Chase and Truex have to return tomorrow to run 250 more laps knowingly 30+ laps down.

Ouch.

Watched a recording of Indy at Phoenix a couple of weeks ago. Same conclusion. I realized anew how much screen real estate the left-side ticker occupies.

I despise the left side ticker. While it is more effective than the old one, it is enormous. It effectively reduces my 65” widescreen to a 53” 4/3 aspect TV. Hopeful NBC recognizes this and stands apart.

Adding to this, I find for me, that my eyes want to focus on it more , its distracting to my eyes
 
I was saying instead of having those terrible honkers destroy the anthem, they should let a high school band do it and let them and their parents in for free. Then I thought let the whole high school in free with a school ID. Local high schools would love a deal like that.

Watching IndyCar at Long Beach on the DVR now. This telecast makes Fox look like a cartoon.

I agree. I said this before, I think Fox uses the local technical school for production. Even today the announcers are talking about a race for the lead and the cameras were on the 3rd place car just cruisen.

Hooooo baby, thankful my job lets me watch tv on my dual monitors lol
 
One thing I don't want to see get lost in all the doom and gloom is how much I am enjoying this race as it is more than making up for the dull Martinsville date of a few weeks ago. I can't remember the last time I have liked a race so well but it has been over a year ago so it is nice to get a reminder of what you liked about something. To be clear I am not saying the racing is good or bad simply that I am very happy with what I have seen.
 
Not to bum anyone out but this looks to be a mirror image of what martinsville was. Cold and the drivers phoning it in.

Hope Im wrong.
