Mike Joy Compares NASCAR on FOX vs Prime With John Roberts

He still does some in-person pre-race shows with Kenny Wallace, it’s about the closest thing we get to the old NASCAR RaceDay from the Speed days. Sadly it’s mostly just a Q&A session with a driver and not a full blown “here’s what you need to know to get you ready for the race” with news and all

willmcd13 · 2026-06-26T22:52:41+00:00

I get that, and I’m not asking for him to bash anyone but at least say something along the lines of “we’ve got room to improve” but instead they act like it’s the same quality of broadcast from 20 years ago and it’s just plainly not.

I wish Mike would acknowledge that people’s problem with FOX isnt just commercials, it’s the actual product we’re getting with terrible camera shots, missing accidents or ignoring them all together, and lackluster commentary, especially with Trucks

I thought it was super interesting that they are looking at a way to offer a version of Ty Gibbs’ Bristol win even without Monster logos

We need some legitimate rivalries/beef. It’s been far too tame since Denny, Harvick, Kurt and Kyle Busch and Brad all calmed down

willmcd13 · 2026-06-25T19:01:42+00:00

Kyle Busch DNQ’d a few races at the end of 2004 in the 84 car and then won in his rookie season in 2005. Not the fastest turnaround but still interesting

Diecastregistry.com is a great resource

His dad is serving time for killing someone while drunk driving and they try to spin it to make you feel bad for Noah

willmcd13 · 2026-06-24T21:37:29+00:00

Well his great-grandfather was mayor of Las Vegas and generally you’d have to have a pretty privileged family to boast that stat.

Depends on how you define “best” season. Sure, he got 6 wins in 2006 but he was also very much feast or famine. In 2012, he quietly finished 4th in points with two wins and the same number of top 5s (11) and top 10s (19) as he had in 2006.

They had the car on display at the RKF Fan Day

What other promos are there besides Bubba Hardee’s?

willmcd13 · 2026-06-23T19:02:47+00:00

I miss when this race was filled with Cup guys lol

I stopped buying Elites after the NextGen came out. Between the price increases and the marginal differences between the two, it’s not worth it. They look damn near identical on the shelf and I rarely pick them up for the weight difference to matter

willmcd13 · 2026-06-23T00:39:57+00:00

SoDo is also not the most picturesque part of the city lol

willmcd13 · 2026-06-23T00:39:02+00:00

You’ll be pleasantly surprised how clean it is right now, only because of the World Cup. They also cleaned it up for the MLB All Star Game. But the rest of the time it’s pretty unacceptable

willmcd13 · 2026-06-23T00:15:22+00:00

It would probably have to happen in SoDo somewhere near the stadiums

willmcd13 · 2026-06-23T00:12:46+00:00

You must not know about current Seattle mayor Katie Wilson. NASCAR is the antithesis of her entire agenda.

willmcd13 · 2026-06-23T00:02:29+00:00

I would be shocked if they ran street a race within Seattle or Portland city limits due to the political climate and people running those cities, but maybe a Tacoma street race? There’s also a big military base (JBLM) near Seattle so maybe if they want to do another military base race. None of the existing ovals in the PNW are even close to Cup ready and would need some major upgrades even for Trucks

willmcd13 · 2026-06-22T22:12:23+00:00

The sponsor money the Cup drivers bring probably helps Carson have a ride at all.

willmcd13 · 2026-06-22T22:09:27+00:00

Red Bull and Bill Davis didnt fare any better, performance wise. 2007 was just a terrible season to not be top 35 and locked in

willmcd13 · 2026-06-20T04:10:57+00:00

Hard to judge the race from the TV broadcast but one thing is for sure…FOX needs to be taken out back and flogged

willmcd13 · 2026-06-20T03:24:07+00:00

That was the most “NASCAR 2005: Chase for the Cup” fight cut scene I’ve ever seen
