First off, if you like/love NASCAR, 1) you might not want to stick around laugh out loud , and 2) my condolences. Stick Out Tongue

1st race of the season, and I already can't stand this. Ugh. Didn't start out well either. The guy who normally runs the board for the races needed to be off tonight, so I gotta sit here and listen to this crap. And not only is he off, he told me the wrong time that it started. He told me 7:45pm, and it was 7:15pm, so I happened to check it at 7:30, and there's nothing playing. Wonderful. Jump in, and I have no idea where I am in the show. Talk about a farking train wreck.

Fark NASCAR. Mad Ranting

If you hate NASCAR, enjoy this thread with me.

Again, if you like NASCAR, this probably isn't the thread for you as I won't be shy about talking crap about it. laugh out loud

zmarko, you should be glad as hell this is an abnormal Talladega race or you'd be working for another hour.

Since 1998, I've seen only about 1-2 races that were as fast as today's race at Dega.

Facepalm

Only NASCAR could figure out how to get a wrecker stuck in the grass.

This is almost as embarrassing as Daytona's ARCA race in 2008. The ambulance got stuck in the mud and was transporting a guy out of the track for evaluation... They were there for almost 10 minutes just spinning tires.

No. We only carry MRN races. Hmmm, maybe the other one is MRN too...I dunno...don't care actually. laugh out loud All I know is we're just carrying Talladega.
The other race was an MRN race, but if I'm not mistaken it was the truck race or something? I dunno, I just know we weren't carrying both....just the first one. laugh out loud

It's a radio station, the country station in my cluster carries the races (Sprint series I think) and I run the control board for the broadcast.

do you announce or do you just have to listen to it? I don't quite understand how this works.

Just have to listen to it. I'm on at the same time on our rock station, but I pre-record that.
