Is coverage getting worse?

First, congrats to Biffle for the win.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the coverage is getting worse, if you're not running in the top ten or one of the commentators picks for the race, it's hard to get information on what's going on with drivers throughout the race, unless they wreck.

Take Newman for example, he was running near the front, not up front, when he had to pit early for a tire going down.  That was mentioned and then he was caught a lap down when caution came out due to that early green flag stop.  Then even mentioned it when he got the lap back, after that was when it became confusing.  I noticed by running order he was still running near the tail of the field, they mentioned an overheating problem, OK.  Next thing I know, he's even further down, getting his lap back again, I don't remember a mention of why he was a lap down again though.  I read this morning that he got a speeding penalty on pit road, which put him a lap down, that makes sense.

Yes, I may be complaining about them not covering Newman, but what about all the others that weren't mentioned?  What about their fans?  How much was mentioned about Jeff Burton, Dale Jarrett, Bobby Labonte, Jeremy Mayfield, etc?  It's not fair to their fans to not cover their drivers, just because they aren't running up front.  Why not do a through the field, every once in a while to cover where the other drivers are and what their problems may be?
