Default ESPN Still Having Problems With NASCAR Broadcasts - 08-06-2009 , 08:14 PM






http://awfulannouncing.blogspot.com/2009/08/espn-still-having-problems-with-nascar.html

Last year, ESPN received a ton of flak for their NASCAR coverage. Fans
accused the "Leader" of not being ready to cover the sport, and a lot
even thought that the network tried to create drama, to create story
lines. Well this year ESPN has another chance, and so far, it's not
off to a good start.

During Monday's makeup day in Pocono, Kasey Kahne got into the back of
Juan Pablo Montoya on a restart. Kahne apologized to Montoya after the
race, but ESPN reporter Vince Welch didn't see it that way. Welch
accused Montoya of being the aggressor, and the driver of the 42 car
didn't appreciate it at all....

You can obviously put some of the blame on Montoya's reputation, but
that was pretty much an epic fail for Welch. Hopefully ESPN can get
their act together for NASCAR fans, but it's not looking good.
