Not being a Nascar fan, I wonder if Jimmy Johnson and Dale jr. are rambling idiots, or is whoever puts the commercials for their shows together trying to make them look like this.
The commercials always seem to be a disconnected, rambling narrative that gets cut off in the middle.

Is their producer a 40 year old, single, African American man, that wears all black every day and faints when put under pressure?

It's hard to explain. They have all these booths. Yeah, like 140 booths. All decorated like the particular station.
Makes me want to tune in and get some more of that scintillating conversation.

EXACTLY!! Oh jeezus, the way he says "booths" is a black mark on the face of all America.
And a complete paraphrase of the latest rambling Jimmy Johnson one:
"And the havin this show is good for me cuz people think I'm PC and vanilla and can really do stuff with the show and it's been great for Junior to do stuff that whatits whosits and wind ding dingaling ahooga ahooga yiyiyiyi oompity oomp and I understand that, but..."

I'm struck the same way by those commercials. If the most compelling moments of the shows end up in those promos, that's a sad state of affairs.

I am a huge JR fan and the show is not bad(not great) but the Commercials suck. They make no since.

Dale: "i got to shoot one of them rap videos of Jay-z."
other guy: "how was it?"
Dale: "um, yeah."
i hate these commercials more than the Dylan and Petty ones.

Let's face it: XM just has really bad commercials.

Do R&F have commercials on other XM channels?

I heard a spot for R&F on either CNN or Fox News a whiles back.

Well, since Dale talks very little about NASCAR during his show, his commercials usually don't have any NASCAR stuff in them.

Ya, I've heard an RF commercial on one of the comedy channels and a few others as well. Its pretty much the same promos we hear on 202 just with a station ID.

Wait until the "they love to breathe!" theme of the next series of spots!

"I'm going to get me one of thoise Saduku books" has been running for months it seems.
All the R and F promos on other XM channels sound like someone randomly took 15 sec out of the show and put it on. Why not run one of Ron's political rants on Air America or sports-related bits on the sports channels?

On a similar note, if we find out that a single rf.netter has purchased one of those fucking awnings, blood must be spilled.

I'll bet they could put together an awesome promo for R&F from the "Little Elvis" bit to run on the XL channels.

Now I'm gonna have Ron drawl-yelling "Elvis!!!!!" echoing through my head all day.

The only reason that they quote those guys so much and run all of those ads is because they want xm subscribers to forget about the fact that there is no NASCAR on XM. Sirius has the rights to all of the races. Channel 144 used to be called NASCAR now its something else.
Smoke and mirrors for the hayseeds, my friends!
Love,

Channel 144 is now XM Sports Nation.
Channel 145 now does live IRL racing coverage instead of live NASCAR coverage.
