I personally can’t wait to see Fox leave and on to TNT and RaceBuddy!! It was great last year and they say will be better this year. And, should have more than 6 races.
______________________________________________
They may have only six races, but last season the NASCAR on TNT crew put on a show that captured both the attention and imagination of fans across the country. This summer, the network is bringing the type of technical innovation that will change how fans want to view races forever.
It was a simple online application called RaceBuddy that TNT offered last year as a companion for the TV coverage of the race. Computer users could access several cameras directly as well as driver audio feeds. The cameras included in-car views, a dedicated pit road camera and a camera up on the grandstand roof that continually followed the best racing on the track, wherever it was happening.
By simply adding that online offering to viewing the TNT coverage of the race, it was easy to get deeply involved in directing and producing a personal version of the live races. TNT supplied the raw materials and told the fans to simply have fun.
This summer, beginning on June 7 in Pocono, TNT returns with all the usual suspects from last season. Marc Fein and Larry McReynolds will share the infield stage while Bill Weber, Kyle Petty and Wally Dallenbach will call the six races. Down on pit road will be Matt Yocum, Marty Snider, Ralph Sheheen and Lindsay Czarniak.
TDP fans will also appreciate the return of Director Mike Wells who frames NASCAR races from a true fan’s perspective. Last season Wells and his crew showed viewers the power of effective camera work and a thorough understanding of the sport. Click here to read the TDP summary of TNT’s 2008 effort. Some of the reader comments really tell the tale.
This year, TNT may have really pushed the NASCAR TV envelope to a new level. The network has decided to pour a ton of resources into an expanded RaceBuddy that will change the viewing experience of NASCAR racing once again.
Back by popular demand will be the battle-cam. This is the “high” camera that just scans the track for the best racing regardless of position. Also back will be the various “speed shots” offered via track-cam. These are the fixed cameras around the track that feature the field roaring by with full audio as well.
Obama’s, AND AlGore’s fault, too.
Ya know, globull warming.....
It’s free and no commentating on that. You can mute the TV :)

A tad frustrating to say the least.
Reminds me of when Mom got a new VCR. Son had always programmed it for her, but he was overseas. Told her I would do it and she flat told me no, she would wait for him to return.
Six months later, he came back and did it. :)
I don’t have a sister, so would really know about that.
Am willing to try it though if you have one that would volunteer....
Love the cool Monster graphics!
I’ll be at this race with my daughter. Looking forward to it. Depending on weather, we may go to Qualifying on Friday.
Ok. And you think you can discuss driving styles with Tony Stewart? You get dropped on your head a lot when you were little Dwayne?
I talked to my little sister about your offer and she is on the way...
I was just thinking about the old “be careful what you wish for” line.
We finally got some rain today.
Now it probably won’t stop for 40 days.
Started on the Ark last week here in WV!
Looks like one of my old ones...
It’s been so long since we’ve seen rain, people don’t know what to do.
Thanks for the ping. Here’s hoping Dover is as exciting as Charlotte was not!!
