At the L.A. Coliseum during the NASCAR Busch Light Clash, Ross Chastain and Tyler Reddick collided on-track after the checkered flag.

However, it was not shown on TV, and this left fans disappointed with the coverage of Fox Sports. The fans took to social media to express their frustration with the NASCAR broadcast.

On X (formerly Twitter), fans expressed their ire about how the arrangement of the broadcast did not allow them to watch the most important moments. One fan said:

"wish we could have seen it live."

Another fan noted the irony of problems related to coverage on a small track, such as the Coliseum and said:

"You’d think with a track as small as the Coliseum that wouldn’t have missed so much but".

A third fan criticized the state of race production, blaming the filming crew:

"Dam wouldn't know. Was watching some dude not able to figure out what camera to select on . Saw some crew chiefs in the stands instead.. Terrible night for the crew besides the booth."

Here are some more fan reactions:

NASCAR fans showed their discontent after an on-track collision was not covered by the Fox Sports broadcast. They called for better quality and access to coverage of NASCAR events.
