Did TNT have good coverage for its first race of the season?

Question

they made a lot of mistakes I think.

Answer 1

No good at all. My kids and I are usually glued to the couch watching the race and today we could care less about it.

Answer 2

No. I cannot stand TNTs coverage. Seriously, it totally detracts from the enjoyment of the race.

Answer 3

I liked it, unfortunate for TNT they don't get very exciting tracks, only the Daytona race really sticks out of the 6 they do.

Answer 4

I laughed out loud after a while. First off here in Victoria on TSN they cut into the race on lap 42 (not TNT fault) But then I notice as soon as caution waves they go to commercial & come back after pit stops so we can watch cars follow pace car for several minutes. Then theres the technical glitches. I don't remember them showing the commentators once during race. Maybe that camera didn't work.What a joke.

Answer 5

it was alright, i perfer fox or hot pass on direct tv anyway!

Answer 6

TNT SUCKS SO BAD.....

Answer 7

it has been terrible, just like any other time they've covered it. many technical difficulties early on to the point they had to leave the race coverage.  then their microphones sounded like cheap radios, and at least a half-dozen times, they've got open mikes somewhere other than where they are supposed to be.  

on the other hand, they do have fewer commercials than espn2's coverage of the nationwide series.

Answer 8

TNT's coverage was bad humor. The race started and there was "dead air". The announcers need to work on that one, maybe learn a couple felonious lines or have a cup of coffee before they announce a race. A few laps later more dead air. Then I could hear a broadcast of a stupid "ball game". They couldn't even comment properly when the lead positions were changing. And one of those dudes is going to give me nightmares. Instead of showing Tony Stewarts name, they just showed his car number and sponsor. Even my girlfriend said "what happened", not realizing they switched from FOX to another station. She said the commentary was boring, so I had to cover up for the poor coverage and use my own commentary to keep her interest. I hope those announcers wake up and announce the race as it is in progress, because I don't think they did too good of a job. But I would like to thank TNT for covering the race.

Answer 9

Not good at all.  Technical difficulties, poor reporting (Kasey Kahne picked up 30 spots before it was mentioned), boring/monotone commentators....

Answer 10

You mean there's race coverage? I thought it was a bunch of commercials on this channel.

Answer 11

Not good at all. Missed pit stops, too many commericals, technical difficulties with the audio. The worst part of all I thought was they went to break with 15 laps to go. Fox or ESPN  hardly ever goes to a commerical unless it is under caution but TNT went to break while the race was under the green flag and cars were jockying for position as some pitted and others stayed out.

Answer 12

Lots of mistakes....YES....But, I enjoyed it much better than "The Kyle Busch, Earnhardt Jr. Show"....They actually talked about OTHER racers on the track.

Answer 13

It sucked but the "Race Buddy" was good!

♥♥♥ Go Dale Jr.!!!♥♥♥

Answer 14

if NASCAR was smart enough, they should just outsoure the TNT coverage to MRN or PRN and use the Side By Side thing that ESPN/ABC does for an commercial break in the middle of an IRL race. but they could use it on the Green laps and when it's yellow, the ads fill the whole screen up.

Answer 15

noooooooooooooooo i hated it i like fox better

Answer 16

They were horrible Th had awhole run where they didn't have any audio. They take way tomuch time out of the race for commercials too, they actually wren't that bad for the Pocono race, but wait till they get to Infineon they will do a few laps then head straight for a 5 minute commercial brake. It's just that bad. FOX does this way better than anyone else!
