Love 11:00 Monday re-starts. Good start to the season, love the 3:18 make it 3:30 make it oh it rains late afternoon in Florida start time. So much fail.
This is why NASCAR will not recover for a long time if ever. What absolute moron doesn't run this race at 1?
I don’t think there’s going to be a race tomorrow (trying to remain optimistic)
I guarantee that Fox is the primary 'stakeholder' behind the late afternoon start time. Any other network would choose the same. In TV world, it is accepted fact that a sporting event that starts at 3:00-4:00 PM ET will attract larger national viewership than 1:00 PM. That's how they think, and broadly it is true.
Small chance of rain until 3pm local time. 0% after thatWhat's the forecast looking like tomorrow?
It's a holiday tomorrow in Canada.. hahah we get the day off paid. Nooo problemo here! Hehe
We will DVR and watch after dinner.
Perhaps NASCAR looked at the weather forecast and, seeing a chance of rain up until 3PM, decided to wait until 4.
This is not the rainy season in a Florida. Yes systems do form, but the late PM showers cycle are common from May through October.
Where were your thoughts on the other 3 oclock starts? Just another "fan" thinking they can change the weather.Yep. I'm sure several hours of Michael Waltrip ass clownery and more driver interviews is better for viewing audiences than a 1 pm start.
BTW, The late Florida rain storms are mostly during the summer months and this storm wasnt a "pop" up shower.Love 11:00 Monday re-starts. Good start to the season, love the 3:18 make it 3:30 make it oh it rains late afternoon in Florida start time. So much fail.
Looking like a sick day for me @ EB...!!!My basement with a roaring fire in the wood stove, a bucket of fried chicken, lots of beer, as the sun sets over the New England countryside.
NASCAR sets the dates, TV sets the times. The broadcast rights revenue generates more money for all concerned than the fans at the track spend. I don't know why some folks have trouble accepting the economic realities.NASCAR had NO control over when to start the race tomorrow!! Fox told them "you have to start at 4 and be finished by 8". Enough with blaming NASCAR for race times when their TV partners are the ones making those calls
Haha ! Good one !When’s the race?
[/QUOTE]I'm going to be driving. I've got two options. I could stream the race to my phone, having it out of view, or search the terrestrial dial for MRN affiliates along my route. I'd rather listen to the MRN feed but affiliates are lacking these days. Anyone know of a YouTube channel that broadcasts the MRN feed?
Most daytime schedules are syndicated programming. On our Fox affiliate, it’s just pre-empting a few episodes of Judge Judy, Jeopardy, and a couple reruns of The Big Bang Theory.I wonder if the networks are bellayching about needing to change their lineup in the afternoon to accommodate this
