TNT/NASCAR
TNT started its six race broadcast run for NASCAR on Sunday, and despite the rain, the broadcast shined.
Turner Sports had plenty of features set up for the more than 3 hours of rain delay, including one with Kyle Petty interviewing the great David Pearson. It was fun and well done by the novice announcer in Petty.
After that, TNT put Richard Petty on talking with his son, and the King put nice touches on the finish of the feature. It shows the great history that NASCAR has.
Fox Sports makes itself a tough act to follow, but TNT did well in its first time out, hiring Larry McReynolds as an analyst was a good call, too.
Can ESPN/ABC take the handoff and run with it in seven weeks? It won't be easy.
