Bristol TV

[fastfordfan]

ABC alternative TV coverage of Bristol race - NFL games affects some markets: WKRN, Nashville's News 2, will NOT air the Bristol Sprint Cup race due to Tennessee Titans preseason game against the Chicago Bears. The NASCAR race at Bristol on August 27, 2011 will air on ESPN 2 from 6:30pm to 10:00 pm/et [assuming that is just local Nashville for ESPN2].(wkrn.com)
MORE: Due to some ABC affiliates carrying telecasts of NFL pre-season football games or other programming on Saturday night, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Bristol will air regionally on ESPN2 in eight markets: Nashville, Tenn.; Duluth and Rochester, Minn.; Phoenix; Casper, Wy.; Sioux Falls and Rapid City, S.D.; and Weslaco, Tex. In Houston, the race will air on the local ABC affiliate's digital tier station.(ESPN)(8-22-2011)

Happens every year, which is why this race has always been on cable (ESPN, TNT) in the past.

That's redonkulous! Like Flash said, it's pre-season! Stuff like this is one of the reasons why I am against having an NFL team in Los Angeles!

At least with ABC/ESPN, they have other channel options for showing the race. But not everyone gets all of the ESPN variations.

In July, 2001, the Pepsi 400 from Daytona was pre-empted in Houston by the Miss Texas pageant.

At least this is football.

It would've happened had Bristol been on NBC as well.

WMAR has pre-empted NASCAR races for lacrosse. I kid not.

NFL Football will always take precedent over Nascar, the NFL is a huge cash cow, much bigger than Nascar.
