You are an amazing source for info !!!!!!!! Not too many true NASCAR fans like you are around here.
Montoya will do well today, I agree. He will finish just behind Harvick :)

Too bad you didn't hang in until the end. It was actually a real race! 17 & 48 were doing some EXCELLENT driving at the end.

Yeah, I saw the end. Heckuva finish!

I'm glad there were two cars in the race (24 & 48). ESPN is getting worse and worse as their reign of TERROR rolls on.

Everytime I turned on the race, they were either showing "Draft Track," "Tech Center," commercials or had a split screen of the 24 and 48 cars. Absolutely ridiculous. Their Busch and Cup coverage was AWFUL.

Please, no more ESPN. :bawl:

We definately agree on ESPN. Biffles car is rolling in flames and they cut away to JJ riding around the track under caution. :duh:

I hate how I'm always hunting for a channel... one week it's on Fox, the next it's on ESPN2, this week it was ABC... :shrug: Why do they do that?? Yeah, I COULD look at the website and find it... but....

In an effort to be fair (read make mo money) NASCAR split the rights over the major networks. I think NBC and CBS didn't get a cut.

TV contract. NBC opted out and ESPN was a high bidder. TNT has the Summer Series (the 4 worst races of the year, Daytona and Sonoma).

I'm sick of having to flip channels because ESPN doesn't put the races on at their scheduled time. Yeah, I understand; it's football. At the least, delay the ####ing race.

I'm tired and fed up with their chit to the point that I'm not watching these races start to finish anymore. This is the first time I've watched a football game over a race two straight weeks.

Busch Series got a good deal. Every race is on ESPN2 or ABC.

Problem is ESPN doesn't stick to anything and will flip that race off in no time for a Barry Bonds home run being shown on ESPN as it is.
