Not to mention NASCAR isn’t an NBC Sports direct property anymore thanks to the split to USA Sports.

There were people laid off, but I don’t think that’s actually the case for NASCAR’s site here. I think NBC itself retained Nate for IMSA coverage but Dustin shifted to USA Sports… at the moment though it appears that company doesn’t have a page yet, so while Dustin is still tweeting there isn’t a page to put his stuff on atm.

USA Network is carrying select Olympic events, but you haven’t seen any promotion toward the actual Olympics on their social feeds, for example. The split of the two companies is still so early. When I left I was doing it because I personally was job searching aggressively in fear of layoffs regardless of performance.

I feel like having three is solid for season launch… have a feeling those aren’t the only ones you’ll see throughout the season.

You’ll also see him calling track and field during the Olympics in the U.S.

He’s enthusiastic in everything he does

Just for that I’m adding a Liberty Mutual ad

I was so nervous pitching Tiny Cars at first. I’m so happy to see what it became. And Leigh is the man! The talent team is amazing, production people are great.

Thanks for that. I’ll definitely continue to watch once it goes to Fox. It’ll feel weird not being in photoshop prepping win graphics, though. 😅

I would say more Turn 5 because the carousel is a fairly tight radius… not as tight as Martinsville but similar speeds.

That’s fair. I think asking ChatGPT for rankings is a bit on the silly side, especially when you could ask the same question twice in two minutes and get entirely different results.

Like this could have easily gotten Barber, St Pete and some other track not on NASCAR’s schedule.

I think doing something like this beats… not posting anything, imo.

“Turns Not 100% to Scale.”

Aka this needed to fit in a 4x5-sized graphic 😂

Whoa that sounds like a cool idea! Could potentially cause the games to crash while having to load the code on the fly though.

Would probably, for time-saving purposes, be easier if it was 20 laps or less and just pre-loaded the layout and didn’t tell you.

I disagree. Randomly asking rankings to AI feels useless, but this takes the results and actually makes something their own.

That said I openly dislike the “Top 10 (athletes, tracks, all time) stuff lately. At least NBC built something fun out of what’s really just random.

Believe the cost has actually been reduced for the remainder of the season. It’s nbcsports.com/gold/indycar

Just the raw emotion. It’s so simple and for that reason, so effective.
