yeah it would have been nice to hear that throughout the race. All I heard them say and it was after the race, was that Dillon had increased his lead, but I knew that Hornish moved up, but not how much, and how did Smith do..That was important info they should have had available.

Is Austin Dillon really ready for Cup next year? Maybe RCR would be better giving him another year in Nationwide, bring in Newman or whoever to remain with three cars next season, and then re examine the situation from there.

Pastrana sounded like he was about ready to quit nascar.

At first that is why I thought they interviewed him. It sounded like he was about to announce he was leaving Nascar. Then I just realized they wanted to plug the X-Games one more time.

After watching the race I thought to myself first off; I do not like how the Mustang Busch car looks; 2nd Why hasn't Austin won a race yet this season; & finally third was Brad just taking advantage of the fact that Rowdy Busch skipped this event. A few minutes later I thought; Miller High Life needs to make another appearance as a sponsor, on a Chevy with an identical paint scheme to Bobby Allison's. Finally I went to get an MHL from my fridge, sat back down & then thought to myself; should I buy a used 1997 C5 Corvette or a used 2003 Mercedes AMG E55 Kompressor...??

Over the Cassill we go
Was bad Brad holding back? I was watching the leader board cause I couldn't watch the race and Dillon was dominating until a caution got Brad out in front and it seemed like he was never challenged again. Austin didn't even move up from 4th

Brad was back in field, but he raced to the front after restarting 9th after that caution. When he got clean air he started running fast laps and saving his tires. He did tease Sam a bit at the end until he turned it up for the last lap.

The x games were his sponsor , were they not . Sponsors should be #1 on Travis' mind if he wants to race next year.

Um yeah... I am not talking about Travis promoting his sponsor. I am talking about why espn chose to interview him. It was all about promoting X games not Nascar.

I love short track racing (Taylor's Version)
X Games is an ESPN event. It'd be like "Morning Joe" sponsoring Landon Cassill's car and NBC Sports Network interviewing him after he finished 23rd so he can plug a show on another NBC network. Nobody's faulting Travis. It's ESPN. Because NASCAR has never been anything more than a cross-promotion platform for them... one that wasn't good enough so they've bailed.

They bailed ? I thought they were outbid ?

They didn't bid. They saw the ratings decline and the aging fan base and decided to head for the hills.

works for me, I never watch ESPN except to follow NASCAR around. don't care who does what to whom. Just give me a channel to watch the races and decent coverage. signed..aging fan base.
