Wait, Jerry Punch gone? isn't he a reporter for the indycar series on ABC/ESPN?
Btw can someone explain what ESPN on ABC (or) ABC on ESPN means, i heard it a lot during broadcasts, and what does it mean exactly? (I'm Dutch Btw, so i can't watch the American channels)

ESPN's entire crew and package, but it's broadcast on the ABC channel.

And was it sometimes broadcast on the other channel when it was possible? like when nascar and indycar where on the same time, 1 was on ABC with the ESPN crew, and the other on ESPN.
Right?

ESPN is a fuckin joke and deserve everything they get... Unfortunately there are some really dedicated, hard working individuals today who are getting what they don't deserve.

There's a reason why the only time I venture there is to grab a BeSweeet stream link or something similar like that.

Just because someone says something silly or immature doesn't make them autistic or a bastard, I'll thank you to keep that kind of stereotyping to yourself in the future.

Dale Jr had a fine career. He was also the type of personable southern racer that made the sport so intriguing to new fans, the type of person that the sport has pretty much moved away from in the last 15 years, much to its detriment.

Sad to see him go, but he picked the right time.

They tend to overreact to things that are insignificant. I've seen a post or two there where someone got pissed because a Sprint Cup logo was still visible at a track in 2017.

Is ESPN even still a channel? I haven't watched it in years.

I'd have kept Jerry Punch for life, just for saving Rusty Wallace's life, once.

Hopefully Fox or NBC picks him up. He might be a very boring play by play guy but the dude is great on pit road and anchoring a pre race show.
