Bonehead of the week: Loudon

total race time is total broadcast time and that is the number of commercials they counted. I am figuring commercials during the actual race, in other words how much of the actual race was missed because of commercial breaks. Two different things

No, no, no. You are wrong about EVERYTHING.

Total race broadcast time: 132

132 minutes of racing shown.

Total commercial broadcast time: 59
59 minutes of commercials shown.

From that Jayski page:

Total number of commercials: 133

You aren't right about anything.

There were 132 minutes of racing shown.
There were 59 minutes of commercials shown.
There were 133 total commercials shown.
 
Total race brdcst time 132 Total comm. brdcst time 59..... this is sniped from Jayski that makes it 44.9% or 45% of the race broadcast. And then there is this:
Total number of brief promos of products/services during the race broadcast: 48
Total amount of time these brief promos take during broadcast: app. 4 min. 50 sec.

so add 5 minutes to 59 and get 64 minutes for a grand total of...drum roll...48%
Click to expand...
64 out of 191 is 33%.

We're just going in circles and you're missing the fundamental concepts here.

Total race broadcast time: 132

132 minutes of racing shown.

Total commercial broadcast time: 59

59 minutes of commercials shown.

132 + 59 = 191 total minutes of race coverage

The "race" was on for 191 minutes.
132 minutes of that was racing.
59 minutes of that was commercials.

You divide 59 by (132+59) to get what percentage of the race was commercials. Frankly, I'm shocked you don't understand this yet.

The difference between these two times:

Start time to record race/commercial periods: 7:22 PM
End time to record race/commercial periods: 10:33 PM

Is NOT 132 minutes. Are you this stupid or are you just putting on a show for the message board?

If you watch the lane lines from Joeys in-car, you can see him come down before the contact. He wasn't clear, but expected Morgan to slow down even more??

That's the only video I've seen of the incident and, IMO, likely doesn't tell the whole story but I agree with your assessment, based on the available evidence.

If anyone knows of more video, please post a link.

So, you don't think a driver should take some caution and drive smarter when they are passing a slower car that they don't need to race that hard against? I'm not saying Joey caused that wreck...but, i think with a little more patience he could have avoided it and ended up with a pretty good finish. Joey is a pretty good driver and i like him, but i still think he has some learning to do. That being said...the Fords are running strong and i think Joey's next win is coming soon.:)
 
you see it every weekend, back markers spinning out all by themselves or two of them getting tangled up in a corner, we know who they are. they can be counted on to wreck almost every week. So why do you want to cut one going into a corner to keep YOUR line. well now you know why you don't want to do that. Sometimes it is better to slow down to win

Morgan may have wrecked Joey, Tony wrecked the whole field....................... s*it happens. Joeys interview was top notch, not mentioning Morgans age was quite respectful IMO

Joey handled it alot better than I would have in that situation!

Here ya go dude calm down, here is something to look at. This years race and last years race commercial time comparison and the reason so many of us were complaining about it, they mugged us this year compared to last.

This year:
Total minutes of complete race broadcast: 191
Minutes of race broadcast: 132
Minutes of traditional commercials (not split-screen): 59
Last year:
Total minutes of complete race broadcast: 207
Minutes of race broadcast: 151
Minutes of traditional commercials (not split-screen): 56

20 minutes less racing this year and they crammed in more commercials. Total commercials for the whole shebang: this year: 133...Last year 121...12 more..Brief promos? 48 to 32. and last year was already a commercial fest on TNT

So, you were wrong and you're trying to change the conversation? You ****** up the percentages, admit you were wrong and take your lumps like a man.

told ya way back there that I adjusted the commercial time because I figured it myself independently of Jayski or anybody else, then later I used their printed numbers to figure it, and the latest I took the numbers from where Jayski got them to show that the commercials increased a whole lot from even last year and I left the math completely out of it for the most part. Don't know what you are jumping up and down about, it isn't worth getting all jacked up about. Point is there were way more than 30% believe it or not.

Well I do think anyone could have avoided it.. but I also think if anyone else were outside of the 33 on that lap in that turn they would have had the same fate.

We are all going to get old and old people dont need to be made fun of by youngsters, its hurtful at best IMO
I commend Joey for his careful choice of words in his interview, maybe he has a grandma or grandpa that he has respect for maybe he is just a respectful young man in general, whatever the reason he did good

Might as well throw in Gordon for running out of gas and turning a good finish into a bad one. But he is still on top of the standings.

Absolutely not. The Klingonites who picked Jeff for the Yahoo Fantasy league lost a lot of points as a result. I am guessing that I gained about 50 poimts on the single event alone.

Special thanks to Nascar for the wave arounds and lucky dogs The field was already artificially compressed, thereby regulating Gordon futher back.

If I was going to give anyone an (Aarons, servicemaster, goodies, prepeationH, CocaCola, AAA, fastnell, dewalt, Husky, STP etc) bonehead award it would have to be for the speedy wrecker that kept him on the lead lap. It probably speeded on pit road
 
Joey cut down on the turn and didn't even come close to using the apex where there was plenty room to run. I'm not blaming Joey but he should have given himself more room in case Shep lost it, and he did. Once you enter no mans land all bets are off, expensive lesson for Joey but one he'll not soon forget.

Yes it does (I assume you had to look that one up)
I also have a Sansui AU-999 amp that my son has decided to use due to the fact that the new amps seem to be rather un-reliable. The old Sansui is bullet proof it seems
 
NHMS GM Jerry Gappens arrested


MANCHESTER, N.H. -- The executive vice president and general manager of New Hampshire Motor Speedway has been arrested on a misdemeanor charge of lewdness after police say they observed him and a 19-year-old woman in a parked car in Manchester.

Police said in a news release Thursday that officers were monitoring illicit activities on Jan. 21 when they saw a woman get into the passenger side of an SUV. They followed it into a parking lot. Arrested were 53-year-old Jerry Gappens and Kendra Johnson; it wasn't clear if the two had met before.

New Hampshire law says a person is guilty of the misdemeanor "if such person fornicates, exposes his or her genitals, or performs any other act of gross lewdness under circumstances which he or she should know will likely cause affront or alarm."

Gappens' lawyer, Tom Reid, said Gappens acknowledges using poor judgment resulting in the charge that is "embarrassing and devastating to him and his family."

Reid said while Gappens made a bad decision, he didn't, in Reid's opinion, engage in conduct violating the statute.

It wasn't known whether Johnson had a lawyer.

The speedway in Loudon is a stop for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in July and the Sylvania 300 in September. Gappens became executive vice president and general manager in 2008.
