If we already have a pre-race discussion for the 500, will someone start another one anyway?

I hope they do Monday night again but I doubt they will. Probably try the Monday morning stuff.
The 2012 Daytona 500 ended up in primetime by accident, same with the 2020 race.

There’s a TV window open between 4-8 PM ET, wouldn’t be shocked if they started a bit later and preempted the other primetime stuff though.

Xfinity at 11am. They might push for a 4pm start Monday. There’s a window late Sunday though.

They might be forced into running the 500 at primetime as rain is now expected through 10am-12pm Monday depending on the source.

Yeah... and frankly I'm surprised they're being as ambitious as they are with the Xfinity race at 11am after what will be 2.5-3" and 48 hours of rain.

4 PM ET is a bit weird. Why not 6 or 7 PM ET? lol

My guess is getting the race in on FOX before its Primetime Lineup Monday Night.

Broadcast networks gotta keep the affiliates happy. They're probably already not happy about losing their local news and the syndicated programming they've paid for. They probably have ad revenue on the line too.
My guess is a prime time start would have required moving the race to FS1. I'm not qualified to say whether a 4p start on Fox will bring more viewers than 8p on FS1, but I'm guessing Fox makes the choices they think will bring them the most revenue.

They had a shot, but didn't....I don't get it honestly....Maybe they were worried that the Xfinity race would go long and mess with the start time?

Nascar and the TV folks are doing the best they can under the circumstances. What ever they come up with at this point is fine with me. I will DVR it anyway and watch at my leisure.
