It is easy to look at the sales volume of Ford and assume they are doing well but volume alone does not tell the story. What really needs to be known is the number of sales that are retail versus the number of sales made to Fleets, Municipalities and Rental Car Companies which are generally not...

I wonder if Nascar could ever end up on Netflix or another platform like that as the marriage could be ideal. With a pay service demographics and the number of viewers are essentially tossed out the window or at least I think they would be.

We have met the enemy and he is us. Walt Kelly/Pogo People have floated all sorts of excuses as to why Nascar is circling the bowl and the rotten economy was the go to reason for a long time but even the greatest of the apologists rarely uses that one today...

I am being sincere when I say I appreciate the contributions from everyone whether I agree with them or not. Goodnight and God bless.

I don't think of you as a jackass or the village idiot but just a guy that likes Nascar. When you say you have been keeping track of commercials you reference the race day thread and that people are not complaining. JMO but basing something on what 10 or 15 people say on an internet forum hardly...

The way I read it is that some members are giving factual information and others can't even compare the same event accurately.

In your opinion how many more minutes of green flag racing due to the implementation of stages? Would it be something like 30 seconds, 5 minutes or more? Interesting subject.

What you say seems totally logical however experience has shown me that even the most rudimentary of topics can completely take on a life of its own. So after all is said and done it seems that not a whole lot has changed much except they have reallocated when commercials are run, one set of...

I don't have any analysis as it is not something I thought of until this evening. I don't have any dog in the fight seeing I don't watch the races live but was intrigued by some of the claims made. I don't think I am allowed to say what those claims were and for that I apologize.

I appreciate your perspective and taking the time to respond. One of the issues brought up was more green flag racing being shown under the stage system as opposed the the phony debris period. Do you think green flag race coverage is more, less or negligible?

I have no agenda so if there are more commercials than before that is fine with me as all I care about is what the truth of the matter is. I thought this was all about Nascar showing more green flag racing since stages have been implemented?

I can't prove it but I think the stage breaks are always much closer to 10 minutes than 5. The reason is I normally deploy my 30 second advance button 20 times and it normally is just a hair long.

Thank you, gentlemen, for the info as the idea of stages coming into play in order to provide the fans at home with more green flag racing did not past the smell test but I could not be sure.

Why do the networks need to add more commercial time to race broadcasts? Is it because 30 second commercial time slots cost less than in previous years so more need to be sold to make up the shortfall? Something else entirely?

The ratings for the Leaf-B's game will be 100% in my domicile this evening. Wish I could get the HNIC broadcast.

Thanks for the link

Looking forward to the Leafs-Bruins game tonight and I would love it if Toronto prevailed. I see the B's have made a minor lineup change and no doubt Bruce Cassidy has put the fear of God into the team as no one wants to blow a series where you were up 3-1 and end up losing the pivotal game on...

Well said and I think your post hits several nails squarely on the head. Do you have any stats that show that stages give fans more race viewing time or is it something that is totally obvious or just a gut feeling? The reason I ask is I can't tell due to the use of the DVR. Another thing I...

I sure hope you are wrong about people thinking the WWE is real as the thought is nothing short of terrifying. Narrowly defined I thought this thread was about the lack of bogus cautions since the stages have been introduced and I completely agree with the premise as Nascar lost the bogus...

I can understand drivers lying about debris when they are on the track and need a caution but why lie in mid-week interviews? How does it benefit drivers to say that stages and the late great caution clock have taken the place of phony debris cautions?
