MORE OF THAT! MORE MORE MORE, great show Eric, wish there were more people in the business like urself

8:24 I think shows like yours are the replacement. They’ve missed the boat, Live broadcast tv is slowing dying. Speed is long gone giving late breaking news update. If NASCAR creates any show it will be in the model of your show or the others you mentioned

You do a good job Eric. You don’t always agree with your view on things, but outside of the Dale Jr Download, you are my go to for NASCAR content. Keep up the good work and keep staying true to yourself and your mission.

Sounds like Eric is making a pitch for himself. Give him the job NASCAR, and put this man in a NAPA auto parts shirt, Busch Light hat, and get him a Dr. Pepper immediately 👍

I agree especially with Adam Alexander for The CW. love his energy

My dream booth would be Alan bestwick, Dale Earnhardt jr, and Carl Edwards (Jamie McMurray can work as well). If Amazon can get it done DO IT PLZ

I don’t know if this is realistic But I really liked Chad Kanaus in the few races he did with Fox. I know he’s heavily tied with HMS but I thought he did a really good job.

Awesome show eric, you're the future nascar show, and I'm good with it. You talk about every driver and you seem to like all drivers. And your honest... Awesome

So I’m a short track racer out of Canada always turn on your show and used to be the hub in the evenings sitting in the race shop working on the cars and over the last few years definitely have watched your show become more legitimate and probably might go to news network for NASCAR

Eric don’t lie to us, we all know you’re the front runner for TNT

I’m glad we have you Eric! ❤

Dale Jr is so ready! I hope his team name will be good! Any suggestions what the team name Dale Jr will be?

Eric nailed it at the end. Grassroots marketing and digital media is king in 2024. Speaking from an objective place, these are the shows NASCAR should embrace. Out of the Groove, BR, house of Highlights, JOMBOY media channels, etc should be where NASCAR pushes for weekly content. Having more drivers on these appearances and more personalities on display/accessible on those platforms will be key to growth. Traditional media is great for the older demographics but increasingly quickly to sports bar and waiting room space eaters.

Great show today Eric . It's why I watch every episode every day . Keep it up bud !

I think NASCAR needs you to take over their stuff…if not the face at least the boss! They have to evolve with the times and they haven’t. Your content has and that’s why we tune in even at a daily rate.

One thing to remember about Allen Bestwick, I would love to see him back in a booth but right now, he is the voice of IMS, which he would have to leave if he goes anywhere. (Coke 600 on Amazon overlaps Indy 500, Brickyard 400 more than likely to TNT, but maybe he can go to TNT only if Brickyard goes to NBC; FS1 trucks and CW Xfinity is possible if he has a fill in for IMS duty)

Wow! I concur with you on all of your recommendations for next year’s new lineups…

i thought this, especially the second half of the video, was one of your most interesting and unique episodes.

I would LOVE to see Rick Allen go with Dale jr and Stevie and stay as a group. Junior has been very open about how much he loves working with those two. I could see Marty doing like pit road, secondary shooting spot (like Fox had the Hollywood hotel or NBC has the pit box), doing big interview specials to be played during the weekend, etc.

Love the videos! Thanks Eric!

Has Eric talked about the Elliot/Suárez incident yet or did I miss that somehow?

Pretty solid picks, Eric! Fox needs to get Rick Allen back as the play by play annoucer for the truck series! Nothing against Jamie Little, but she's at her best when she was a pit road reporter! But aside from that, the whole booth for the truck series needs an overhaul badly, maybe keep Phil Parsons in the booth, but other than that they need to make some major changes!

Here’s an idea. So ESPN does this thing for Monday night football and some other games where they have an alternate channel and you get to watch the game as well as the mannings. What if tnt and prime did that. It would be awesome to see Dale jr and whoever he’s with in a side by side next to the race

Love your podcast Eric!!

im down for Marty Smith he is awesome! I agree that Alan Bestwick should have a lead role somewhere. And yes Jamie Mac for xfinity seems like a good fit.

Here's my "shake up the board" call: Fox: Allen Bestwick, Kevin Harvick, Clint Bowyer NBC: Leigh Diffey, Jeff Burton, Kyle Petty Amazon WBD: Mike Joy, Dale Jr, Larry McReynolds, Marty Smith hosts pre and post race CW: Adam Alexander, Jamie McMurray

I clicked on this thinking that it had something to do with Dale Jr. and his potential cup series team. But I guess we are just talking broadcasting today.

