    I'm in the UK so for us Murray Walker is the beginning and end of motor racing commentary. But I've started to really gain a love for the NASCAR voices I've seen over the years as I've gotten into the sport. This was a lovely look back for those of us who need to learn the history and how NASCAR got to where it is now.

(Except for the ocassional one off with Mike Joy and Chris Economacki). Re-watching the European version with Murray Walker was like a completely different race which was exciting).

    2:01 as an announcer, it is tough to contain your excitement on a game-changing call because you need the audience to understand you. And sometimes your brain will fry up trying to setup the finish and start stumbling or get words mixed up.

    Thank you for giving Mike Joy the recognition he deserves. A lot of fans today just lump him in with the rest of the poor broadcast that Fox has turned into in the last handful of years which is a totally unfair. The guy is a legend and has probably forgot more about automobiles and auto racing than most people know.

  • @TheLifeOfBK
    @TheLifeOfBK Рік тому +7

    I'm happy to see this. The TV people get largely crapped on in the social media world (some of it deserved, most of it not). So I'm happy to see a video that is straight up appreciation of some of these legends. I've been watching since 93 and Mike Joy became my favorite calling BGN races on TNN when I was a kid. I realize his time is coming to end and I appreciate every moment that he's still calling big time races. Its been sad to see many online turn against him. I have a feeling 2024 might be the last year we have him in the Cup booth with a new contract starting 2025. I hope he gets to go out on his own terms and isn't bullied out by a Twitter mob.

    I think Bestwick is my all time favorite, especially from his work for Dirt to Daytona, but it’s been great to see Mike Joy in the booth with many different announcers and do so well. It’s unfortunate he’s starting to have a lot of slip ups, and I fear he won’t be in the booth for too many years to come.

    Also, Paul Page did in fact do NASCAR, yes, and just about everything else in the 80s/90s, too, actually Paul got Jenks his start in broadcasting at ESPN, see Paul's ep on Dinner with Racers wher he mentions it. Seems back in the 80s/90s you'd get comentators doing a bit of everything, pit reporters too, Jack Arute went from NASCAR one week to CART then the ALDS then IROC it felt like back to back on TV, Gary Gerould got sent on assignment when he wasn't the radio voice of the Kings, and so on. I miss those days. I wanna hear Rick Allen calling something totally random like SRX or the Soapbox Derby. Murry Walker over here went everywhere, commentated on everything. in 94 he showed up in the SPN booth with Paul Page for a talk, he then went to Australia later in the year to cover the ATCC, was the voice of the Split in Aussie tin top racing (yes that was a thing an a rabbit hole all on its own....), rallycross, you name it he did it

    Also I hope that Harvick's inclusion next season will truly bring out Bowyer's potential. The idea that Bowyer who gave easily some of the best skits, interviews, and such to encapsulate the hothead fun of this Southern sport is failing to produce some great clips is inconceivable

    • @DepravedCoTApologist
      @DepravedCoTApologist Рік тому +2

      Bowyer has had a shit hand dealt to him. He's been unable to create consistent chemistry with his costars due to the revolving booth, it's clear that he and Mike Joy don't have matching energies, and it's clear that Fox's producers prioritize goofiness and silliness in their style, and it puts Bowyer in a box where he has to be the "funny guy" in the booth (remember when Fox was pushing Bowyerisms in his first Duels broadcast?). If you listen to his commentary in 2019/2020, it's completely different from this season. He has the potential to become another one of the all-time greats in TV, but he's not in the right environment to foster that potential

    I got the honor of running into Doug Rice this last week at Las Vegas. One of my dreams in life is to be a NASCAR announcer so when I saw Doug I knew I had to get a picture with him and talk with him for a minute. When I tell you he was just as excited as I was for me not just to recognize him, but to also want to be where he is, I wouldn’t be lying for a second. My parents witnessed the whole thing and said we both lit up. He is one of the greats and I have no doubt that he will make the hall of fame as an announcer. PRN will never be the same without him after this season
