2020 Daytona 500 Pre-Race Thread

When are they going green? Shortly after 4?

I know it's the day after, but I would still expect 30 minutes of pre-race stuff. Even FS1 and FS2 have nothing right now. They would rather show an XFL replay, or a sports show with fake journalist hot take clowns yelling at each other.

4:05 I heard. No fluff crap.

Lap 20. The rain was coincidental.

That is what I thought, thank you Charlie.

Rain delays usually don't have any pre-race coverage or ceremonies. They want to start and get out of there.

That's good, but I would rather be watching something, ANYTHING from Daytona right now, not Judge Mathis or Skip & Shannon

They usually start the broadcast during the warm up laps at a postponed race

Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra are on TCM.

So, it was looking good ratings wise, it was up from last year.

Yes, I just figure a half hour of coverage from Daytona would attract more eyeballs than an XFL rerun, but what do I know

Got a new TV and soundbar last week, the wife wont be home for few hours, oh yeah, I am cranking it up!

The XFL rerun is already paid for. Live pre-race coverage would have to cost new money. Besides, the advertisers already paid to be in the XFL repeat.
