The water is just about an inch or two from the ceiling at this moment because FOX simply isn’t cutting it, literally and figuratively. For some time now, NASCAR fans have been critical of FOX’s broadcasting. However, it seems now the patience has just about run out on all ends. This is because now, not only fans are voicing their disapproval, even well-known names like Denny Hamlin are.
Journalist Jenna Fryer tweeted out her frustrations with the broadcasting during the recent dirt race at the Bristol Motor Speedway. “Listen, it’s a problem for a sport if you need an explainer that long to tell the viewer what’s going on with the scoring,” she wrote.
“Over a 1 min explanation. Ppl in the sport don’t even know. What’s wrong with this picture. As a fan sitting on my ass right now watching, it’s hard to take this seriously,” an equally frustrated Denny Hamlin replied.

Former NASCAR driver points out the glaring thing for Denny Hamlin
In an interview after the race at Martinsville, former NASCAR driver Kyle Petty spoke about the thing Denny Hamlin of all Joe Gibbs Racing drivers should be concerned about.
He said, “I think it’s glaring to Denny Hamlin because A.) He wins one week & B.) His quote is, ‘We’re a top team and we can’t run in the Top 30, What the f**k is going on here?’”
Kyle Petty believes it’s sad to see a team win and then follow that win with a result like Hamlin’s at Martinsville. What makes it worse, though, is the fact that they’re not facing any mechanical problems. They can’t point their finger at something.

The truth is, they’re simply not fast enough.
So only time will tell, whether or not FOX’s broadcasting and the shape of Denny Hamlin’s season goes up. Because right now they’re not very pretty.

And if they do remain the same, both could very well be replaced for the better.
