I agree. It is real annoying.

Re: Daytona 500
 

I could hardly watch that last race - as I fast forwarded it.

I could not imagine watching it at regular speed with the commercials!!(There's not that much beer in PA!!)

The digger cartoon is the worst - but what bothers me more is how every week they still have to breakdown the terminology and philosophy of racing, like this is the first time a race has been on TV.

Imagine watching a ball game to have the announcer explain the concept of balls and strikes, or why a player slides into a base constantly during the game, !

2nd race into the season, those 3 fox announcers are annoying as hell already. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

at the rate regular viewers are dropping, the must feel they need to explain every week to the newbies.

"Boogity-boogity-boogity, let's go racing boys" was slightly entertaining the first time Waltrip said it several years ago but now it's just stupid. Digger: Blame stupid s*hit like that on the intense need for advertizing dollars. They think if they put a cartoon rodent in the lower left corner of the screen that kids will want to watch NASCAR on TV and thus become NASCAR "consumers" for life. Seriously, that's how the marketers think. Same thought process went into turning Las Vegas into a "family friendly" vacation destination. That didn't work out either.

It worked for Flintstones vitamins,Camel cigarettes (Joe Camel),and Budwieser (Spuds McKenzie),but I understand what you're saying,not here.
