NASCAR Suspends Use Of Overhead Cable Cams for TV

Which is completely understandable after what went down at Charlotte...
((HT: FOX Sports/NASCAR))


So, with the four-letter starting their NASCAR coverage next weekend- for the doo-ration... NASCAR has "consulted" with their broadcast partners and are telling them all (until further notice) that there will be no cable cam on a track until further notice...

Press releases...
Demonstrate...

"We have an excellent working relationship with NASCAR and totally understand their position," said Rich Feinberg, ESPN's vice president of motorsports production. "We look forward to beginning our NASCAR Sprint Cup schedule at Indianapolis and televising 17 great weeks of racing."

As if ESPN would say something else because of this...

"The safety of our competitors and our fans remains NASCAR's number one priority," NASCAR's statement said. "And until total evaluation and analysis have been completed, usage of this particular technology enhancement and any similar enhancements has been suspended."

To be honest, the cable cam hasn't been missed all that much the past few weeks...
Just expect more ground-level angles for the balance of the season...
