LOL at "say goodnight, Gracie". Like him or hate him, that's funny.

What's with all the pre-race telecast? I can see it for Daytona, but c'mon. Begin the telecast, sing the National Anthem, and get racing. 15 minutes is enough pre-race for 90% of the races out there. Hopefully it'll get better when they come back to the East coast.

At both of the above statements. I was laughing my a$$ off when he said that.

The pre-race is a joke. The lame musical acts, digger cartoons, etc.

I miss the old ESPN coverage. They had pretty good prerace coverage. FOX prerace coverage is a joke. Only thing I liked about an hours worth of coverage is the Gordon interview.
I know it's Vegas, but can they please stop using the gambling references. It got very old, very quick. The race track isn't the casino.

Someone please go gopher hunting! Is it Digger season yet?

I too am tired of the corny Vegas jokes. "Hey it's Vegas, roll the dice"

I also miss ESPN. You would turn on ESPN at 12:30, they would be singing the national anthem, give you the starting grid, and then GREEN FLAG!
