After watching auto racing on TV for many years, I decided about 5 years ago to stop watching. I was constantly irritated with the announcers that the networks employed as well as the constant commercial breaks that they took. I also quit listening to MRN radio and the constant interruption of commercials to stick in a racing update.:O:

Instead I spend my time going to short tracks and watching the action live.:thumb That also allows me to follow whatever cars and drivers that I want to. I am not at the mercy of the producers/directors of the TV networks, in hopes of seeing something other than a few "select" drivers.

So no more Mike, Darrell, Larry, Jeff, Kyle, Scott, Marty, Jack or any of the host of others that don't have a clue how to speak much less describe the action. No more Fox Sports, TNT, ESPN or ABC for me. I have found that I haven't missed anything and enjoy watching the rising stars along the way.
