I don't know where they got Dougherty, but he should be sent back.He's about as much use as t--- on a bore hog. Let me announce, I get more excited sitting by myself, watching the race.My suggestion would be Kyle Perry and who he wants with him,at least he keeps you informed and give you a hint of what might happen. He's very good and keeps you interested, these guys announcing now are so boring, they were boring last year.They must be taking naps during the race, they don't even get excited. Just sitting there collecting good money for doing nothing. I agree, the announcers on Saturday make the race very boring!

It wouldn't hurt if Rusty didn't sound so anxious when it was his turn to speak. He appears to cram a lot of stuff into a small window of opportunity. I agree that Rusty should lighten up a little and enjoy that great gig he has. I'll see you cats later. I gotta get my hot rod ready! I remember the Afro too.

He's 70 now. Then Rusty started using that jargon about 10 or 15 years ago. The King can pull it off. Rusty should relax and just be Rusty. He's a very bright and charming guy. I used to see him all the time at the local short tracks when he had that Afro ( late 1970's- early 1980's). He didn't talk like that then. Richard Petty always talked like that. He’s 70 now.

Eli Gold, Jenkins and Bestwick would be a wonderful team but unfortunately we won't be getting that. Rusty would be better if he just quit trying to be cool. Saying things like hot rod and cats all the time grates on you. And when DW is on any show, it becomes the DW show first and everything else becomes secondary. He should be hosting "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader" instead of Foxworthy. Boogity my a** DW. Fisha is on to something.

"live national tv coverage" from espn, oh please, ESPN doesn't show much of anything "live" but commericals,and themselves as the race is going on what the heck are they talking about and repeating each other, explaining over & over as if Nascar fans don't have a clue They never show all the action, hardly any post race interviews NASCAR ratings will go further down, if 2008 is anything like 2007 broadcasts BP I miss ya, Wally, Bill Weber, Alan Bestwick, oh the days of not only watching & enjoying a race, but listening to announcers who made it so much more fun to watch.

“live national tv coverage” from espn, oh please,

ESPN doesn’t show much of anything “live” but commericals,and
themselves as the race is going on
what the heck are they talking about and repeating each other,
explaining over & over as if Nascar fans don’t have a clue

They never show all the action, hardly any post race interviews
NASCAR ratings will go further down, if 2008 is anything like 2007 broadcasts

BP I miss ya, Wally, Bill Weber, Alan Bestwick,
oh the days of not only watching & enjoying a race, but listening to announcers
who made it so much more fun to watch.

I want Eli Gold and Bob Jenkins in the booth with Dr Punch, Bestwick and Despain on pit road with Wally and Larry Mac doing the infield stuff. And BTW that is not for one specific channel that is just my lineup. Honestly DW isn’t much better then Rusty.

I have the fortunate pleasure to only watch their Atlantic telecasts online but they can make a 50-minute Atlantic race WAY more exciting than anyone could put on a 3-hour NASCAR warm-up session (a.k.a. the Grand National Series).
