I love Fox... nice how they go to commercial while Jeff Burton is in 13th, come back and he's in 41st... not say anything until he comes back on the track talking about how he had a radiator problem.

Oh boy, do I love Fox. Stupid retarded mediawhores. Let's watch Dale Jr. & Michael Waltrip all day.

I really don't know if NBC is much better. I'd prefer it if ABC, ESPN, and TNN (now SpikeTV) still carried the races like in the old days.

can someone explain how watching nascar is fun? i mean its a bunch of cars going in circles. and there are too many laps. what makes it so interesting to some people?

The stance you take on NASCAR is equivelent to the stance most people do. Forgive me for saying so, but calling it a bunch of guys going in circles is beyond ignorant. You have to appreciate the planning and execution that goes into a race that can be decided by thousandths of a second. Every little change, tweak, and improvement made to a car during practice and the race can change the outcome dramatically. For example, something going wrong on a pit stop can cost a driver spots on the track and ruin their chances in the long run. If a car is loose in the corners, tire pressure adjustments and wedge adjustments can help it perform better and gain more speed without sacrificing handling. Calling it cars going in circles is as stupid as saying that basketball is only interesting for the final two minutes. All events previous have an effect on the outcome.

When ABC and ESPN used to cover races there was a smaller fanbase for the sport, but those who were interested were very hardcore followers that knew much about it. Now, with the exploding popularity of NASCAR, the newer fans are relatively clueless. Everything has to be explained, such as drafting, a car being loose, a car being tight, etc. These were things that every fan used to already know and allowed the on-air commentary to be much more technical. Unfortunately in its current state it helps spread the common belief that it is what you said it to be.

yea, i agree with what you said stncttr, back in the day espn and abc did the races, i enjoyed watching them, but now they fox and tnn or tnt, which ever one has it, its more 'n00b friendly' and you hear the same thing over.

but yea, that was a great finish, another 5 foot and Kahne would of had him.

      Thanks, Sony and Nintendo, you effectively killed platform-agnostic gaming. Long gone are the days when you could wish to play a specific game on whatever platform you were. Now, you have to buy the hardware just to play that single game. What, you're only interested in THAT game and nothing more? Bad luck, suck it and buy our console.

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
