Many visitors to forums and blogs such as The Daly Planet complained that the coverage seen on ESPN and its related networks between 2007 and 2014 were not up to the standards set by the earlier version of network coverage. Their biggest complaints were excessive commercials, bored announcers, abuse of production technology, and language that seemed to talk down to them. Many said that they had found alternate means of racing coverage, including "NASCAR Hot Pass", radio broadcasts, the magazine "NASCAR Illustrated" and the NASCAR website. Some were even looking forward to the return of "NASCAR on Fox", despite the gimmicks inherent to that portion of the racing season.
