What's up with Fox1 Sports?

They must have fired all their production personnel. Either that or they got their heads whacked during one the constant fight club broadcasts. The first time I tuned in this morning to their Daytona coverage the talking heads had no sound for over a minute. Then the picture went blank during another broadcast. They break for commercials and then go back while John Roberts is tapping his pen on the desk. If this is what we have to look forward to for the rest of the year NASCAR is doomed for sure.

I hope they do a better job as the year goes forward. As big a race as the Daytona 500 has become, they should have interviewed each driver. Just to make the Daytona is a big feat. The race coverage would be much better for the fans if they could hear about each drivers effort to make the Big Race.

NASCAR doesn't really concern me, but they better not screw up coverage of the 24 hours of Le Mans this summer. I will be angry then.

their coverage has been ok if you ask me, however I don't like their new position tracker/scroll thing that they introduced this season. I don't know, maybe I'm just not used to it but to be it's cluttered and harder to read at a glance. yes, the old style (like they have on ABC/ESPN) takes longer to go though everyone but I still like it better.

Fans are getting screwed with Sebring coverage. 3hrs on TV to start the race and rest online. Which is OK if the servers can handle the traffic, but I'd rather have it on the channel.

That's such crap! The servers never seem to work like they're supposed to.

Unhappy

Limited coverage is just plain lame.

It is an outrage that so many broadcasters are rushing content to the web. Like that helps. The audience/eyeballs is a lot smaller than their 'experts' think.

USA internet speed ranks 31st in world, falls behind Estonia...

Why is American internet so slow?
The country that literally invented the internet is now behind Estonia in terms of download speeds
