I’m sorry, but Dillner is really bad at announcing.

James Essex is fair from the best. Good maybe even great but not the best. He's a blowhard.

Uncle Bob sure beats Douchebag Ben. All he knows is how to impress him self rattling off sponsor names and pointing out the obvious. I'll bet he practices in the mirror every day after he spends an hour doing his hair trying to make himself look 4" taller. 

I think all 3 of them are doing a great job! I've really enjoyed the coverage this week.

I always thought it was Lucas Oil, not Lucas Earl.....Also his name is Ross Bailes (like in hay) not Biles....

I have heard way worse in my day. Personally I have enjoyed watching all week and think the three of them make a good team. Just be happy we have MavTV Plus. I think the nitpicking is not necessary, but that is my opinion.

Could always be worse.........Wesley Autland could be announcing.

I agree, Dillner is not all that good as an announcer. Essex seems to know what he's talking about but his style is very annoying. We've watched every minute of every night this week and both Dillner and Essex had worn very thin by Tuesday night. The only saving grace of the broadcast team is Argabright. He's not the greatest but he's much better than Dillner and Essex at what he does.

I see it this way....people have opinions on every announcer, no matter what sport. James is legendary, yet some don't like him. Dave is a Hall of Famer. Dillner has a his style. If Rich Eshelman and Rubin were calling these races, people would probably be complaining. Some hated Hall of Famer Darrell Waltrip, yet he brought so much passion. Some probably don't like Mike Joy. Some don't like Fox. Some don't like NBC. I'm not complaining this week....I like all their styles. Plus I've watched it all for free.

Essex and DJ are the best in the business IMO. A few mediocre announcers and then you have Dillner. As much as Lucas oil is putting into these broadcast, you’d think they would get someone up there that was half way knowledgeable about the DLM world.

Like many things in life what we find pleasantly palatable is in the eye/ear of the beholder. I'm personally not a fan of screamers or guys like Essex who use inflections in an attempt to spice up the play by play call. Essex isn't nearly as bad as he used to be but he still uses some verbal inflections as his style. Some like it, some don't, some merely tolerate it.

As I've posted here in the past, the best track/live video announcer I've ever heard, and I've heard a few, is Scott Daloisio who does the track announcing and the Floracing broadcasts at Perris Auto Speedway. He solidly knows his stuff and his style doesn't need the screaming or the over accentuated down speak. Scott could have had a national gig in racing broadcasts more than once but has a lucrative day job and doesn't like extensive traveling.

I dont mind them too much. Eshelman isn't too bad either besides him trying to act more like an official than announcer at times. (Always explaining the rules and taking up for calls the jacka$$ officials make) My personal favorite was Bret Emrick.. https://uponthewheel.wordpress.com/2...h-bret-emrick/

I don’t like Dillner but grateful for the free broadcasts. I actually liked the announcer on Flo last week that called the mods at East Bay. Anyone know who that was?

Yup, Scott is top notch.

Did the announcer just say that for over 20 years EPJ and Earl Pearson Jr have been together? Or am I hearing things?

Nope.... Dillner being Dillner
