In my own thoughts, I don't think it was horrible like everyone is saying. Listen, nobody is ever going to replace the likes of Steve Evans & Dave McClelland on the old TNN Network unless they find a way to clone Steve Evans from the dead but, I think they were a lot better then some commentators. Remember a few years back we had Paul Paige and Shelly Anderson doing the play by play and I wanted to gouge my ears and eyes out.

I think it was cool that they actually went into the pits and explained different aspects of a pro car, like what does the wing do, what is the black box, etc. They also showed some different aspects of what NHRA Can offer the fan, the street racing at Irwindale, the NHRA Meseum. Stuff that I never saw ESPN do in their telecasts, plus for me I didn't get a chance to watch the finals because I was working so to wake up on Monday and see the repeat of it on in the AM and back on Monday Night Prime Time was great. I know also that NHRA is having a sportsman drivers meetings before each National Event in the respected Division to highlight some of the new things that are coming for the racers. I think this was a great change from ESPN and it will only get better, it was their first shot at doing this....need to give them a chance instead of wanted to rip their heads off.
