Musburger To Call NASCAR
Monday, January 22, 2007
Again with the NASCAR?!?!?! Yeah....sorry about that, but I find their Marketing Machine absolutely amazing (and Kasey Kahne Dreamy...mmmmm). This is probably old news, but I had no idea that Brent Musburger was going to be the lead guy in the booth for ESPN/ABC's coverage.
Seriously....Disney....the guy can't call football and he's been trying for like 60 years. Ah well....it's your ass.....what's left of it.
Quotes from Musburger via KansasCity.com
- "I’m looking forward to it on a number of levels."
- "There are a lot of angles that fascinate me. The color, the sound, the fury."
- "There is nothing like the sound of the start. Forty-three cars screaming around the corner. It’s like the apocalypse is now. You think the world is about to come to an end. There’s nothing like it."
- "The fan part will be great. This is not an elitist crowd. I’ve had a few beers with that demographic."

"You are looking LIVE at the same four cars turning left for the third straight hour."
wonder how he'll figure out a way to use the word "youngsters" during each race? Will it be something like, "a lot of redneck youngsters out at the track today folks"
Nascar, like all sport, is a soap opera. It's not just the drive fast, turn left story...it's all the side shows too.
PS- It's never too late to join the Nascar nation!
Back to Irv Cross in the studio.
Brent isn't going to be in the booth, he'll just be the pre-race host.
"A few beers with the demographic" is the line there....
