Dear God. "Digger cam" was mildly amusing last season. Now there's the digger cartoons, digger merchandise, a big digger mascot at the races hammin' it up with the fans. Anyone got contact info for Fox Sports?
This part of NASCAR is a serious turn off for me. This camera itself is pretty sweet...but naming a camera just to be able to sell stuffed toys to kids when dad takes them to the race is greasy. No real value added to the racing or to the viewing, just marketing. Same idea with the drivers spewing s**t about their 80 sponsors whenever there s a camera near and making sure their 'drink of choice' is oriented the right way in their hand during an interview. Just freaking race. N.
I like the camera view at times, but I do NOT need to see the animation every single time they go to that shot. They spend more time showing the critter than they do the cars going by. Balance people...balance.
