Is there a bunch of rookies on here or do you just HAVE to have something to complain about concerning Kyle? The cameras have helped out drivers numerous times over the years and YES, sometimes they actually ASK the cameras to zoom in on the grill. Pretty lame trying to make it sound like ONLY Kyle gets the chance to do that. Every driver/crew chief can ask for that help.

Is this the best you can do in the -anyone by Kyle Busch camp? We see the camera’s zoom in on the grills all the time we just don’t always hear the background to it, like if a team or reporter asks the cam dude to zoom in. Big deal.

Next time we see a cam shot of someone’s grill with junk on it I want to this same writer complaining about it.

I’d comment if I could read it. Ads by Google in the middle of it, no way to close them. Tell Google where to put their ads

Webmaster note: Sorry for the Google ads, but they help pay the bills.

lol @ Nascar infant. I’ve been a fan since my high school days before it was consistantly televised, I listened on the radio. I just became a “fanatic” after we lost Big E.
I have heard pit reports say many times that crews were requesting TV shots so that they could check out fenders, tires, etc. It used to be that your teammate or a buddy on track would have to drive up beside ya to scope out the damage. Now a days, they just ask one of their pit reporter friends to relay the message to the camera guys. I’ve heard that lots of times.

I really doubt that they did that *specially* for KB. Michael Waltrip is a Toyota fanboy (as is DW) but this has been standard practice for years, on TV broadcasts. They showed a closeup of Crafton’s fender, I’m sure that his crew used that to see how bad it was.

The only reason little scrub got the assist is because he’s competitive pretty much week in, week out. Guaranteed the same thing happens every race to those outside the top 20, but they only get camera time when they bring out the caution for their overheating truck limping down the back stretch. Would the network assist them as well… doubt it. Follow the $$$.
