Fantasy NASCAR Racing

regained NASCAR broadcast rights beginning with the 2015 season, Flood knew he wanted that same driver in his broadcast booth.  Moving into the broadcast booth hasn't muzzled Burton on how he thinks things in NASCAR are ran and what changes need to be made.  In 2017 NASCAR started awarding points for stage wins.  Burton took issue with a win being called "encumbered" and a driver not being disqualified.  Jeff Burton delivered a fiery argument on why the rule isn’t helping anyone. Burton stated, "I think it’s time to start disqualifying people.  I think it’s time.  In today’s world where Denny Hamlin won that race, and by him winning that race, that kept someone else from winning the race.  No one got those five points moving into the playoffs.  It’s time to disqualify people.  It’s time to say, you know what?  If you’re illegal, here’s the rules.  If you like the rules or not, that’s not the question.  These are the rules that’s written.  You write the rules, you were found to break the rules and it’s not a mistake.  It 100 percent happened. And even if it is a mistake, you have to be responsible for them.  It’s time to start taking wins away.  It’s time to give the points to the person that won the race.” Burton's broadcast philosophy is simple - "I think you've just got to tell the truth," he said.  "What I've learned throughout the years is, you can say almost anything you want to say, it's just how you say it.  You have to say it correctly, and you have to be educated about it.  Make sure you understand what you're talking about before you talk about it.  And if you don't know, say you don't know.  It's OK to tell the truth.  I've thought a lot about it.  What if Matt Kenseth, who's a friend of mine, spins somebody out?  What am I going to say? Well, I'm going to say, 'Matt Kenseth spun him out.'  Added Flood: "He's not going to get along with everyone on race day.  He's going to have disagreements on strategy and what's happening down on pit road, and that's all part of it -- seeing all different sides of the race day and the race experience."
