One of my favorite things to do was to watch all of the practices to get hyped up for the season. This is really disappointing, though I wouldn't be surprised if nascar.com streams it, albeit with no announcers.
This article is kind of misleading (not surprised coming from Bromberg) considering ratings were way up in 2015 because of Gordon's last race. In fact, 2015 had the highest rating since 2005.
