So Long Farewell TNT NASCAR

Today was the last broadcast of NASCAR on TNT and as usual, the hit the bottom of broadcasting excellence.
The mayhem started when the green flag at the beginning of the race and instead of seeing the cars take off and take the green flag, TNT treated us the back of people's heads at the back of the grandstand.
Their pit coverage was pathetic. It was comical when Kyle Busch blasted the interviewer for asking if Dale Jr. was responsible for Busch blowing a tire.
The pre race was poor, especially the female reporter who was reading off of a script and she was reading like a middle school kid reads a report in front of their class.
The announcers, cameramen and director had no clue about the yellows they had when they weren't at commercial.
I will give them credit for the excellent picture they had of Busch hitting the wall from a camera on Dale Jr's car- that was very good.
But that was the only highlight of the broadcast. in fact, I think TNT knew they stunk because the TNT cut to their TV schedule only after about 10 minutes of post race coverage.
So, in honor of TNT last NASCAR race this year:
