Phoenix Cup

Maybe if you could get your wife to a race you'll have her hooked.

I tried - ONCE. She spent the entire race sitting on an infield lounge chair, drinking her Merlot, while chatting with some of the other NA$$CAR Widows (who were also dragged to the event by their husbands) about how miserable they all were.
NOT pretty...

But if I ever do get hooked up again, I will be certain that Race Fan is checked on her application!

Not sure if it has been discussed yet but did anyone notice there wasnt any Digger on FOX this race. That was nice. If there was, I didnt see it.

Digger got creamated at Daytona. They put his ashes in a Tide box and gave it to DW.

Spending $6.99 at Chicagoland on a little Digger diecast for my son last year was painful. But kids like Digger.

Perhaps they should make a Saturday morning cartoon for the little Nascr fans and have Digger and DW call the races

That would be great if it meant that DW was somewhere other than the FOX announce booth!

NASCAR Sprint Cup Racing on FOX posted a solid 5.0/10 Sunday for the Subway Fresh Fit 500 from Phoenix. Though off -6% from last year’s 5.3/11, yesterday’s 5.0/10 ranked as the second highest-rated event of the weekend in the metered markets. It is estimated that once the national ratings are released, the Subway Fresh Fit 500 will be the highest-rated and most-watched event of the weekend. The race rating grew throughout the telecast peaking at a 5.8/11 from 6-6:15pm, but last year's race ran later and faced less competition in the closing laps which allowed last year’s race to peak at a 6.4/12 in the final quarter hour. Through the first two races of the season, NASCAR Sprint Cup Racing is averaging a 6.4/11, down -6% from last year's 6.8/15.(3-6-2012)

The race was up against MSU-OSU hoop, Lakers-Heat, Red Wings-Blackhawks and a PGA event where Tiger almost won. Under those circumstances a 5.0 is pretty damn good.
