you should have titled it, driver2crew & nascar officials channel for the aaron's 499. there for a moment i was thinkin, why in the heck is he posting this when you've never posted it before. lol

 

[riskybzns]

i wish they would do away with the weekly stewart channel, but i bet nascar gave him his own dedicated channel since he had a show with sirius.

I have a scanner and listen to MRN when I go to the track. Can you listen to the Officials Channel on the scanner? I've never seen it on the channel line up. I've heard the television broadcast on the scanner, too...

Nascar Official's channel might be intereresting.

I guess this new Officials Channel will cause David Hoots to become a big celebrity...."Put it out!"

I listened to the officials on the Sprint Fanview at Bristol and it sounded like someone working at an airport in the control tower. Not that interesting I thought

Semi, you can go by the scanner rental trailers and ask for an updated list and it will have "race control" or "Officials" listed. I think they are $1, WHEN they actually charge for them. Most of the time they never charge. Its interesting at times, I heard them chewing Kyle Petty's official azz and told him to "make sure he understands that he doesnt HAVE to participate, he could be parked"! I dont remember what they were pissed about, but it was funny.

When I get a program, it usually comes with a list of scanner frequencies, but I've never noticed a Race Control or Officials Channel...:right:

I'll check it out next time...

I listen to the official channel from time to time on raceview.....usually go there if something "interesting" happens during the raceointer:

 

[dpkimmel2001]

The channels that I gave you above are all that you'll ever need for the officials channels. They haven't changed in many years. Drivers channels seldom change as well unless they change cars. The frequency stays with the car, not the driver.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Did anyone even bother listening to this channel?

 

[eddiepritchett]

it was neat.

With trackpass/raceview, I use one to listen to Kenseth's radio, and another to listen to the officials channel at the same time. I find the officials channel very interesting to listen to. One of the best reasons to listen to the officials channel is because there are no more "mystery debris" cautions because you get to hear the officials say what driver is reporting debris and what kind of debris the officials around the track report seeing.

That's exactly what I do, except substitute Jr. for Kenseth. I like to have both of them on at the same time. I don't have that option when I go to a race but at home it adds to the racing experience.

Side note...... Those spotters sure earn their money @ Talladega/Daytona. What a huge difference there is between calling those races and the rest of them. They don't get the credit they deserve.

you are a user of so little words.
