I always listen to the races on the radio... I have been doing that since I was a kid and before there were televised races. So now I watch the TV with the sound turned down, and the radio on. I would rather listen to Davey Hamilton and Mike King before Scott Goodyear and Marty Reid any day hands down.
If ESPN/ABC really wanted to drive up their ratings, they would bring back Bob Jenkins. He knows more about the sport than anyone, and has a GREAT personality and charisma.
