Vince did not add much to the broadcast. Dillion is good but not a front man. Like it or not, in today's age of racing, sponsors are a necessity. There is a certain skill in reading team sponsors and plugging series sponsors. The other thing I think several of us forget about, many fans are seeing their first ever wing race. Some attending there first ever dirt race. Good announcers always remember this. In this aspect a good announcer is also a teacher. I understand than not all fans need this. But the number 1 thing that annoys me about IndyCar, is having to explain to the people around me what is going on. I normally do not have to do that at a short track because most short track announcers do a good job educating the fans. I know enough about these events, I did not mind the announcing crew. Its not as smooth as the big traveling series. That was very noticeable.
