Sad face it looks like old Victory Lane/Pagoda/Stage is gone at Pocono! That was unique!

Wanted to see what the lead story was on 60 minutes. Used to be you would chose the channel and there you go. Now you have to have permission to leave the app, find CBS somewhere and then jump thru the hoops to get back to the race. Sucks badly.

It is not complicated.
The easy solution is to get a dedicated TV that is setup for each channel. Then you issue the threats against anyone in the house who would dare to change them.

Tell you what.....James is on NASCAR Radio a lot.....he is a smart dude, and if you listen carefully you can hear the frustration over Martin back in the day. Particularly, he talks a ton about how often Chase is in the shop--suggesting in ways to clever to explain that Martin never was--and how much he appreciates it. This team is building, and it is awesome to see James get the respect he deserves. Great ****** day!!!!!!

Elliott is 2 positions on the race track away from being 3rd in points without even sniffing a win. Man has some undeniable race craft.

Agree 100% but winning is all that matters sadly. The only good thing is that no one is racking up a tone of playoff points this year like in years past. He was getting killed in turn 3 yesterday. You could see on his in-car the car was just all over the place trying to get off 3 which is no coincidence to me since the Fords and Yotas own the flat tracks now and that's the flat turn at Pocono. Highest finishing Chevy in 5th and had NTOHING for the Fords and Yotas once tires wore some.
 
OK. I am going to start by saying that everything good I said about PRIME is now rescinded from me. I was outside almost all day yesterday and came in to watch the race around 7pm only to find that the live PRIME broadcast was still on and almost had the race spoiled because it instantly started showing the broadcast in the background when I turned it on. At that point, rewind was not available. So I turned it off thinking that maybe it was because the live broadcast was still on so I watched the Yankee game instead and figured I'd come back later. Annoying but no big deal. Then I come back around 9:00pm to find that the race is not available to watch - no replay. I had to watch the MAX coverage of Chase's in-car only instead. When I cancelled PRIME this AM I gave them an earful. To assume that everyone watches a race live in the summer during the day is a joke and there is just no need to take the replay/rewind option away. I am glad their stint is over and hope they wake up before next season.

As for the race, I can only judge based on what I could see and absorb from Chase's perspective but it did not seem great. Was there an on track pass for the lead? Seemed like more of the same track position BS and very hard to pass. Seemed like cars could catch each other but then hit a wall of air.

The Chevys are just inept right now on flat ovals and I have little excitement for the playoffs at this point as they are still behind the Toyotas and Fords. Buescher blew past Chase like he was not moving once tires wore in and for Chase to be the highest finishing Chevy as far back as he was is just sad. I know the Chevys are fine at higher banked tracks and road courses but forget it at places like Loudon and Phoenix...again.

As for Chase, it's nice to see back to back top-5's and some clean races. They may be getting momentum at the right time but this car/racing and championship format just don't suit him right now. I'd complain about how bad they all suck but I am sure at that point I am just whining....pretty sure even Larson said this racing sucks though. I only hear that when he does not win of course. At least KB said right in victory lane once the cars suck and he hates driving them back when the stupid car of tomorrow came out. LOL.
