I was really diggin' the coverage on channel 795 until that moron, Kurt Busch put the leader in the WALLLLL!!!
What a JERK!!! :x
Aside from that, HotPass is pretty cool... gives you a better look at the teamwork which takes place in a given team, but they do have a few bugs to work out.
Yaa, like when they were sticking the microphone into Kurt's helemt, I switched from Team Audio, to Fox Audio and they were having some audio problems, so I couldn't here his LAME ASS EXCUSE!!! :x

Dean...the Fox commentators all were in agreement, from revue that 20 got down onto the apron, caused enough of a bauble in the car and he checked up into the back of him. Right now Busch is accepting responsibility for it, but everyone was saying that's not necessarily the case. Doug

I agree...I truly dislike Kurt but I don't believe you can hang all the fault on him............. 8)
...I have come to believe that, conflict resolution, through violence, is never acceptable.....................mj

Ugggh I didn't realize that David Ragan was there. I don't like him either. He was on that Driver X television show where the winner wins a ride with Roush. He was one Cocky SOB on that show. No doubt, a talented driver but that's what we need another cocky prima donna on TV.

I raced with the Busch brothers father in Las Vegas and I don't doubt that they think that their stuff doesn't stink. (racer's ego) However, Kurt is watching his P and Qs and trying to do the right thing. Tony moved down the track, got into the rumble strip, let off of the gas and Kurt tagged him - plain and simple. It's almost impossible to check up in that short of a distance at 185 MPH with inches betwen cars. Here's a test - you and your wife take two cars and head out to the freeway. She ahead of you and you are going 75 MPH BUT you are only 12 inches from her rear bumper. At some point unknown to you she lets off of the gas - see if you can keep from tagging her bumper. I could never do it at the track either..................

This post was fueled by emotion...
I take full responsibility for my actions and would like to issue an appology to all the Kurt Busch fans on this forum.

Back to the original question.

I am glad I did not buy it.....

It was ok. I was under the understanding that it was commercial free. I was wrong. They switched to the FOX feed every time FOX went to commercial. Yes they kept the race going in a small box but most of the time they were in commercial was when the best communication would have been take place between the drive & crew chief.

I was cool seeing Parsons wave the green flag & commentate at the same time.

I had to leave during the first 1/3 of the race so I missed all the wrecks. I would have linked to be on Stewarts channel when he wrecked.

That's what my son said.....thought it was commerical free. He also didn't like it because when the yellow comes out the talk happens with car to pit more and he felt he was cheated by not hearing this. He hopes it was only for the "free preview" and not the rest of the races.
