Corey Heim.Jones to miss NASCAR race at Dover after Talladega crash

Penske IndyCar team’s ‘cheating’ and racing’s other biggest scandals

I agree between terrible decisions on tracks, gimmick races, their desire to make the racing too even and tires that never wear out the racing is terrible. NASCAR is pushing the fans away as fast as they possibly can.

I think Harvick has been pretty good this year. I like the dynamic of having former drivers, a crew chief like McReynolds and then someone with a lot of TV experience to tie it all together. With that said I am not as big of a fan of Mike Joy as some others. Bob Jenkins was always good as was Allen Bestwick but Mike Joy seems like he doesn't know what is going on half the time.
One of these new networks has to pick up Allen Bestwick. They are missing out if they don't. Also, with Dale Jr. against the rumors of Richmond losing a race at one of NASCAR's tracks with a lot of tradition and history behind it. Take a road course off the schedule.
