I watched the broadcast.
- The track was dust free (and I was very fearful of showing a dusty track on National TV)
- Everything was right to the point (no hour long prerace show, thankfully)
- They really promoted the drivers. I expected to see LUCAS, LUCAS, LUCAS, but did not, they really focused on the drivers by plugging the nick names (ie. "Real Deal" Don O'neal), doing brief interviews with the drivers showing their shops & family, and the sponsors.
- In victory lane the winner says "NASCAR ain't got nothin' on this!"
Overall a very good positive portrayal of dirt racing. Only thing I can think of that they really needed to do for the layman race fan tuning into dirt racing for the first time was explain how the drivers got into the show (heats, B's, etc), but I think this was left out due to time constraints.
On a technical side of the broadcast,
Wish they would have worked on the ambient sounds more. You really couldn't crank up the volume and hear the cars without getting your ears blown out by the announcers (and that's a pretty petty complaint to have IMO).