I’ve heard rumors that maybe Carl Edward’s could go to TNT or Amazon prime.

I enjoy the money lap podcast with Parker Kligerman and Landon Casill (spelling?) and your KZread channel Eric!!

Great job Eric..this is my go to for pretty much all my NASCAR info now that race hub canceled..terrible call FOX.

This may be an odd question, but are there other NASCAR youtube shows you'd recommend? Yours is great but the more info I can get the better for me. Thanks.

I love the CW line up idea of Adam with the two Macs, perfect! But gawd, I hate the thought of having to listen to Burton and Petty. They're bad enough on their own but together? Puke.

Okay I know Rick Allen got off to a Rocky start at the beginning of his career but are we actually not gonna consider him for play by play on ANY of nascars series dude has been on fire the past couple of years I would hate to see him not be in the booth

@leftturnsmatter7555

He’s really been doing very well recently years

I completely agree about sponsorship. I get that they need to pay the bills but it has become so diluted from what sponsorship started as. Few drivers have that sponsorship identity and those that do generally aren't influencing anything. It's just a name. m&ms didn't need Kyle Busch to sell candy but it certainly helped attract young fans to the sport. Now KB doesn't have any specific sponsor that you can ID him with. I couldn't even tell you what are the major sponsors of the cup series let alone all the minor ones.

Sadly Larry isn’t leaving fox sports and even with less races for fox it’s but perfect for him!

2025 you could see Kurt Busch in the mix. He’s done tv before his injury and even the COTA race after his injury. I also believe his full contract is up at 23XI at the end of this year.

Allen Bestwick will be at Seekonk Speedway to commentate the Boston Louie Memorial race tomorrow. Wish he'd get a chance to get on T.V. again!

Love the Kyle Petty take. It doesn’t get much more genuine and authentic than that guy.

I’m not sure about giving Marty Smith the play by play duties, but if he’s in the booth with Jr and they grab Bestwick, that’s an elite team right there. Also have to wonder what FOX is planning to do their Indycar play by play. I’d like to think they go with someone with experience. Wonder if they try to bring in Leigh Diffey. I think FOX Indycar decision is important when it comes to getting all the nascar broadcasts set up

I agree with all your predictions except one. I think Allen Bestwick will be the lead play by play announcer with Dale Jr and Steve Letarte instead of Marty Smith.

7:12 The invisible Watch strikes back!!!! Jajajajajaj

Chad Knaus would be excellent in the booth. He’s done Nationwide/Xfinity races in the past.

Yes, on KZread and Most podcasts are genuine. If you don't like something you can say it however you want without worry that NASCAR or some big network coming down on you for saying something they Don't like. It's one of the many good and bad things about KZread and social media people can say whatever they want, however they want.

Mike Joy is the best in the business period!

What the hell happens to Rick Allen or Dillon Welch? Give those guys some love

I want the CW to continue the “cup drivers” tradition for at least part of the season. “The Penske Boys” Logano, Cindric, and Blaney are great.

As great as Junior is in the booth, I could see Amazon picking an even more bold commentator crew. They could pick up Eric Estepp as their play-by-play guy and bring some energy to the booth. Pair him with Danny B. as a strong color commentator who can really connect with the fans. Finally, lock it down with The Iceberg who seemingly has endless statistics and fun strategy facts at their fingertips. Seems like a very solid booth to me 😅

With Adam Alexander, in addition to him talking with the 3 new TV partners for NASCAR, Fox has also been negotiating with him on staying with them but moving over to their Indycar coverage (Fox just acquired Indycar from NBC a few weeks ago). This is because Leigh Diffey isn't moving to Fox due to his Olympic commitments for NBC. However If Adam Alexander joins one of the 3 new TV partners for NASCAR, Fox would likely bring back Bob Varsha for their Indycar coverage. Lastly (and this is related to F1) Sky Sports please get rid of Crofty & Brundle, they are terrible & ESPN should instead use their own commentators in Allen Bestwick, David Hobbs & Steve Matchett for F1.

Good move. Glad to be a prime member since the first grand tour season . Bring Clarkson, Hammond and May to some races in the booth and pit road commentary and British jokery and no one will be disappointed.
