The GOOD, The BAD, and The UGLY of NASCAR On FOX In 2025

Another year, another round of disappointment. NASCAR on Fox once again stumbles through its broadcast season, delivering the same frustrating coverage fans have come to expect, just wrapped in a slightly different mess. While there were some bright spots, most viewers were left with the same question: How is this still happening?

• Why did the shortened schedule feel like a blessing more than a setback?
• Can the pit crew spotlight segment survive into 2026, or will it be axed like other rare improvements?
• Are we finally done pretending fans are okay with endless commercial breaks and outdated direction?
• What happened in the booth that made Talladega’s finish one of the worst-run broadcasts ever?

Iceberg believes that, despite some genuine attempts at innovation, like side-by-side ads and a shorter season window, the weight of dated production, over-scripted segments, and booth dysfunction kept dragging the product down. The lack of chemistry and poor flow between analysts like Bowyer and Harvick were especially glaring, undermining what should’ve been a strength. With the longtime director out, maybe there’s hope. But until we see actual change, NASCAR on Fox remains stuck in reverse.
