VIdeo Critique of the NASCAR Race from Richmond


NASCAR is a sport that involved 43 racers racing around a track. This video was about Sunday’s race from Richmond International Raceway. The video was shown Monday morning on ESPN’s Sportscenter. 
Two people were analyzing the highlight. One of the analysts was Ricky Craven. He is a retired NASCAR driver. This was very beneficial because he has vast knowledge of the sport and was about to go in-depth about why certain things happened during the race. The video was a short 2 minutes and 4 seconds, but they showed all the important events that were going on during the race.  Craven was able to explain events that the average viewer didn’t understand. 
With NASCAR not being that popular, they were able to explain everything in detail. The video had many highlights and was very clear explaining what was going on during the race. Sportscenter displayed captions on who was who and where they were at when something happened. It’s hard to explain everything that happens in a race, but both analysts were able to explain situations.  
The only issue with the video story was at the end of the video; they didn’t show an accident that they were talking about so people couldn’t connect with what was being said. Sportscenter does a great job with video stories and this one was no different.
